Funding & Coverage
I am currently able to accept funding from the Autism Funding Unit (AFU) and Crime Victim Assistance Program (CVAP). Please note that, until funding is confirmed, clients are responsible for payments.
As a Registered Clinical Counsellor (RCC), my services are often eligible for reimbursement through extended health benefit plans. RCC receipts are provided for all client sessions.
Payments & Policies
Payment is due at the time of your session. Receipts will be provided following each appointment.
Please note that 48 hours’ notice is required for cancellations or changes. Late cancellations or missed appointments may be subject to the full session fee.

Frequently Asked Questions
What session should I book to get started?
If you'd like to connect, share a little bit about what you're looking for, or ask any questions you may have, feel free to book a Meet & Greet session. Alternately, you may book an Initial Assessment session. Please note that an Initial Assessment is required prior to meeting with any children and youth. Adults may choose to book a 50 minue consultation as an initial session.
I want to cancel or change an appointment. What should I do?
Please use our online booking system to make any adjustments to your sessions. Our admin team has access to the same appointment availability that you see online. If you are unable to cancel or adjust your session online, it may be because the cancellation window has passed and an associated fee may apply. If you have an urgent cancellation, please reach out directly to Inka or our admin team at hello@iharttherapy.ca
What should I do if I have questions or would like to speak to someone?
Please feel free to reach out to our admin team at hello@iharttherapy.ca Emails are monitored on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Please note that if you email our admin team with a cancellation and we are unable to receive this cancellation within the 48 hour mark, you may be charged a fee. Because of this, please cancel or reschedule any sessions using our online booking system. If you have questions about the booking system or would like help navigating it, please reach out to our admin team at the time of booking to ensure you have full access to manage sessions.
What is the cancellation policy?
We understand that life happens and sometimes schedules change unexpectedly. We kindly ask that cancellations or appolntment changes be made within the required I require 48 hours' notice period. Late cancellations or missed appointments will be subject to a cancellation fee. If an emergency arises, please reach out directly at your earliest convenience and we will do our best to support you.
Are there any other fees I should know about?
All typical session fees are outlined above. Please note that services outside of scheduled counselling sessions, including email correspondence, phone consultations, meetings with schools or other professionals, paperwork completion, and completion of forms such as Confirmation of Services forms to support an IEP are billed at the hourly rate in 5 minute increments. Any/all legal-related matters are subject to a higher legal rate. Please reach out directly with any related inquiries .
What should I expect in the first session?
The initial assessment is a collaborative 80-minute session where we discuss your child's goals, strengths, and history to create a personalized support plan. Adults who are looking for support can book an individual session as a first session as an initial assessment is not requirement for adult support.
How often should we attend sessions?
Frequency depends on each individual's goals and needs. Typically, we start with weekly or bi-weekly sessions to build rapport and momentum toward goals. As part of the initial session, we can discuss recommended frequency based on goals and individual needs.
How do I bill my insurance provider?
After each session, you will receive an RCC receipt which you can submit to your extended health provider for reimbursement according to your plan.
Understanding Your Benefits
Questions to Ask Your Insurance Provider
Understanding your coverage can help you plan for your child's care. Here are some helpful questions to ask your extended health provider:
- Does my plan cover counseling services by a Registered Clinical Counsellor (RCC)?
- What is the annual maximum amount covered for counselling per person?
- Is there a deductible I need to meet before coverage begins?
- What is the percentage or fixed amount covered per session?
- Does my plan require a physician’s referral for reimbursement?
