Funding Your Therapy

Fees for therapy:

Individual sessions with a Registered Clinical Counsellor:  $100 per hour. A sliding scale is available for those with financial barriers. Please contact us for more information.

Group sessions: $40 per week – with a commitment that you’ll attend all sessions in that round.

Master’s level Practicum Clinician (supervised by a registered clinical counsellor): $50 per hour. A sliding scale is available for those with financial barriers. Please contact us for more information.

Accepted payment methods: Cash, cheque, or credit card. We also accept employment benefits. Please check with your insurance provider to ensure that they cover Registered Clinical Counsellors.

For those who qualify, funding may be available through:

  • the provincial government where the abuse occurred.  Most provinces have a Crime Victim Assistance Program (CVAP), each with it’s own qualifying criteria.  Our Victim Services Workers are available to help you apply.
  • in BC by the Residential Historical Abuse Program (RHAP) which is administered by the regional Health Authority where the survivor now resides.  Our Victim Services Workers are available to help you apply.
  • the survivor’s (or spouse’s) EAP or extended health coverage. Note that these plans will typically only support psychologists or social workers – the Society’s therapists are Clinical Counsellors.  As each employer’s plan is unique, it is up to the employee to verify their ability to submit claims to their plan.
  • others may qualify for therapy on a sliding scale basis, with therapy to be provided by one of our Practicum Students (supervised by a Therapist).  Note that there is a waiting list for this service.
