Accessibility, options, & Counselling Fees
We believe everyone should have access to mental health support. We offer two pathways for counselling to ensure financial barriers do not stand in the way of your healing and care.
Low-cost counselling ($75 – $110 / session)
Work with our skilled practicum student counsellors. These therapists are in the final stages of their graduate training and are closely supervised by highly experienced therapists. Rates are sliding-scale based on your resources.
Full-cost counselling ($160 / session)
Work with one of our associate counsellors. Our associates are fully qualified professionals who have completed their training and bring specialized expertise to the practice.
