After that, we’ll work together to get a sense of how many sessions may be helpful as you work toward health and healing, usually weekly or every two weeks—adjusting the pace to suit your needs and availability.

 

Initial assessment session: $270+GST for 80 minutes.
Following sessions:                 $180+GST for 50 minutes.

 

Financial support options can be explored such as WINZ, I Am Hope, and health insurance.
