Before you choose an appointment.
Know who you’re seeing
Read your provider’s background, approach and experience. Counselling, parenting support, tutoring and executive functioning are different services.
Know the appointment details
Fees, session length, who should attend and the exact office address need to be confirmed before you commit to an appointment.
Know what comes next
The first appointment is a chance to discuss your concerns, ask questions and explore suitable next steps with your provider.
BEFORE YOU BOOK
A few things parents often ask.
Do I need a consultation first?
You can explore services and choose a preferred provider here without a consultation. Online appointment booking will open once live scheduling is connected. If you have a question about fit, contact intake by email.
How much will my appointment cost?
Our prices vary by service and are competitive with current market rates. We offer sliding-scale pricing for qualified families.
Will my insurance cover the appointment?
Most insurance plans accept our counselling services. Coverage depends on your individual plan, the service and your provider’s professional designation. Please confirm coverage with your insurer before booking. Tutoring and executive functioning coaching may have different coverage from counselling.
Should my child attend the first appointment?
Every provider approaches the first appointment differently. Some counsellors spend the first 45 minutes with the parent or caregiver and invite the child to join for the final 15 minutes. This is not a standard arrangement for every provider. Your counsellor will confirm who should attend and how the first session will be structured.
Can we access virtual support anywhere in Canada?
Yes. Positive Kids has virtual providers across Canada. You do not need to live near one of our offices to access virtual support, whether you are in a major city, a smaller community or another province. Tell us where you live so we can connect you with a provider who can serve clients in your province or territory.
Where can we attend in person?
In-person appointments are available only at our Ontario locations in Toronto, Mississauga, Scarborough, Vaughan / Woodbridge / Concord, Cambridge and Etobicoke. Vaughan, Woodbridge and Concord refer to the same office area. Use the filters to see providers at each location, and confirm the exact address before travelling.
Can I request a counsellor who speaks my preferred language?
Yes. Choose your preferred language in the filters or in “Help me choose.” The list includes English, French and other languages commonly spoken in Canada. A language appearing in the menu does not mean every provider offers it. Matches are based on confirmed provider language details and public profiles, which may be incomplete. If no recorded match appears, intake can help confirm a provider and the language available for your session.
What if I’m unsure which provider to choose?
Email intake@positivekids.ca with your service and appointment preferences. Avoid sending detailed clinical history by email. Intake can help clarify your options; you can discuss your child’s needs in detail through the appropriate intake process.
How do cancellations work?
Please cancel at least 48 hours before your scheduled session. Cancellations made with less than 48 hours’ notice are charged the full session fee. Contact intake as soon as possible if you need to cancel or reschedule.
Have one question before choosing?
Our intake team can help with services, fees and the booking process.
