At Balance Psychological Services, we believe mental health support should be accessible to everyone. That's why several members of our team offer sliding scale rates for therapy sessions.

What is a sliding scale?

A sliding scale is a flexible payment system where therapy fees are adjusted based on your income and ability to pay. With our sliding scale approach, session rates can be reduced based on your financial situation to ensure quality mental health care remains accessible.

How does it work?

- Your specific rate is determined based on factors like your annual income and family size
- Our team will work with you to find a rate that fits your budget
- The exact fee is discussed during your initial consultation

Why we offer this option:

- Makes therapy more accessible for those on a limited budget
- Provides quality care at reduced rates
- Supports our commitment to community mental health

Interested in learning more about sliding scale sessions?

Contact our admin team today to discuss how we can make therapy work for your budget.

Today, on Remembrance Day, we pause to honor those who made the ultimate sacrifice in service to our country.

For first responders, this day often carries an added layer of meaning, a reminder of the courage, commitment, and resilience it takes to serve and protect.

It’s also a day to acknowledge the emotional toll that this dedication can bring. Remember, it’s okay to feel the weight of this day, to pause, and to reach out for support if needed.

To all who have served and continue to serve, we see you, we honour you, and we are here for you.

Lest we forget.
