BioEquity Expands Access to Mental Health Care With Affirm Financing for Assessments and Therapy

At BioEquity, we believe that cost should not be the reason someone has to delay getting mental health support, diagnostic clarity, or treatment for themselves or a loved one.

Across Ontario, many individuals and families are trying to access psychological assessments, therapy, and ongoing mental health care, but the upfront cost can make it difficult to move forward. Psychological assessments often cost between $2,000 and $4,000, which is a significant expense for the average Canadian family.

For many people, this creates a painful situation: they know an assessment or therapy could help, but the financial barrier feels too large to manage all at once.

That is why we are proud to announce that clients can now pay with Affirm and finance psychological assessments, therapy, and session packages over 6 to 36 months, starting at 0% interest, through our two mental health network clinics:

• Transformation Counselling in Kitchener-Waterloo, Ontario
• Sherry Maxwell & Associates in Cambridge, Ontario

This partnership is part of our ongoing commitment to making high-quality mental health care, psychological assessment, and diagnostic support more accessible and affordable across Ontario.

Making Psychological Assessments More Affordable

Psychological assessments can be life-changing for individuals and families seeking answers.

They can help identify concerns related to ADHD, autism, learning disabilities, anxiety, depression, trauma, school challenges, workplace accommodations, and other mental health or diagnostic questions. For children, assessments can help parents better understand their child’s learning, emotional, behavioural, or developmental needs. For adults, they can provide clarity, validation, and a clearer path toward treatment and support.

However, the cost of a psychological assessment can be overwhelming.

When an assessment costs $2,000 to $4,000, many families are forced to delay care, save for months, or put off getting answers altogether. Unfortunately, delaying assessment can also delay school supports, workplace accommodations, treatment planning, therapy recommendations, and medication discussions.

By partnering with Affirm, our goal is to help remove finances as a barrier to quality psychological assessment.

With Affirm, eligible clients may be able to break the cost of a psychological assessment into monthly payments, with payments as low as approximately $200 per month, depending on the assessment cost, payment term, and approval.

Financing Now Available for Therapy and Session Packages

In addition to psychological assessments, Affirm financing is also available for therapy and session packages at Transformation Counselling and Sherry Maxwell & Associates.

This means clients may be able to finance:

• Psychological assessments
• Psychoeducational assessments
• ADHD assessments
• Autism-related assessments
• Therapy sessions
• Counselling services
• Prepaid therapy session packages
• Ongoing mental health treatment

For clients who know they want to commit to ongoing therapy, session packages can be a helpful way to plan care in advance. With Affirm financing, clients may be able to spread payments over time instead of paying the full amount upfront.

This can make therapy more manageable for individuals, couples, families, and parents who want consistent support but need more flexible payment options.

Why We Partnered With Affirm

BioEquity chose to partner with Affirm because we believe access to mental health care should be based on need — not only on someone’s ability to pay thousands of dollars upfront.

Mental health challenges, learning concerns, ADHD, autism, trauma, depression, anxiety, and family stress do not wait until finances are perfect. People often need support at the exact moment when life already feels overwhelming.

By offering financing through Affirm, our network clinics can provide clients with more flexible options to access care sooner.

Our hope is that this gives individuals and families more breathing room, more choice, and a clearer path toward getting the support they need.

Reducing Financial Barriers to Mental Health Care

We understand that starting therapy or booking a psychological assessment is a big decision.

For many clients and families, the emotional weight of needing support is already heavy. The financial pressure should not make that decision even harder.

By offering Affirm financing, BioEquity, Transformation Counselling, and Sherry Maxwell & Associates are working to make mental health services more accessible, more flexible, and more manageable for people across Ontario.

Whether you are seeking diagnostic clarity, support for your child, help with ADHD or autism-related questions, therapy for anxiety or depression, or a long-term treatment plan, financing may help you begin sooner.

Take the Next Step

If you or someone you care about needs a psychological assessment, therapy, or ongoing mental health support, you do not have to let the full upfront cost stop you from exploring your options.

Clients can now ask about paying with Affirm and financing eligible services over 6 to 36 months, starting at 0% interest.
