Scenario
InesSolo private practice, Oakville
You are a Registered Psychotherapist in solo practice in Oakville. Your fee schedule, given to every client, includes a sliding scale under a written policy.
Ines Kovač, 29, a doctoral student, is in her second session for anxiety and perfectionism; her student plan covers part of the cost. She asks: 'My friend's therapist discounts ten sessions paid up front. Could you? It would help me budget.'
