OUR FEES

  - On occasion, a client requests to talk to both Sandy and Gerry at the same time. The cost for a session like this is $150 for 55-60 minutes.
  - Payments are made by credit card.

Does insurance cover the cost?

Check your insurance plan to see if you have coverage for counselling. Gerry is not a registered psychologist or social worker. He has a master’s degree in counselling, a certification for sexual recovery therapy and a membership with the Professional Association of Christian Counsellors and Psychotherapists (Certification # 20150187). Some plans will cover these credentials and other plans do not. If your plan covers Gerry’s credentials, you pay him up front and then submit your receipts for reimbursement. Gerry does not do direct billing.

What is your cancellation policy?

24 hours notice is required if you want to cancel or reschedule your appointment. You are responsible for payment of the full fee for late cancellations, reschedules or missed appointments.

Do I have to be Christian to see Gerry?

Gerry is a Christian counsellor and comes from a Christian worldview regarding marriage and sexuality. However, those who are not Christians are accepted and treated with dignity and respect and will receive high-quality, professional counselling and psychotherapy.

Does telephone/Zoom video counselling work?

Yes! In fact, research indicates it is just as effective as in-person counselling. Phone/Zoom video counselling has many benefits such as saving commuting time, attaining counselling when you live in a remote area, getting the specialized help you need that may not be available in your area and calling from the comfort of your own home or business. Gerry no longer has an office for in person counselling. All sessions are online by video or phone.

I need help right now! What do I do while I am on the waiting list?

If you are open to doing group therapy, Gerry is currently accepting new people into the groups. You can join right away! For more information, please visit www.gerrypettyjohn.ca.
