Each year we grant Top Non-Profit Badges to agencies based on these criteria:
- Consistently accepting clients
- Offering a wide range of services e.g. marriage counseling and child counseling as reported by our users.
- Our users reporting affordable services.
Our aim is to guide our users to agencies most likely to be able to help. In addition to the above criteria we also exercise editorial discretion with our choice based upon our experience. We take our responsibility and objectivity seriously. We don't accept any form of payment from providers for this honor.

McGill Psychoeducational & Counselling Clinic
The McGill Psychoeducational and Counselling Clinic is a teaching and training unit of the Department of Educational and Counselling Psychology in the Faculty of Education at McGill University.
Through its training activities, the clinic provides low cost psychological services to people seeking both counselling and psychoeducational assessments.
The purpose of the clinic is to provide an on-site setting for practicum training and research. The Clinic is used primarily by the Counselling Psychology and School/Applied Child Psychology programs. The Clinic is currently comprised of a number of private offices, a waiting room, and a trainee office.
Psychoeducational Assessments
The clinic offers comprehensive psychoeducational assessments to children and adolescents, ages 6-20. All assessment reports are written in English, however, depending on the educational needs of the client, some components of the assessment may be administered in French. Potential clients should make the Clinic Coordinator aware of this possibility when they make a request for service.
Counselling and Psychotherapy
The Clinic offers counselling and psychotherapy services to adults (18+) experiencing significant difficulties with social, vocational, or interpersonal matters.
Clients of the Clinic are charged fees for services rendered. A receipt will be provided for every payment. Given that the Psychoeducational and Counselling Clinic is a training facility, depending on each individual client's insurance plan, trainee services may or may not be considered an eligible insurance claim. Potential clients are encouraged to check with their insurance provider prior to the initial appointment. In cases that a client cannot afford to pay the assigned fees (see below for fee structure and payments) they may be eligible for the Clinic Fee Reduction/Fee Waiver policy. During the brief screening interview, trainees may provide more information regarding the Clinic's policy.

A community counseling agency is a group therapy practice that offers affordable mental health services. Most are independent non-profit agencies, state agencies, or publicly-funded agencies. A few may restrict who is eligible for services, so it is a good idea to check when you call.
Community counseling agencies are generally more affordable than other therapy providers, but how much more affordable they are will depend on whether you qualify for a discount or sliding scale fee (or if they accept your insurance). Many, but not all, have a policy that they won't turn away anyone due to inability to pay. You should ask about their fees when you first call.
Expect to talk to kind people who want to help you find the care you need. Most community agencies strive to connect you with a live person within 24 hours, if not immediately. If you're asked to hold or leave a message, don't give up; just leave a message and wait. You should hear back pretty quickly.
Most agencies try to set up an initial assessment appointment within a week (some do within 24 hours), though the waitlist to start therapy is usually longer—about a few weeks on average. If you're not eligible or if the agency is not right for you, it's usually still worth it to call or drop in, because staff are knowledgeable about local options and can often refer you to one.
