Rates

• $220 for a individual, 50-minute session. $240 for couples or family sessions. Rates are per the 2024 recommended fees set by the College of Alberta Psychologists. 

• I reserve a small number of slots to offer as a sliding scale fee; priority will be given to individuals who identify as Indigenous. Connect with me to learn more.

Insurance

Therapy provided by a Registered Psychologist is accepted by most private extended health insurance companies. Empowered Emotions Psychology offers direct billing to some, but not all, insurance companies. These include Alberta Blue Cross, Canada Life, Manulife, Claim Secure, iA Financial Group, Desjardins, Johnson, and many others. Following our sessions, you will receive the invoice (including my registration number). This can be kept for your records or to self-submit for insurance claims if we are not able to direct bill on your behalf.

Please contact your insurance provider for more information about coverage levels for psychotherapy services.

I’d recommend asking these questions to your insurance provider to help determine your benefits:

• Does my health insurance plan include mental health benefits?

• Do I have a deductible? If so, what is it and have I met it yet?

• Does my plan limit how many sessions per calendar year I can have? If so, what is the limit?

• Do I need written approval from my primary care physician for services to be covered?

For anyone not covered or those who do not have health benefits coverage with an employer, you can claim counselling services as a tax-deductible health expense

Payment

Payment is accepted via e-transfer, insurance, and credit card.

Cancellation Policy

If you are unable to attend a session, please make sure you cancel at least 24 hours beforehand. Otherwise, you may be charged for the full fee of the session ($220).
