Updates on HST and Pricing (Effective: July 2, 2024)

Hello!

I’m writing to share some great news regarding the cost of your psychotherapy services. As of Monday this week, we’ve dropped the HST for all therapy sessions.

The 2023 Fall Economic Statement received royal assent last week and as of June 20, 2024, psychotherapy services are exempt from the HST. This exemption means that you’ll no longer pay HST on your therapy sessions, making therapy more affordable. This change reflects the recognition of the essential nature of mental health services and is a positive step towards making psychotherapy more accessible to all.

We also want you to know that we are taking this opportunity to implement a modest price increase, which will take effect Tuesday, July 2, 2024. (See pricing chart for details, page two, below.)

Even still, you’ll be pleased to see that your online sessions will be noticeably cheaper than before and your in-person sessions will be slightly cheaper than before.

As always, we continue to offer sliding scale services provided by our student therapists so that no one in our community will go without mental health services due to financial challenges. 

If you have any questions, please connect with us by emailing info@upstreamcounselling.com or calling us at 226-535-5200.

And if it’s time to get some support, you can book your next session by calling us, emailing us or booking online directly: https://upstreamcounselling.janeapp.com/#/list

Warmly, 

Brad Wilton MA RP
