FULL COST COUNSELLING with our associates
For people looking to work with more experienced therapists, we offer full cost counselling with our associates. Our associate counsellors cover a range of clinical topics and are carefully selected for their life experience, clinical training background, interpersonal skills, and character strength.
While the Vancouver Therapy Collective specializes in offering affordable therapy, we also work with associate therapists to offer more experienced and specialized support. Our associates are professionals who have completed their training and are early in their professional careers. They receive close clinical supervision from Dr. Christopher Brown along with other supervisors to ensure that the care they provide is consistent, ethical, and effective.
As fully trained counsellors, our associates have specialized knowledge, areas of expertise, and training across therapy modalities. You can request to work with our associates directly and we encourage you to read their profiles to discover more about them.
The standard session fee with an associate counsellor costs $160 per 50 minute session. They will provide a receipt following payment, which you may submit to your insurance provider for reimbursement, depending on your coverage. All new clients are offered a free 20 minute consultation directly with our associates to get to know each other better and address any questions you may have.
