Psychologists in private practice provide a fee-for-service model. Fees are often covered through private insurance plans and/or workplace EAP (Employee Assistance Program). APNL recommends a rate for private practice services based on a variety of factors, and changes to this rate take place every one to two years at the annual AGM in May. Changes to the recommended rate consider a variety of factors (e.g. psychologists rates across Canada, and the Consumer Price Index for NL), and will usually result in an increase in fees by $5-$15/hour of individual treatment.

As of the APNL AGM May 30 2025, the recommended fee is $235/hour for individual treatment provided by a Registered Psychologist. This was maintained at the APNL AGM on May 26, 2026. Please note that some Psychologists may charge higher or lower fees.

APNL also recommends a rate for doctoral student services for students in training to be Registered Psychologists. As of the APNL AGM on May 26, 2026, the recommended fee for doctoral students training to be Registered Psychologists is $160/hour of individual treatment. Some practices may charge higher or lower fees for these services.
