rates

Questions about the cost of therapy and counselling rates in British Columbia? You’ll find answers to your questions below, but if you find you are missing information still, please reach out!

I set my rates in accordance with the British Columbia Association of Clinical Counsellors recommendations for individual and couples sessions.

50-Minute Sessions	90-Minute Sessions
Individuals: $135.00	Individuals: $200.00
Couples: $150.00	Couples: $225.00

Payments can be made via e-transfer or credit card through Jane, my client management system. E-transfers can be sent to callistocounselling@gmail.com. Every client will be entered into Jane for ease of payments and booking future appointments. Instructions and guidance on how to utilize the Jane platform, create an account, make payments, and book future appointments will be provided after your first counselling session.

Counselling often comes with many barriers, and one of those is cost. Many extended benefits plans provide coverage for counselling services, and it is recommended to inquire with your benefits provider to confirm the details of that coverage prior to starting counselling. This coverage can help to mitigate the cost of therapy.

Please note that direct billing to extended benefits providers is not available at this time. After receipt of your payment, I will provide you with an invoice with all relevant information needed so you can submit a claim to your benefits provider to receive reimbursement.

I also offer a limited sliding scale, which is provided to clients upon my personal discretion. If you feel that you are struggling with financial hardship, do not have extended benefits, or have limited income available and are still in need of mental health support, please let me know. My availability for sliding scale clients is limited, but I will always have a waitlist available to those who would like to wait for access to low-cost counselling.

If you need to cancel your appointment, 24 hours’ notice is needed otherwise you will be charged a $50.00 cancellation fee. If you provide more than 24 hours’ notice, you will not be charged. If you miss your appointment entirely, you will be charged a $50.00 cancellation fee. Callisto Counselling reserves the right to enforce or waive these fees based on their personal discretion.
