Service Costs

For Private Practice Clients

InTandem Music Therapy believes in fee transparency. By listing fees outright, we aim to demystify the general costs associated with music therapy. Below is a table of the service costs. All costs have been considered using guidelines provided by the Music Therapy Association of BC, which can be found by clicking here. My rate when working at other clinics, such as Cherish Clinic in Burnaby will be higher due to administrative costs and use-of-space. Additionally, if clients move from one clinic to another, the initial agreed-upon rate will be honoured and transfer over. Please note that service costs are subject to change at a reasonable rate. For questions about funding, you can click here. If you need services and are not able to pay the standard rates listed above, please contact us to discuss sliding scale options! Micaela leaves space in her practice for sliding scale rates in efforts to make sessions more accessible to clients.
