Therapy in Abbotsford typically costs between $100 and $250 CAD per session. Fees vary depending on the therapist's designation, years of experience, and specialization. Each therapist's First Session profile clearly lists their session rates, so you'll know the cost before booking.

Many extended health plans cover therapy, but requirements vary by insurer and plan. Before booking, check which credentials your plan reimburses (such as Registered Clinical Counsellor, Registered Social Worker, or Canadian Certified Counsellor), as well as any annual maximums or referral requirements. Each First Session profile includes the therapist's designation under Insurance Coverage to make this easier.

RCC (Registered Clinical Counsellor) is a counselling-specific designation regulated by the BC Association of Clinical Counsellors, while RSW (Registered Social Worker) is regulated by the BC College of Social Workers and reflects social work training, which often includes a systems and community lens alongside individual therapy.
