Service Fees
Intake Package
Our intake consists of two sessions. The first session is in person with the child. The purpose of this session is to be introduced to the space, build rapport, and complete a clinical assessment. The Parent Consult is scheduled after the in-person session and is an opportunity for parent/guardian(s) and therapist to meet without the child present to discuss impressions from the assessment, review goals, and develop an agreed upon treatment plan.
In-person session with child - $175/50mins
Parent Consult (in-person, phone or virtual) - $90/30mins
*note this package does not include a formal report. If you would like a formal report summarizing the findings of the assessment and treatment recommendations there is an additional charge of $175.

Each child is different, and there is no magic number of sessions where we can guarantee your goals will be met. The timing, frequency and duration of sessions recommended for your child will be discussed during the parent consult portion of the intake.
It is typically recommended to book a block of 6-8 sessions (weekly or biweekly) for optimal goal attainment. Following the first block we recommend booking a parent session or using part of your child’s session to discuss progress on your child’s goals and re-establish how many sessions should be booked moving forward.
-
We try our best to provide some after school/weekend options as many families prefer these times. It is most likely that you will be offered a daytime slot to start with an option to move to an after school/weekend spot once one becomes available. Alternatively, you can be put on an after school/weekend waitlist.

OT services may be covered by personal healthcare insurance. It is the responsibility of the client/guardian to check with their insurance company to determine if “Occupational Therapy” is covered.
Receipts will be issued at the time of service delivery upon payment, and clients will submit them to their insurance provider.

No, you do not need a referral to initiate OT services! You can reach out directly. However, if another professional on your child’s “team” recommend OT we would love to collaborate.
