Do you know how low-cost counselling works at Dóchas? Dóchas offers low-cost counselling with our Practicum Interns, and here’s a quick review of how it works!
What does this mean?
This means we have therapists-in-training who need experience, and who are observed and supported by a Registered Psychologist. These therapists-in-training are in the last phase of their degree; which means they’ve completed all the educational work they just need the practice under the supervision of a Registered Psychologist before they can graduate.
How does it work?
Low-cost counselling is $25 per session, making therapy more accessible. If you’re interested, give the Dochas office a call at 780-446-0300 or email us at info@dochaspsych.com and let us know.
What offer low-cost counselling?
An important part of our mission at Dóchas is for all to feel accepted no matter the moment of life they find themselves in. We recognize the importance of being able to have access as part of feeling accepted. This is why our internship program was launched – so all have the opportunity to access quality mental health care.
Is the sliding scale available with other therapists at Dochas?
Not all therapists at Dochas offer sliding scale and this is determined on a case-by-case basis. Low-cost counselling is only available with supervised practicum students.
Here’s some more information about our current practicum students:
Our three current practicum students—Stacey, Vlady and Jacqueline—are finishing their Masters level work before becoming Registered Psychologists. You can find all about each of them by clicking on their names.
