COVERAGE
Many extended benefit providers will partially or fully cover the costs of counselling.
You will need to contact your individual provider to see if they will reimburse our sessions.
If you are struggling financially, I do offer sliding scale rates which will be determined based on your monthly/annual income. Please don’t hesitate to reach out for more information.
024/2025 FEE STRUCTURE GUIDE
Kirsten can offer reduced session fees while she is an apprenticing counsellor. This means that she is able to independently offer quality counselling sessions under the supervision of a master counsellor and supervisor Deb Berg, MA, RPC, MPCC-S Master Practitioner of Clinical Counselling – Supervision, CPCA License #2540.
$75/session (individual)
$100/couple
If this is still a financial strain on the client, Kirsten can offer a sliding scale option, which is dependent on clients annual household income and any specific life circumstances that may impact their financial situation.
Basic Guide (for individual sessions):
Less the $33,000/year = $45/session
$33,001 – $43,000 = $55/session
$43,001 – $55,000 = $65/session
More than $55,001 = full candidacy rate of $75
No-Fee Session – can be assessed after first appointment for a limited amount of sessions – maximum 3 sessions per client. These sessions are video recorded (camera is just on me) and is viewed by my supervisor to observe my developing skills
CANCELLATION FEE
**A minimum of 24 hours noticed is required to cancel an appointment. If you miss your appointment without prior notice, you may be responsible for the full session fee.

BEFORE YOU BOOK
It is shown that a critical element in successful counselling is the degree of compatibility between you and your therapist. I offer a free 15 minute consultation so we can decide if we are a good fit for each other before committing to future sessions.
WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW FOR COVERAGE
I am a Registered Professional Counsellor Candidate (RPC-C) with the Canadian Professional Counselling Association (CPCA). Registration # 4660
As an apprenticing counsellor who is practicing under the supervision of a MPCC-S (Master Practitioner of Clinical Counselling-Supervisor), I am currently able to offer quality sessions at a reduced rate to my clients.
Many counsellors regardless of experience seek supervision guidance from supervisors who are specifically trained to provide therapy to counsellors.
