Some people want to check something before booking: whether I can help with what's going on, how insurance works, or which language we'd use. Send a short message, or call or text 778-889-4189.
Fees
Clear prices. Help checking your coverage.
Individual & EMDR
Progress is checked regularly with the same questionnaires as the free self-checks, so you can see change, not just feel it. Extended sessions give more time for EMDR processing, when that's helpful. A 3 to 4 hour EMDR intensive is $600. The Praxis Way: $180 per session pay as you go, $1,944 paid in full, or $2,880 Intensive. Compare options
Couples & family (EFT)
Communication, trust, attachment, family expectations.
Restore Program
Court-referred, 6 to 12 sessions. Pay upfront and save 10%: $1,080 for 6 sessions, $2,160 for 12. About Restore
Paying for it
Direct billing to most extended health plans that cover a Registered Clinical Counsellor. Credit card or e-Transfer. The Praxis Way Pay in full and Intensive are paid online at checkout; if you end the program early, unused sessions are refunded and sessions attended are charged at the pay-as-you-go rate. Coverage varies by plan, so check yours. Sliding scale available, so just ask.
Before you book
Common questions
Is this covered by my insurance?
Many extended health plans cover a Registered Clinical Counsellor, and I can bill most of them directly. Check your plan for "RCC" or "counsellor" coverage, or ask on your free consultation.
What if I'm not sure I need therapy?
That's what the free consultation and the self-checks are for. There's no obligation to book anything after.
I've tried therapy before and it didn't help. How is this different?
Many people come in with real insight into their patterns but haven't experienced lasting change. The work here doesn't stop at talking about what's happening. EMDR and Emotionally Focused Therapy work with it at a deeper level.
What if I can't put what I'm feeling into words?
That's more common than you might think, and you don't need precise language to begin. EMDR and EFT are designed to work with experiences that are hard to put into words.
Do I have to commit to long-term therapy?
No. Some people come with a specific concern and prefer a shorter focus. Others want to explore deeper patterns over time, or choose the 12-week Praxis Way. The direction is always guided by your goals.
What's your cancellation policy?
Please give at least 24 hours' notice to cancel or reschedule. Late cancellations are charged 50% of the session fee, and missed appointments the full fee.
