FAQs

What is the cost per session?

Individual children's counselling sessions are $60 per 45min session, and parent sessions are $75 per 1 hour session. Workshop prices vary. Taxes included.

Why does Colour & Courage cost less than traditional therapy?

A Child and Youth Care Practitioner is able to work with children and families with emotional, social, and behavioural concerns that do not require treatment from a registered psychotherapist or psychiatrist. This allows for more affordable rates because these sessions are not a form of medical treatment recognized by extended health care benefits.

What are your credentials?

Emily holds an Advanced Diploma in Child and Youth Counselling from Mohawk College, with extensive training in Applied Suicide Intervention Skills Training (ASIST), anti-bullying, Acceptance Commitment Therapy (ACT), Applied Behavioural Analysis (ABA), Art Therapy, and various behaviour management certifications.
