Low Fee Service by Student Interns

As you know psychological services such as counselling/psychotherapy and testing are not cover by OHIP. The general public are often faced with the financial barrier in accessing the services they need.

In September we will have two part-time student-interns, a doctoral student in school & clinical child psychology and an advanced masters student in counselling psychology (adult). They will be under direct clinical supervision by Dr. Ken Kwan, Ph.D., RMFT, C. Psych. One of our goals in establishing the internship program is to offer a low cost alternative. The intent of the program is not for profit. The program is not funded by any agencies therefore we will charge a nominal fee to cover our costs and a small stipend for the student. 

Services offered: 12-session time limited psychotherapy for children adolescents, adults and families. Psychological assessment for children is also available. 

Fee: Fee for psychotherapy sessions is $50 per 1-hour session

Fee for psychological assessment is $70 per hour. 

The number of hours for assessment is based on the nature of the referral question and the number of hours to complete the assessment and preparation of report.

Time: The interns will be at the clinic on Mondays and Thursdays from 1:00 pm — 9:30 pm.   

Who the program is intended for: The program is for those who cannot otherwise afford psychological services. It is not for individuals who can access insurance coverage. 

Looking at the service capacity, we will accept a maximum of 20 child clinical cases and 20 adult clinical cases on a first come, first serve basis. More space may be available at a later time. For further information or referral, please contact Cathy at 905-721-7723.
