Financial Commitment To Your Mental Health

We provide you with many possible services, under different modalities, for various issues so a full price list is impossible here but will be discussed at intake and again at your therapy planning session. However, for some idea we provide the following.

Therapy Modalities

• Individual
• Couple
• Family
• Children, and group therapy.

Rates

The typical therapy “hour” is 50 minutes per session but can vary from 15 minute check-ins to 60, 75, 90 or even 4 hour mini-intensives. Groups can be as little as 25 minutes twice a week to a full 2 hours, or from a half intensive (2 days) to 10 or 30 days). It is impossible to list all the prices but most are prorated on a per-minute per scheduled appointment time based on a $198 per fifty minute therapy hour, so $3.96 a minute, Those currently locked into a Pay-As-You-Go older model will pay this if not a member of the clinic. Mandatory basic membership and a Premium membership will become available starting January 1st, 2026, The current membership fee is optional but will allow a discount to the now standard $3.96/minute fee. Intern Therapist specials are greatly reduced.

Verify your therapy fees when booking (they should appear in the booking information or in your Therapy Plan package).

Please note: The Whitestone Clinic requires a client to have a working Jane App account in order to schedule and view appointments or clinician fees. Accounts are free to create, and are subject to any user agreements listed by the Jane App.

For extended sessions, rates are adjusted to the cost of a therapy minute per additional time added to the usual rate (e.g., if a typical therapy session with therapist costs $198 per 50-minute session, but with a membership can reduce the rate between $10 to $30 per session in our modular system. a therapy minute is between $3.40 to $3.96; for 15 additional minutes, the cost would be 15×3.96 = $59.40 in addition to the $198 rate, which is $257.40).

Payment: Due at the start of each module.

Acceptable Payment Options: Cash, cheque, credit card, debit card and e-transfer (sent in advance to payment.whitestone@gmail.com)

Payment & Insurance

Payments are automatically charged to your credit card or alternatively we accept debit, e-transfers (sent in advance), cash or cheques. Payment is due at the beginning of the session and receipts issued upon request.

Most therapists are psychologist supervised which means most insurance providers cover a portion of your sessions. Clients submit their receipts to their insurance provider for reimbursement. If a client is not covered by insurance, receipts can be submitted with all medical expenses when taxes are filed. Please note that you may need a doctor’s note dated before the services were provided to qualify.

We recommend you approach your HR or Union to ensure therapy by a Registered Psychotherapist is covered by your insurance provider. Please visit prpainfo.ca/resources for helpful suggestions.
