IAN: The fee to see Ian is normally $150/individuals, $160/couples and families per full hour (including tax). Most therapists offer only 50 minute sessions. Some local psychologists with similar training to Ian charge $200 per 50 minutes.

BONNIE: The fee to see Bonnie is normally $135 per full hour (including tax).

JUDE: Jude works on a sliding scale fee schedule, ranging from $100-125/hour for couples, and from $80-110/hour for individuals. While she is interning, her fees are not covered by insurance. See her page for more information or to contact her.

If paying this much seems too high, do ask yourself this question: "what is my health and my relationship truly worth?" If you are losing work time, quality time with others, missed opportunities that have financial consequences, the cost to your children (now and in the future) or perhaps a separation (living in different residences is costly!) or even a divorce (check out the cost of hiring one or two lawyers), then is the cost of improving your life that expensive?

Sliding fees are possible for a limited number of clients per week. Fees are not income tax deductible (yet!); however, you may be able to receive reimbursement from your employer's benefits. Do ask.  Call and we can talk.

Hours vary per counsellor and tend to be flexible, to accommodate as many people as possible. Depending on the counsellor you choose, evening and weekend appointments may be possible. If your health or your relationship is important then call.

Appointments are normally about 60 minutes in length, initially usually spaced once a week (for optimal benefit).

You can expect respect, confidentiality and a no-nonsense approach that quickly gets to the root of the problems and moves toward solutions that you determine. We do not "counsel" (as does a lawyer); we help you find the solutions that will propel your life and/or relationship forward.

We do not "psycho-analyze" you, but help you to draw on your strengths, assist you to curtail your problematic patterns, learn from your mistakes, turn your problems into opportunities, and free you to live life well.
