*A counselling hour consists of 50 minutes of face-to-face time between clients and their counsellors, and 10 minutes allotted for paperwork and case management. This is in keeping with standard professional practice in the field.

We make payment as easy as possible, and are happy to take debit, or credit cards for payment (Visa, MasterCard, American Express).

Fee Policy: The full fee for each appointment is due and payable at the time of service. Third parties who pay for appointments are asked to send payment with the client at the time of service, create a credit with us ahead of time, or leave a credit card on file to be used for payment processing.

Billing Policy: Our policy is to bill for our time when working on client related activities. We are happy to connect with other involved parties for our clients (parents of children, doctors, insurers, etc.), and this time will be billed at our standard hourly rate, in 15 minute increments.

Cancellation Policy: Your appointment time is reserved just for you. A late cancellation or missed visit leaves a hole in the professional’s day that could have been filled by another client. As such, we require notice of 2 business days for any cancellations or changes to your appointment. Clients who provide less than 2 full business days’ notice, or miss their appointment, will be charged the full fee for their session. This ensures fairness to our professionals, as well as to our clients who are wanting to come in for appointments.

Cancellation Policy Update: Clients with mild cold symptoms are welcome and expected to attend their appointments. Online appointments are available for clients who feel more comfortable remaining at home, so long as they have a safe place to connect from. Cancellations or missed appointments due to cold symptoms with less than 2 business days’ notice will be charged the cancellation fee. Clients with a sudden, debilitating and/or contagious illness, or a personal or family emergency may have their cancellation fee waived. This is up to the discretion of your clinician.

Third Party Billing: In the event we are billing a third party for your services, we are unable to retroactively bill for previous sessions. Alongside You must receive confirmation of the billing agreement and coverage prior to providing services and billing any third party. If a client would like to start services before confirmation is received, the client is solely responsible for the charges for these services and must pay privately.

Sliding Scale Reduced Fees

At Alongside You, we recognize that financial challenges can be a concern, especially for those without Extended Health Plan coverage. To address this, we have established an internship program within our clinic that not only serves to train future therapists but also provides an accessible and cost-effective option for counseling services.

If, for clinical reasons, an intern is not deemed a suitable fit for your needs, our directors have the discretion to consider reduced fees for sessions with our registered clinicians. This option is made possible through our collaboration with the Step Forward Health Society’s Step Forward Program. Please note that this opportunity is available on a limited basis and is contingent upon the client’s demonstrated financial need as assessed through the program’s application process.

Our primary goal is to ensure that financial constraints do not hinder individuals from seeking the help they require. We are committed to making mental health support as accessible as possible to all those who need it.

Extended Health Insurance Coverage

We endeavour to support those we serve in accessing Extended Health Insurance coverage for our services. As there are many insurance companies, each with their own specific policies, procedures, and coverages, we ask our clients to pay for our services at the time of provision and we will provide an invoice that may be submitted for reimbursement. Please note that we cannot confirm whether you are covered for services, only your insurance carrier can do this. We recommend that you contact your insurance provider prior to accessing our services to confirm coverage if your participation in our clinic depends on it. Each of our clinicians’ professional designations are available on their profiles on our website and we recommend you call your insurance company and ask about their specific designation and your insurance coverage.

For Registered Massage Therapy, we are able to direct-bill many insurance companies. If you would like us to direct-bill your insurance for massage therapy, please contact us to inquire if we are able to do so.
