Lower cost counselling and art therapy sessions in Vancouver
Lower cost sessions provide opportunities for the community without access to the necessary funds to give regular cost art therapy offerings a try and access the same level of support at a friendlier rate.
Our counselling art therapist intern, Nikki is taking on new clients!
We are offering a sliding scale of $40–$80 per session for counselling and art therapy sessions with Nikki. First intake session is free (50 minutes, no strings attached).
Choose the fee that works best for your financial situation within this range. Sliding scale options make therapy more accessible while allowing flexibility based on individual needs.
