Fees
Direct Billing
& Counselling Fees
Therapy is an investment in yourself. You may want to explore options available to you, such as insurance and benefits coverage, to find a balance between resources and needs.
Effective from January 1, 2023, sessions for new clients will be billed at a rate of $220/50 minute session.
To facilitate ease and accessibility of counselling, Sana Psychological is happy to offer direct billing with a number of insurance providers, including:
Please be advised that Manulife and SunLife do not currently accept direct billing for psychological services. If you have your benefits plan through either of these companies, you will need to submit for reimbursement yourself. A receipt is provided after each session for submission to your insurance plan for reimbursement if we are unable to do direct billing. Many insurance plans cover a portion or all of the cost of a therapy session with a Registered Psychologist.
Did you know that therapy with a Registered Psychologist is an expense that you can claim on your tax return? Hang onto your receipts to include in your tax documents at the end of the taxation year if you are not using benefits.
The Psychologist’s Association of Alberta has a recommended fee schedule for Psychologists. The rates at Sana Psychological are consistent with this.
Process
Appointments can be booked anytime through the online scheduling portal*.
*If you have questions or are a new client and the ‘New Client’ option is unavailable on the scheduling portal, please e-mail sanapsyc@gmail.com
Please take time to read through the website and some additional online information, including Paige Abbott’s Psychology Today profile, Instagram and Facebook feeds to familiarize yourself with our approach and services. Returning client appointments are usually scheduling 2-4 weeks in advance and it is encouraged that multiple appointments get scheduled to ensure the frequency you are looking for.
Payment types accepted at this time are: Cash, e-transfer, credit card, debit and direct billing.
Sana Psychological wants to thank you for taking the time to consider us for being a part of your journey of self-improvement and development. We hope you will find empathy, expertise, and care here that facilitates a productive and enjoyable experience (that’s right, therapy can be enjoyable!). We look forward to supporting you.
