* 4 weeks advanced notice - Annual inflation-based rate adjustment effective January 1, 2024*

Providing tax-free therapy to clients was always in our anticipation when Footprints Counselling was established. It is unfortunate that since the initial discussion, years have passed and Bill C-323 which supports exempting tax for mental health services is still in the hearing process.

It is with our sincere hope that Bill C-323 will be passed in the next hearing. Therefore, for this year, we have decided to retain the same policy to have tax included in our service charges, and the cost of tax until the Bill is passed will still be out of the therapist's pocket.

The minimum wage raise mandated by the government this year is approximately 7%. With the state of Bill C-323 lingering, unfortunately, we have to implement a raise in our rate an extra 2% on top of our usual inflation based raise.

The rate for our services will be adjusted as of January 1, 2024 as follows:

Per minute rate from $3.2 to $3.5 tax included
50 minutes Individual sessions from $160 to $175 tax included
75 minutes couple / dyadic sessions from $240 to $262.5 tax included
90 minutes family / 3+ persons sessions from $288 to $315 tax included

These adjustments will be reflected on receipts issued starting January 1, 2024.

Please reach out to your therapist if there are any concerns with this rate adjustment.

Thank you and take care.

Annual inflation-based rate adjustment effective January 1, 2023

For this year, we have decided to retain the same inflation-based rate increase as last year despite the higher inflation rate reflected on Statistics Canada's website in the last couple months.

Per minute rate from $3.0 to $3.2
50 minutes Individual sessions from $150 to $160 tax included
75 minutes couple / dyadic sessions from $225 to $240 tax included
90 minutes family / 3+ persons sessions from $270 to $288 tax included

These adjustments will be reflected on receipts being issued starting January 1, 2023.

Please reach out to your therapist if there are any concerns with this rate adjustment.

Trauma is the invisible force that shapes our lives. It shapes the way we live, the way we love and the way we make sense of the world. It is the root of our deepest wounds. Dr. Maté gives us a new vision: a trauma-informed society in which parents, teachers, physicians, policy-makers and legal personnel are not concerned with fixing behaviors, making diagnoses, suppressing symptoms and judging, but seek instead to understand the sources from which troubling behaviors and diseases spring in the wounded human soul.

Join the 7-Day World Premiere LIVE With Dr. Gabor Maté & Expert Guest Speakers between June 8-14 to develop a common understanding about how trauma impacts our individual lives, communities and society as a whole.
