Fees for individual clients are $150 per 60 minute session. Fees for couple and family therapy is $195 per 60 minute session. HST is additional when applicable.
Payment is due on the day of the session and can be made by etransfer, debit card, credit card or cash.
I reserve a few sessions per month on a sliding fee scale for clients who are unable to pay full fees. Please contact Mike directly by email to inquire if space is available (mike@mikemelles.ca).
Insurance and Employee Benefits
Psychotherapy is not covered by OHIP, but fees for psychotherapy may be covered under third party insurance plans or employee benefits. Mike is an approved provider through Medavie Blue Cross and Health Claims for Auto Insurance (HCAI), both of whom pay for services directly. For other insurance providers, the client is responsible for submitting receipts for reimbursement to the provider. Services not paid for by insurance can be claimed as a medical expense on your income tax.
Mike's practice is supervised by a Registered Psychologist. Upon request, a receipt co-signed by Mike and the supervising Registered Psychologist is available for third party insurance providers who cover psychologist fees. Please note, fees for these one-hour sessions are $170 (note - HST is not applicable to co-signed receipts).
Cancellations
For sessions cancelled less than 24 hours in advance, the full cost of the session may be charged.
