Sliding Scale<\/b><\/p>\n

Licensed therapists at Diverse Roots (RCTs, RCT-Cs and SWCs) have a sliding scale that ranges from $110-$160 per 50 minute individual<\/i> session ($115-$160 for credit card payments). For licensed therapists who are seeing more than one person as their clients (people who are in a relationship dynamic), the sliding scale ranges from $150-190 per 50 minute relationship\/couples’<\/i> session ($155-$190 for credit card payments). Our therapists see clients in any form of relationship dynamic, including polycules. Clients are invited to pay whatever they can afford along these scales at any given time. <\/p>\n

Student therapists’ sessions are charged at a reduced rate of $80 per 50 minute session. <\/p>\n

Group therapy sessions are Pay What You Can, with a suggested rate of $30 per session, regardless of timeframe (ie the group session will cost up to $30 for you regardless of the length of time that the group runs, whether that’s 60, 90 or 120 minutes).<\/p>\n

All counselling therapy and social work sessions are HST\/tax exempt.<\/p>\n

We have a sliding scale because we acknowledge that almost all of our clients are either students and\/or come from minority communities and have more tenuous financial situations due to systemic disadvantages. We also know that people’s financial situations fluctuate over time and we believe in making therapy as accessible as possible. If finances are a barrier to therapy for you, please contact us for alternatives. We strive for accessibility in all areas, including financially. We issue receipts after every session and our sessions can be claimed under income taxes.<\/p>\n

Insurance Coverage<\/b><\/p>\n

Sessions with us are sometimes either fully or partially covered by private insurance (though not by MSI yet). You’ll have to contact your insurance company directly in order to find out whether you have coverage because RCTs and social workers are covered under some plans but not under others. If you are seeing one of our students, your coverage will go through Erica’s license number and name as they are working under Erica’s license as students.<\/p>\n
