Insurance Coverage

Alberta Health Care doesn't take care of the counselling fees you receive at a therapist's office. However, your health insurance plan will might partially cover the cost of therapy. If that is the case, we can offer direct billing, depending on the insurance company. It would be best to speak directly to your health insurance provider to get a better idea of your coverage.
