Affordable Therapy Options in Ottawa
Thérapie à échelle variable
Cost is where a lot of people stop before they start. Resiliency Clinic holds a limited number of reduced-fee spots on a sliding scale. If the standard fee is out of reach, say so when you get in touch.
Sliding Scale Therapy Services
Notre modèle de paiement dégressif garantit à chacun l'accès aux soins dont il a besoin, quelle que soit sa situation financière. À la Resiliency Clinic, nous pensons que tout le monde devrait avoir accès à des services de santé mentale de qualité, et nous nous engageons à faire en sorte que cela devienne une réalité.
How the sliding scale works
Sliding scale therapy is a payment model used by some therapists to help meet the need for accessible therapy services. Under this model, the fee for therapy services is adjusted based on the client’s income, insurance coverage, and ability to pay.
This approach is designed to make mental health services more accessible to people from all economic backgrounds. Sliding scale therapy may be an option if you are unable to afford the full fee, which ranges from $160-185 per session for psychotherapy services, depending on the therapist. Unlike traditional psychotherapy with a fixed rate, therapists may offer some spots in their schedule with a lower fee.
In addition, we have reduced fee options available through our training program. Master level qualifying clinicians, as part of their training, complete a practicum at the Resiliency Clinic. Our qualifying clinicians are experienced professionals and offer excellent care, but their fees are much lower as these hours are part of their training and development to become licensed professionals. Please submit a request through our website or call the clinic to learn more.
To find out who has a spot available, please contact Michelle, our clinical director, via our contact page. We look forward to hearing from you.
Another Option
Short-Term Therapy
If cost is the barrier, a shorter course of therapy can bring the total down without a reduced hourly fee. Our short-term therapy option is goal-oriented and skill-based, built around one specific challenge you name at the start rather than open-ended exploration. Fewer sessions, a defined finish, and practical tools you can use outside the room.
It suits mild to moderate concerns with one clear focus. If what you are carrying is layered, longer therapy is the better fit and we will be able to notify you.
