How Much Will It Cost?

Put simply, when it comes to mental health services... time is money. That is why most mental health service providers charge based on how much time you need from them (i.e., their hourly rate).

In addition, usually more training + more education = higher hourly rate.

Mental health professionals with more formal education, like psychologists, tend to have higher hourly rates. Whereas mental health professionals with less formal education, like psychotherapists, tend to have lower hourly rates.

Costs at Sankofa Wellness

All the services at Sankofa Wellness are provided by Dr. Renée Taylor (a psychologist).

Many psychologists in Ontario have hourly rates ranging from about $200 to $300 per hour.

For now, Dr. Taylor's hourly rate is $265 for individuals and $280 for couples. If you have extended health insurance coverage from work or school, then all or some of the cost can be covered by your insurance provider. And we offer direct billing.

When considering what to spend your money on, you need to consider the following:

Do I have the money to spend on this? / Can I truly afford this? (For help with answering this question, click here)
Is this worth it to me?
What do I stand to gain from investing in this?
What do I stand to lose by not investing in this?

If you have the money and/or insurance coverage and if reaching your goals are worth the investment, then reach out to us and we can tell you how we plan to get you where you want to be.
