Once your appointment is booked, you will receive an email confirmation with a link to connect for the session. The online platform is confidential and secure and complies with the security standards/regulations contained in the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA).

The hourly rate for a Clinical Psychologist is $250. We also offer reduced sliding-scale rates, based on need, to a proportion of clients.

Psychological services provided by Clinical Psychologists might be partially or fully covered by extended insurance plans through work or school. We suggest speaking with your insurance provider to inquire about your coverage. Psychological services are also considered a medical expense in Ontario and may therefore be tax-deductible.
