The University of Victoria Psychology Clinic charges reduced fees for services as we operate as the training clinic within the Clinical Psychology Graduate Training Program. In exchange for a reduced fee, clients are provided psychological services by graduate student clinicians who are under the direct supervision of a Registered Psychologist in good standing with the College of Health and Care Professionals of BC (CHCPBC).
Our standard fees:
** Note: Please note that effective November 1st, 2024, our fees have increased in order to continue providing high-quality services.**
- Psychotherapy: $125/session
- Psychoeducational assessment: $2500
- Neuropsychological assessment: $3500
- Specialized assessment: varies based on the type of assessment
For clients unable to pay the standard fee, our services can be provided on a sliding scale , and is confirmed when booking the intake session.
How can I pay the fee for therapy or assessment?
Fees are payable by cash or cheque (preferred), and if necessary by credit card (Visa, Mastercard, AMEX). If paying by credit card, advance notice (7 days) is needed to process the credit request and have a secure link sent via email. We are not able to accept e-transfer. Cheques can be made out to “Psychology Clinic, University of Victoria”. We do not accept post-dated cheques. Clients whose cheques are returned because of insufficient funds are charged an administrative fee of $25.00 for each returned cheque. Fees can be taken by the clinician or Clinic Secretary.
We are committed to providing accessible services and do not want cost to be a barrier. We will consider all requests for fee reductions based on financial need. Please speak to your clinician who will consult with the Clinic Director or Clinic Secretary.
- Therapy Services: Fees for therapy services are billed per session and it is expected that clients will pay their session fee prior to their appointment. We cannot accept pre-payment for sessions in the future.
- Assessment Services: Assessment fees may be paid all at once or in two installments. Clients requesting to pay by installments should discuss this with their clinician at the first session. The final assessment report will be released to you/the referral source upon receipt of full payment and when a feedback session has been conducted.
Do you take my insurance?
We do not have the ability to directly bill insurance companies and clients are responsible for looking into their own policies for coverage for psychological services.
