What payment methods do you accept?
Our office policy is to request payment at the time of service. We currently accept the following methods of payment:

Do you accept Extended Health Benefits?
Most psychological services provided by a registered psychologist are either partially or fully covered by private extended insurance plans. We offer E-Claims and direct billing with specific private insurance providers. Please contact us if you would like to determine whether your insurance provider is part of the E-claim program.
*We do ask that you contact your private insurance provider to determine how much coverage you have for psychological services and whether you need a doctor’s referral to access your benefits before booking your appointment.
