FAQ
A Registered Provisional Psychologist has completed the required graduate-level education and is registered with the College of Alberta Psychologists while completing supervised practice and remaining registration requirements. A Registered Psychologist has completed the requirements for independent registration.
Both are regulated psychology professionals and are expected to practise within their competence and applicable professional standards. Some insurance plans distinguish between professional designations, so we recommend confirming your individual coverage before booking.
Our standard fee is $235 for a 50-minute appointment.
An 80-minute appointment is $352.50 where available.
Fees may vary depending on the psychologist, service, and appointment length. Please visit our Fees & Insurance page for current information.
Direct billing may be available for some benefit plans and psychologists. Coverage varies by insurer, plan, and professional designation, and the availability of an insurer in our billing system does not guarantee that a claim can be submitted or paid directly. We recommend confirming your coverage with your insurer before your first appointment.
A referral is not required to book an appointment with Driven Psychology. Some extended health benefit plans may have their own reimbursement requirements, so please check with your insurer if you are unsure.
Your first appointment is an opportunity for you and your psychologist to begin getting acquainted, discuss what has brought you to therapy, and consider what support may be appropriate. You do not need to have everything figured out or know exactly what you want to talk about before you arrive. Visit What to Expect for more information.
