WCC now offers direct billing to various insurance providers for counselling and psychological services. In the event we are unable to direct bill to your insurance provider, you will need to pay at the time of your appointment. After payment we will be able to provide you with a receipt that you can submit to your insurance for reimbursement.

Please note: we are unable to direct bill to Sunlife or Manulife.

In the event your insurance does not cover the cost, you will need to pay out of pocket. We accept debit, credit card or exact cash. Some counsellors offer sliding scales with a lower hourly rate, please ask about this at the time of inquiry.

Counselling and treatment costs depend on the therapist’s expertise, education, experience, and licensing board. Session costs can range from $180 to $220 per hour. Some therapists also offer a sliding scale hourly rate, which we can discuss with you when you inquire.

The number of sessions depends on every individual’s presenting issues and concerns and willingness to do the work. On average, clients need 10 to 20 sessions.

No. Your sessions will be in the same format and equally successful, in person, via video calls, or on the phone.

All sessions are private and confidential.

Meeting with a counsellor to discuss your worries and concerns about your child’s struggles will help you and your child. Please speak to our office manager as a first step to determine whether counselling is needed.

You can always suggest counselling as an option to help them: we offer family counselling, providing a safe environment for you to voice your concerns with or without them. Our counsellors can also meet with you one on one and help you brainstorm the best ways to approach your parents with your concerns.
