Fees & Funding

We want therapy to be as accessible as possible.
Here’s everything you need to know about how to pay - and how to get funded.

💳 How to Pay
💳

Credit Card & E-Transfer

We accept online payments by credit card or e-transfer — quick, secure, and easy. Payment is due at the time of your session.

Receipts are provided for every session with our COTBC registration number, ready for insurance claims.

Direct Billing Available

We offer direct billing (no upfront cost to you) for the following funding programs:

🍁 AFU 👶 At-Home Program 🌟 Variety 📻 CKNW 🎓 School Funding

Extended Health Benefits

Most employer benefits plans cover OT — typically $500–$2,000/year. Pay at the time of your session, and we'll give you a detailed receipt to submit to your insurer for reimbursement.

Check your plan before your first visit — your HR department or benefits provider can confirm your OT coverage.

🗓️

Our Cancellation Policy

We kindly ask for at least 24 hours' notice if you need to cancel or reschedule a session. This allows us to offer your spot to another family on the waitlist and ensures your clinician has adequate time for treatment planning — which happens well before you arrive.

Sessions cancelled with less than 24 hours' notice will be billed for the full session duration. We truly appreciate your understanding — it helps us keep delivering the best care for every family we serve.

We know life with kids is wonderfully unpredictable! If a special circumstance arises, please reach out and we'll always do our best to work with you. 💗
