Fees

Services provided by a private psychologist are not covered under MSI. However, many extended health benefit plans offer reimbursement for services delivered by a Registered Psychologist. It is recommended that you contact your insurance provider prior to booking to confirm coverage details, including whether a physician referral is required. Fees not covered by insurance may be eligible as medical expenses for income tax purposes.

The fee for a 50-minute psychotherapy session is $225, consistent with the recommended fee guidelines of the Association of Psychologists of Nova Scotia.

Session fees are due at the end of each appointment. Receipts are provided for reimbursement and clients are responsible for submitting these to their insurance provider.

Financial Accessibility

Access to mental health care is important. At Morine-MacDow Psychological Services, a limited number of reduced-fee appointments are available for individuals experiencing financial hardship. If financial concerns may prevent you from seeking support, please reach out to discuss available options.

Cancellation Policy

Appointments are reserved specifically for each client. If you need to cancel or reschedule, please provide at least 24 hours notice. This allows appointment times to be offered to other clients who may be waiting for support. Appointments cancelled with less than 24 hours notice, or missed appointments, may be billed at the full session fee. These administrative details will be further discussed during the initial consultation.
