If you are covered by an employer extended medical/health benefits plan, you may be covered for counselling. Many plans provide funding for certain amount of counselling sessions or dollar amount. For more information, please refer to your company insurance plan. If you are paying for counselling with your own funds, counselling sessions through A9 Counselling & Consulting Services Inc. can be claimed on your income tax as a medical expense. Since Sept. 25, 2012, counselling provided by a Registered Social Worker (RSW) has been a claimable medical tax deduction. For more information, please refer to the Canadian Revenue Agency website’s authorized medical practitioners for the purpose of claiming medical expenses.
Generally, a 55 minute session for an individual costs $150 + HST. We also offer longer 80 minute sessions for individuals when needed for $200 + HST. We also offer a sliding scale for those who do not have coverage or cannot afford the full amount. HST is fully recoverable for those clients with a business number charging HST and claiming it as professional development.
We understand that you can't put clients in a simple box as their needs are complex and unique to the individual. This being said, we can also discuss the details of fees once we have developed a clear understanding of your needs and what your expectations are.
