Session Times and Fees:

Fees are reviewed annually and adjusted to keep with local standards. Regardless of increases, your fee is guaranteed for a minimum of 1 year once you start therapy.

Fees: The cost of therapy services is $150/hour. Payments can be made by cash, cheque or bank e-transfer.

Individual sessions are typically 60 minutes in length (50 minutes of therapy, 10 minutes administration) - $150.

EMDR sessions occasionally can take 1.5 hrs; rates are pro-rated (80 minutes of therapy, 10 minutes administration) - $225.

The 10 minutes of administration time is used to collect payment, book the next appointment and update your chart notes.

Can't decide? Contact Lori for a free 15 minute consultation to see if you are a good fit.

Your first session will give you and your therapist an opportunity to get to know each other. You will spend the first few minutes filling out some paperwork, and you will have an opportunity to ask any questions about the therapist or the service agreement.

Counselling service is not covered under Manitoba's Health Care. Some extended health benefits plans through places of employment may provide coverage for counselling. See the list at right and check with your provider to find out exactly what qualifications are required in order for a counsellor to be approved for coverage.
