Fees

COUNSELLING THERAPIES – ONLINE SESSIONS:

Counselling therapy, whether individual or for couples, is via PIPEDA/PIPA-compliant online providers for TeleHealth Practitioners.  There are no plans to reopen a brick-and-mortar office.

INDIVIDUAL COUNSELLING THERAPIES:

Individual therapy sessions are a full hour (60 minutes) session at $160.00.   A sliding-scale fee is offered for those on limited incomes.  All appointments are now online through PIPEDA/PIPA-compliant sessions.  

COUPLES THERAPY:

Couples therapy counselling sessions are 75 minutes long; the fee is $240.00 per session.

Couples learn how to move their relationship forward in healthier ways. Megan includes Gottman’s Principles and other couples’ techniques to help guide the relationship back to stability, address traumas, rekindle love, and achieve your goals.  Please find a comfortable private space, either together or at different locations, for your computer, tablet or phone.

COUNSELLING SUPERVISOR (RCS):

Megan is a competency-based, process-oriented Supervisor to those in private practice and working in this field.  As per competency standards in our industry, Megan also receives ongoing supervision.  Fees are discussed when our supervision contract is signed. If you are looking for supervision, please call me to discuss.

GENERAL INFORMATION OF ONLINE SERVICES

The fees are not covered by provincial medical coverage.  Services are paid for by the client receiving services. Some clients have extended health insurance benefits that may reimburse you, depending on your individual coverage.  Please check your individual coverage to ensure it covers the services Megan offers.

RECEIPTS:

The client pays for the session directly to Madrona Wellness Centre.  An official receipt is provided with each online session. Retain your emailed receipts for your own file, for your benefit plan reimbursement, and/or medical tax credit on your income taxes.

APPOINTMENTS:

Appointments are set up by email or text. Please ensure that you leave the best contact information where you can be reached if you are making your initial contact through the website. All messages are returned within 24 hours during regular office hours only.  After hours and weekend inquiries are returned on the first working day of the following week. If you are in an emergency or crisis, DO NOT leave a phone call, email or text message, but seek immediate assistance for your own safety and well-being by calling 911 or a crisis help line.

Note:  Megan often has a waiting list for new clients.

METHOD OF PAYMENT:

E-Transfer payments are submitted either before the session or at the end of the session, the same day.

CANCELLATION OF AN APPOINTMENT:

Because this appointment is reserved for you, Megan does require a minimum of 48 hours’ notice of cancellation, or the full appointment fee will be billed to you. The 48-hour provision generally does not give Megan time to book that session with another client. If she can fill that short-notice cancelled reservation with another client, you will not be billed.
