Coverage Options and Insurance Eligibility

Will My Counselling Sessions Be Covered by Insurance?

As a Counselling Therapist and Canadian Certified Counsellor, my services may be eligible for reimbursement through various private insurance plans across Alberta and Canada. However, coverage depends on your individual policy—including the provider and specific plan details.

To avoid unexpected costs, please check your benefits booklet or contact your insurance provider directly to confirm that services offered by a Counselling Therapist registered with ACTA (the Association of Counselling Therapy of Alberta) or Canadian Certified Counsellor are covered under your plan.

To access these sessions, a prior consultation is required before booking a reduced-rate appointment online. This allows us to connect and discuss your needs. Thank you for understanding.
