Fees and costs to see a psychologist in halifax
People often ask if it is free to see a Psychologist in Nova Scotia.
Unfortunately, unlike visiting your family doctor which is covered by the universal health plan that all Nova Scotians carry, there is a fee to see any private practice Psychologist in Nova Scotia. In this sense, it is more like going to see a dentist than a physician.
At Green Leaf Psychological, I follow the fee guidelines recommended by The Association of Psychologists of Nova Scotia - currently $190 per clinical hour. The fee for couples counselling is $200.
I accept cash, credit, and debit as payment forms and can issue an invoice for payment at a later date if necessary.
If you have private insurance (Blue Cross, Great West Life, Sunlife, etc.) most policies also include coverage for Psychologists - sometimes reimbursing you for the entire fee. You may also have coverage for mental health services through your work or school, so it is always a good idea to check the details for your particular policy.
Of note, all of the major universities around Halifax include coverage to see a Psychologist in their health plans, so if you are a student, the fee to work with me may be entirely covered by your school!
