Fees can depend on the clinician or service provided.
For psychologists at Warrior’s Way, the fee is $235.00 per 50-minute hour as per the recommendations of the Psychologists’ Association of Alberta. At times, clinicians may have sliding scale spots where the session fee is a lower rate for a limited number of sessions.
The rate is $58.75 per 15 minutes for report writing, consultation with physicians or other specialists, or other administration requests outside of your regular treatment hour.
For our provisional social worker (Vida), her fee is currently $150.00 per 50 minute hour.
E-Transfers are the preferred payment method.
A credit card must be placed on your file to book a session. Credit cards are only used for overdue payments and applicable credit card fees apply.

Fees & Insurance
What if I can’t afford the fee?
We want to ensure that therapy is accessible. While we are aware that private practice fees are high for many people, we also recognize that clinicians with years of training and specialization must be compensated accordingly.
With that in mind, don’t let that stop you from reaching out. Some of our clinicians may have sliding scale options at times and if not, will provide you with referrals to places with lower fees. Some places have student therapists under supervision of a registered psychologist/social worker who can also offer lower fees. Let us know how we can support you!
Hopefully in the future, these services will be covered by more insurance or public health. Your mental health is just as important as your physical health and each impacts the other.
