Contact and Booking

My email is not monitored 24/7.

If you need emergency crisis support, please contact your local crisis line (or dial 9-8-8 for nationwide suicide and crisis helpline), go to your nearest hospital, or call 9-1-1 for emergency services. More crisis services are listed on my Resources page.

​Book A Session

I am not accepting new clients at this time.

To join my waitlist, please send me an email at Sam@SummitCS.ca.

Existing clients can view my schedule and book online on the Summit Counselling website.

​FEES

I offer three rates:

Regular Rate: $235/hour long session

This is the recommended rate by the Psychologist’s Association of Alberta. My services are covered by most insurance plans – check your benefits plan for coverage for sessions provided by a Registered Psychologist. Please note that Summit Counselling does not direct bill to most insurance providers (except Alberta Blue Cross), and most clients must submit a claim for reimbursement to their providers. As well, many insurance plans cover the majority, but not all, of the cost of each counselling session for a limited number of sessions.

Reduced Rate: $185/hour long session

If you do not have insurance coverage and cost is a barrier for accessing counselling, I also offer a reduced rate. Please let me know if you need this rate.

NIHB Rate: $187/hour long session

For First Nations and Inuit clients with Non-Insured Health Benefit (NIHB) Program coverage, I charge the rate fully covered by NIHB. Summit Counselling offers direct billing to NIHB, so clients are not charged at all for NIHB-covered sessions.

If these fees are prohibitive, please check out my Resources page for affordable counselling options with other providers. I do also provide pro bono counselling by agency referral; however, my pro bono slots are filled for the foreseeable future and I do not keep a waitlist.
