INTEGRATED care
Affordable Therapy and Counselling in Guelph
Therapy needs to be accessible.
Here's how we make that possible.
One of the most common reasons people delay getting support is not because they aren't ready for it, but because it financially feels out of reach. If that's your reality right now, I want you to know there are options available for you. Support options that are not limited to a number of sessions and you will never be asked to demonstrate financial need. All you have to do is ask if a reduced rate client spot is available, and if it is, it's yours for as long as you need it!
"I offer a limited number of sliding scale spots to clients. If cost is a barrier to care, this is something that we can work through together. There are so many factors that can interfere with clients getting support and I want to provide options so that finances are not one of them. To the best of my ability, I want to ensure you get support.
If that's not with me, I will point you in the direction of someone you can!"
— Naomi Law, RP(Q), RHN
Through Niilo Wellness, where all of my services are offered, a range of affordable therapy options are available for individuals and couples in Guelph and across Ontario:
-
SLIDING SCALE THERAPY
Most Niilo therapists, including myself, reserve a limited portion of their schedules for sliding scale sessions. This simply means that the session rate is based on what you're genuinely able to pay.
You won't be asked to prove financial need.
We trust that when your situation changes, you'll let us know so that spot can help someone else.
-
LOW COST THERAPY WITH SUPERVISED STUDENT THERAPISTS
Niilo's psychotherapy interns are graduate students completing their clinical training under the close supervision of experienced Registered Psychotherapist Clinical Supervisors. Sessions start at $80 and can be further reduced, all the way to include free sessions, for those who otherwise would not be able to seek therapy support.
Working with a Student Therapist at Niilo means you're receiving care that is based on current research and educational standards a Student therapist brings combined with the seasoned professional standards and wealth of experience a Clinical Supervisor offers the student.
The reduced rate for student therapists allows for clients to seize the opportunity to work with a therapist at a much lower cost and allows for the Student therapist to obtain the necessary hours of clinical experience required to complete their Masters in Counselling program. Some Student therapists also offer sliding scale or cheap therapy options for couples and for children as young as 12.
-
ACCESSIBLE ONLINE THERAPY
At Niilo Wellness, psychotherapy and couples therapy services are available virtually across Ontario, which removes the added costs of travel, (even though we have free onsite parking), and time away from work that in-person sessions can carry.
While a growing number of practitioners and clients are preferring to have sessions in-person, Niilo Wellness has online options available for those who otherwise would not be able to come in person.
-
EXTENDED HEALTH BENEFITS
Most extended health benefit plans include coverage for psychotherapy with a Registered Psychotherapist (RP or RP-Qualifying). Since Student Therapists are directly supervised by RP Clinical Supervisors, it is the RP that is clinically responsible for the client and therefore services provided by a Student Therapist may also be reimbursable by your health benefit plan.
If your plan includes coverage for Registered Psychotherapist (RP or RP-Qualifying), sessions with me may be partially or fully covered. I encourage you to check into your specific plan as coverage limits, eligible designations, and reimbursement processes vary by provider.
How to access reduced rates for therapy and counselling sessions:
To use a sliding scale or reduced rate session at Niilo Wellness, the first step is just reaching out to ask if a spot is available!
-
If you know you want to work with a Student Therapist, simply select the type of session (in-person, online or couples) under Reduced Rates with Niilo Student Therapists, select the time that best suits your schedule, and include your requested rate in the booking notes when you book. Niilo's admin team will follow up to confirm. No proof of income required, just book a session!
-
If you want to work with a Niilo Affiliate Therapist at a reduced rate, as these spots are limited the easiest step is to Email info@niilowellness.ca to inquire if a sliding scale client spot is available with the therapist you are interested in working with.
