Rates & Payment:

Sessions are $130.00 an hour, this includes GST. I currently accept payment via cash, e-transfer, cheque and credit card. Most clients find e-transfer to be the most convenient form of payment. I send out receipts via email once payment has been received.

Insurance:

Please reach out to your insurance provider directly to inquire about whether they will cover sessions with me. Many insurance companies like Blue Cross, Manulife, Greenshield and Sunlife are beginning to cover mental health counselling. My credentials and certification information are as follows:

Melissa Mason M.Ed. C.C.C.

Certification #: 10005873

Cancellation Policy:

I observe a 24 hour cancellation policy. If you are unable to attend your session please let me know within 24 hours of your scheduled session time. Failure to do so will result in you being charged the full session fee.

First Session / What to Expect:

I have a few forms for us to go through and will likely send these to you ahead of time via email. You can either fill them out and send them back to me or bring them in to the session. In our first session I am most interested in just getting to know you and what brings you to therapy. You get to share as much as you feel comfortable sharing. It’s entirely natural and common to feel nervous. Deep breath. We’ll get through this together.

About the Office:

My office is located inside the Winnipeg Conservatory of Music building. The door to the wellness offices has a large red “C” on it and is located on the far east side of the building facing Portage Avenue. There is a large parking lot at the back of the building and a bus stop right out front.
