Frequently Asked Questions

How much are your services & are they covered by insurance?

The hourly rate (55 minutes) is $185 which is recommended for all initial assessments. Following that, to make therapy more affordable, 30 minute sessions are offered for you to book at your convenience. Psychotherapy is also tax exempt, meaning there is no HST added. 

Insurance plans typically cover costs associated with seeing a Registered Social Worker or Psychotherapist. It is recommended to double check coverage before booking an initial assessment. 

do you offer direct billing?

At this time we do not offer direct billing to insurance companies. Once the session is completed, a receipt will be sent to the email associated with the booking system so that you can submit it to your insurance company for reimbursement. If you have additional questions about this process do not hesitate to reach out. 

What age groups do you provide services for &
do you offer in person sessions?

We provide individual Psychotherapy & Counselling services to anyone 16 years old and above. 

At this time, Branching Beyond Psychotherapy & Counselling provides virtual sessions, however look out for future announcements regarding in person sessions!

What is your cancellation policy?

To maintain consistency and respect for all clients, sessions are scheduled with intention. We have a 24 hour cancellation policy. Sessions cancelled with less than 24 hours' notice or missed without notice will be charged the full session fee, due the same day. Please check with your insurance provider as these fees may not be covered.
