Counselling Rates
Our rates reflect the level of experience and training that our therapists bring to the services they provide. They are in accordance with recommendations set by the British Columbia Association of Clinical Counsellors.
Associate sliding scale is offered on a limited basis and is dependent on your counsellor's availability for subsidized space. If you have extended benefits that cover a Registered Clinical Counsellor then you will be able to claim your counselling fees with our Associates. We provide receipts with the counsellor's RCC number on them so you can claim them back. We are unable to provide direct billing. Please check with your provider to verify that they cover an RCC. Longer session rates are prorated.
Please note our intern fees are not normally covered by extended benefits. Please contact admin to apply for an intern sliding scale. You can book directly online for a regular intern rate session. Chris Rambaran is a Registered Social Worker and fees can be covered by extended benefits that cover RSW.

Our available counsellors on the right, are registered providers with ICBC. You can book now through our booking system. Please make sure you select the ICBC session and fill out the intake form before your appointment. ICBC does not cover our full session fee. A co-pay fee will be charged to the client for each ICBC session, and the remainder of our fee we bill directly to ICBC. This fee ranges from $12 - $28 depending on the therapist's regular fee.
CVAP (Crime Victims Assistance Program)
If you have CVAP funding you will need to provide all claim details in the intake form before your first appointment. CVAP limits compensation of counselling sessions to $80.00, therefore clients will be required to co-pay for the remainder of the session fee. Payment for the co-pay portion of the session will be required prior to your session. The fee ranges from $50 - $80 plus GST depending on the therapist's regular fee.
If you have been a victim of a crime and want to apply for funding
