First appointments are your opportunity to tell your story. We will ask you a variety of questions, both past and present, about things like symptoms, childhood experiences, support systems, etc. This allows us to gain an idea of what your struggles are and formulate a diagnosis, if required. At the end of your appointment, we typically provide some basic coping skills you can begin to utilize. Then we will discuss treatment options available to you.
Interactions with our therapists are confidential and will not be released to a third-party without signed consent by the client. Exceptions to confidentiality include:
• Imminent danger of harm to self and/or others.
• Provincial law requiring a psychologist who learns of, or strongly suspects, physical or sexual abuse or neglect of any person under 18 years of age to report this information to child protection services.
• A court order, issued by a judge, requiring TLC Counselling to release information contained in records and/or to testify in a court hearing.
The rate to see a psychologist or certified counsellor is $235 for a 50-minute session. Rates per session are based on the recommended fee schedule set by the Psychologists Association of Alberta.
Rates for Trauma Informed Yoga Services are $85 for a 60 minute session.
It is our belief that everyone deserves affordable, quality mental health services. We know finances are tight for everyone these days, thus our providers reserve a limited portion of their caseloads to those who are unable to afford the full rate. Please contact the office for more information about our sliding fees and who has availability.
If you are currently seeing one of our providers and no longer able to afford their full rate, please speak to your provider and they will determine the best option for you.
Direct billing is offered in a limited capacity depending on which therapist you are seeing. Our Registered Provisional Psychologists and Counsellors are able to direct bill to Blue Cross, ASEBP, Blue Cross Medavie, GreenShield, and SSQ Insurance. Interns and practicum students are not able to direct bill insurance.
Please contact the office if you have any additional questions about direct billing.
We recommend clients touch base with their insurance to ensure that services are covered under our licensing and to determine if any coverage caps (per/session or annually) are applicable.
Registered Provisional Psychologists are in final stages of finishing their license requirements to practice independently as a Registered Psychologist.
They have, at minimum, completed a Master’s level education in psychology, a practicum placement, and follow a rigorous application process with the College of Alberta Psychologists.
During this process, Registered Provisional Psychologists are required to obtain supervision from an experienced Registered Psychologist. During the course of this supervision, your file could be shared with the supervisor(s) for consultation. The purpose of this supervisory relationship ensures that you are receiving the best possible counselling and treatment!
