Payment
Payment is due in full at the time of your appointment and can be made by cash, credit card, or debit. We provide receipts for clients who wish to seek reimbursement from their insurance company. Therapy sessions may be claimed as a medical expense on your annual income tax where eligible.
Insurance & Direct Billing
We offer direct billing for members of the CAF, VAC, and RCMP, and for those eligible for NIHB benefits. We don’t direct bill personal health insurance plans. You pay at your appointment and submit your receipt to your insurer. Many insurers reimburse within a day or two through their app. Check with your plan ahead of time to confirm which type of clinician it covers.
Cancellation & Rescheduling
If you need to cancel or reschedule, let your therapist know as early as possible. Your appointment time is reserved for you alone.
We ask for at least 24 hours notice, not counting weekends or holidays, to cancel or reschedule. Late cancellations and missed appointments are charged the full session fee, which must be paid before booking another appointment. Please contact your therapist directly to cancel or reschedule.
Insurance plans and third-party providers don’t cover fees for late cancellations or missed appointments.
