Therapy Rates & Session Information
Welcome to our Therapy Rates and Session Information page. Here, you’ll find everything you need to know about starting your therapeutic journey with us, from session lengths and frequency to financial details and insurance options. We understand that therapy is an investment in your well-being, and we aim to provide clear, transparent information to help you feel supported in making informed decisions. Whether you’re exploring therapy for the first time or looking to continue your journey, we’re here to help you find the right fit for your needs.
Do you offer free consultations?
Yes, a free 20-minute meet and greet is offered to all potential clients. This allows you to ask any questions that you may have about the therapy process and see if you feel comfortable with your therapist before starting a therapeutic relationship with them.
It may be helpful for you to bring a notebook or something to write in, if you find that helpful to remember or use to reflect back on.
Rates
Our standard session fees can vary depending on who you may be seeing. Therapists who are qualifying or who are students may offer more sliding scale rates or lower rates while they gain more experience. More seasoned therapists may charge more and have less sliding scale options. Please reach out to see what options are available for you. Clients are responsible for paying session fees at each appointment.
Insurance Coverage
If you have benefits provided through your employer that you are hoping to use, please discuss this with us prior to your first session to ensure that you will be reimbursed for the cost of the sessions. Each benefit provider is unique in the services and professional designations that they do cover.
If you do have benefits that you are hoping to use for your sessions, please note that you will be responsible for paying for the sessions yourself and submitting your receipts for reimbursement with your benefits provider directly.
Sasha and Sarah are approved NIHB providers (Non-Insured Health Benefits) which allows status First Nations and Inuit people to access therapy through benefits provided by the Federal government. Sasha is also a provider through the Indian Residential School Support Program – Resolution Health Support Program, which offers therapy to Residential School survivors and their families.
Length of Therapy Sessions
Each therapy session typically lasts for 50 -60 minutes. This allows ample time for a meaningful discussion without feeling rushed. We are committed to ensuring that each session provides the depth and focus needed for your progress.
If longer sessions are wanted or may be helpful for your nervous system to settle, that can also be arranged. Some therapists may also recommend slightly longer sessions when working with couples and families. The fee will be prorated to adjust to the longer session time.
Frequency and number of Sessions
How often should I attend therapy sessions?
The frequency of therapy sessions can vary based on your individual needs and the nature of the issues you wish to address. Biweekly sessions to start are typically recommended to allow for reflection and incorporation of things that are discussed in therapy. You are not required to commit to a specific number of sessions and we can work together to assess what might be helpful for you and your circumstances.
