Fees & Communication with Matthew Brown, MSW RSW

I offer a FREE 15-minute phone consultation to facilitate effective communication, ensuring that I am the right fit for your counselling needs. This initial call allows you to ask questions and understand my approach before making a decision. 

My session rates for individual therapy are $150 for a 60-minute session. As a Registered Social Worker, I do not collect HST for my services.

For payment of therapy fees, I accept cash or e-transfer at mb-therapy@outlook.com, along with Visa, Mastercard, AMEX, and Interac. Payment is required at the end of each session, and I will provide a receipt that can often be submitted for reimbursement through various extended health plans. Please verify with your provider to confirm that Registered Social Workers are covered. 

I offer both in-person and virtual sessions for your convenience.

Additionally, post-secondary students may have coverage for sessions through their educational institution's extended health plan.

I will use the phone or electronic communications for appointment scheduling and for providing information and referrals to resources discussed in our therapy sessions only. I will do my best to return phone calls and electronic communications within 1-2 business days during my regular business hours. Please let me know if I have your permission to leave a voice mail and ensure that your contact information is up to date, which is essential for effective communication.

If you are concerned about session rates or therapy fees, feel free to discuss these topics during our sessions. Additionally, if you are experiencing a mental health crisis and need immediate assistance, please call 911 or attend your nearest emergency room or urgent care centre.
