I am a Registered Clinical Counsellor with the BC Association of Clinical Counsellors and a Certified Canadian Counsellor through the Canadian Counselling and Psychotherapy Association. My counselling and coaching services are not covered by the B.C. Medical Services Plan.

However, if you are covered by your own, your spouse’s, or a parent’s extended health plan, you may be able to claim for my counselling services. Some, but not all, extended health benefits plans and other insurance plans will cover counselling services from a registered or certified counsellor.

If you would like to see me AND it is critical to your financial situation that you are covered by extended health, please check the fine print on your benefit plan to make sure that it covers "Registered Clinical Counsellors" before making an appointment.

 

Payment Methods:
