Direct billing available. We offer direct billing to many extended health insurers, and for any plan we cannot bill directly, we provide receipts you can submit for reimbursement. A limited number of sliding-scale spaces ($120 to $150) are also available based on financial need — if cost is a barrier, mention it during your free consultation.
In-home and community visits: your session fee plus a flat $50. Available with select therapists in North York and nearby areas, we can come to you when getting to the office is difficult. Ask on your free consultation to see if it is a fit.

Just outside North York? We are based here, and we are often glad to travel a little further across the GTA when it helps someone get to the support they need. For areas beyond our usual radius the travel fee may be a little more to cover the longer trip, and we will always agree it with you before your first visit. Tell us your neighbourhood and we will let you know.
