Fees
When seeking out a mental health therapist, it is important to know exactly what you are paying for. While the industry standard for a "therapeutic hour" is typically only 50 minutes, Breathe Counselling provides a full 60-minute hour.
We believe that the extra time allows for deeper work and a more settled, un-rushed environment, ensuring you get the most out of every session.
Our rates are aligned with the recommended fee guidelines for Senior Clinical Social Workers in Alberta.

Direct Billing & Insurance
To make your care as accessible as possible, we offer direct billing to most major insurance providers.
Services provided by a Registered Clinical Social Worker (MSW, RSW) are covered by the majority of workplace benefit packages and health insurance plans (e.g., Alberta Blue Cross, Sun Life, Canada Life, Green Shield).
Please check with your provider to confirm your specific coverage details. If direct billing is not available for your specific plan, you will receive a receipt immediately to submit for reimbursement.
Tax Deduction Note: Counselling services provided by an RSW are authorized as "medical practitioners" by the CRA and can be claimed as a medical expense on your income tax return.
