Paying for your care should be simple

We work with a wide range of insurance providers to make counselling more accessible. Many of our clients pay little or nothing per session, depending on their coverage.

We’ll guide you through the process

Navigating insurance can be confusing. We’re here to help you every step of the way.

Confirm your coverage

Log in to your insurance portal or review your benefits booklet. Look for line items under counselling, therapy, or designations such as RCC (Registered Clinical Counsellor) or MSW (Master of Social Work).

Provide documentation

We’ll prepare any forms for your provider.

Submit your claim

We will submit your claim on your behalf.
