Improving Your Child's Well Being
How do I know if my child needs help?
What is the cost for a session?
Our rates are aligned with the Psychologists' Association of Alberta recommended fee schedule. For an Initial Consultation or a 60 minute therapy session, the rate is $225 and for a 30 minute session it is $135 per hour. For all of our assessments, please contact us as it is depends on the different types of assessments being done.
Do you accept direct billing?

Do I need a credit or debit card to book an appointment?
We require a credit card or Visa debit card to be kept on file in order to book an appointment. If you do not have one, or prefer not to keep one on file we will require a deposit equivalent to a 1 hour session fee to be kept on file in the form of etransfer or cash in order to book an appointment.. This will stay as a credit on your account.
Parents often struggle to know what is "normal" kid behaviour and what requires some extra help. If any characteristic, or combination of characteristics, is impacting your child's day-to-day functioning in one or more area of his or her life, you may want to consider reaching out. We use a variety of approaches and theoretical models, such as R&R, Floortime, Pivotal Response Treatment, ABA, cognitive behavioural therapy, mindfulness, and Circle of Security. The approach used is tailored to each client's individual needs.
What can I expect at my initial appointment?
At your first appointment, we will have you complete information forms about your child while we play with them. Sometimes you may wish to not have your child attend depending on the converstation that will be taking place. You will then discuss the information on these forms thoroughly, review some initial strategies, and be given some homework, as well as a laid out plan for treatment going forward.
How long does each therapy session take and how many sessions are required?
Therapy sessions typically last 50 minutes, although there is a 30 minute option as well. How many therapy sessions may be needed is dependent upon presenting concerns. A clear plan for treatment is developed together with the child (where applicable) and family.
