Individual sessions provide a client-centred treatment where the therapeutic process is tailored entirely to your/ your child’s unique pace, sensory profile, and personal goals. For children ages 2–7, individual sessions are typically used for trauma-focused work. Family therapy is often recommended for other concerns at this age. Sessions available in English, Cantonese and Mandarin.

Caregivers Coaching and Psychotherapy
In sessions of caregivers coaching and psychotherapy, we provide practical tools for daily parenting challenges while exploring how your own upbringing influences your parenting values and approach today. By understanding your past, we work together to create a more intentional and confident way of parenting that fits your family's needs. Sessions available in English, Cantonese, and Mandarin.
50 Minutes* - $170
*Sessions with two or more caregivers require a minimum booking of 60 minutes. The applicable fee will be based on the scheduled session length.

Family Therapy Session
Family therapy helps your family get more "in tune" with one another and build deeper emotional bonds. We focus on helping family members attune to each other’s unique needs and rhythms, creating a more harmonious and supportive family life. This is often the recommended approach for young children (ages 2–7) and neurodivergent children, particularly when trauma and domestic violence are not the primary concern.
50 Minutes - $200

Single Session Therapy
Single Session Therapy (for any individuals aged 8 or above), based on the principles of Solution Focused Brief Therapy, provides an one-time consultation and therapeutic support designed to offer families immediate strategies and new perspectives for urgent and prompting concerns. This efficient, solution-oriented service empowers you with practical tools and clear next steps to manage your goals independently following the session.
60 Minutes - $205
Other Fees*
These fees may be eligible for reimbursement through Ontario Autism Program (OAP) funding. Please check with your child's OAP coordinator to confirm.

To ensure a cohesive approach to the family’s care, arrangement of meetings with schools, physicians, or other healthcare professionals is available. This collaborative advocacy helps bridge the gap between therapy and other areas of life.

Insurance Coverage & Fundings
While psychotherapy services provided by Registered Psychotherapist are not covered by OHIP, they are often covered by many extended health benefit plans. Most private, employer-based, and student insurance plans provide coverage for 'Psychotherapy' or 'Mental Health' services. We recommend contacting your provider to confirm that your specific plan covers services provided by a Registered Psychotherapist (RP). A receipt containing the therapist’s registration number will be sent to you within 1–2 business days of your session for reimbursement.
Questions to ask your provider:
Does my plan cover services provided by Registered Psychotherapist? (Be specific about the professional designation)
What is the maximum coverages for psychotherapy or mental health services per year?
What percentage of cost in each session is covered by your insurance plan (e.g. 80%, 90%, or 100%)?
Is there a per session cap and if so, what is it?
When does your benefits year start and end?
How do I submit claims?
What information needs to be included on invoices, especially when two or more people attend a session together?
Ontario Autism Program (OAP) Funding
Psychotherapy services provided by a Registered Psychotherapist may be eligible for reimbursement through the Ontario Autism Program (OAP). Families are responsible for managing their OAP funds and submitting claims directly to the program. Eligibility and reimbursement depend on OAP guidelines and individual funding arrangements. We recommend confirming coverage details with your OAP coordinator.

At this time, Healing Notes Therapy does not offer direct billing. As Registered Psychotherapists, our services are provided under a pay-and-submit billing structure. This means payment is made at the time of your session, and you may then submit your receipt to your insurance provider for coverage, based on your individual benefits plan.
After each appointment, you will receive a detailed receipt that includes all required information, such as the therapist’s name, professional designation (Registered Psychotherapist), registration number, service date, and fee. Most major insurance providers accept these receipts, and claims are typically processed within 2–5 business days after submission, depending on your insurance company. We encourage you to confirm specific timelines and coverage details directly with your insurer.
-
For families without insurance coverage, or for those who have reached the limit of their insurance benefits, we offer a limited number of sliding-scale spots for individual psychotherapy sessions, caregivers coaching and psychotherapy sessions and family therapy sessions. However, we do NOT provide sliding scales for single session therapy service. Availability is assessed on a case-by-case basis, and proof of income may be required.
-
The OAP funding covers most services provided to the child at Healing Notes Therapy, including individual psychotherapy sessions, caregivers coaching and psychotherapy sessions, and family psychotherapy sessions.
