Location & Fees

Hours

I work Mondays to Thursdays from 3:30 P.M. to 10:00 P.M.  It is necessary to arrange an appointment in advance.

Location

I am located in the Upper Beaches area of Toronto, near Kingston Road and Main Street. It is easily accessible by public transit, as well as easy to access by car from Lakeshore Boulevard or the Danforth.  Detailed directions will be forwarded to you after you have booked your appointment.

Insurance Coverage

If your company insurance plan covers services provided by a Registered Psychologist you are eligible (subject to the terms of your insurance policy) to have your fees reimbursed.  I am able to do this under the auspices of Dalton Associates, a province-wide network of psychotherapists.  For more information, or to register as a client, please go to http//:www.drdandalton.com or call 1-888-245-5516.  If you decide to register, ask to see "Carolyn Dallman Downes" and they will contact me to set up your first appointment.

If you do not have coverage through your work, or if you have exhausted your insurance benefits, you will become a regular fee-paying client.  My services are not covered under OHIP.  I try to keep my fees at the lower end of the scale designated by my professional organization.  I do offer a sliding scale to those who are in need, but as you can imagine, I can only offer this to a limited number of people.  Nonetheless, it never hurts to ask to ask if there is a position available. 

As of July 1st, 2010, my fees are subject to HST.  In the past, I covered the cost of the GST on behalf of my clients, but I could no longer do that when the tax rose to 13%.  So, as of July 1st, I am asking my clients to pay an additional ten dollars to help cover this cost.  This is less than the full cost of the HST so it means I still continue to cover the remainder of this tax on your behalf. Those who are on sliding-scale can negotiate an amount appropriate to their reduced fee.

Free Consultation

If you would like more information, just give me a call @ 416-363-0065 and we can talk in person.  If you decide you would like to meet me, you may request a free, twenty-minute free consultation.  This gives you a chance to meet me in person and see if we can work together.  If you decide to leave at this point, you may do so without obligation.
