Billing & Session Information

​​​
Standard Counselling Session: 50 minutes


 
 

I provide direct billing to most insurance companies.
​
What extended health benefit providers cover varies depending on your policy and what your employer has chosen to cover within that policy.
​
I recommend that clients contact their insurance providers directly to find out if counselling with a Registered Counselling Therapist through the Nova Scotia College of Counselling Therapists is covered and to what extent.
​
Your benefits provider will most likely need to know the following information:
​
I hold a Master of Arts in Counselling Psychology.
I am a RCT with the NSCCT, and a C.C.C. (Canadian Certified Counsellor) and CCS (Canadian Certified Supervisor) with The Canadian Counselling Psychotherapy Association (CCPA).
​
Please check your coverage by asking the following questions:
​

• Does my plan provide out-of-network reimbursement for mental health?

• Is there a deductible I need to meet before you will start to reimburse me?

• How many sessions per year does my health insurance cover?

• What percentage of the fee do you cover?

Have more questions? Visit the FAQ page or for more details - or feel free to contact me.

I accept payment via e-transfer and credit card.
​
Sessions are pay as you go and there is no obligation to book more than one session at a time, though you are more than welcome to.
​
Payment is expected by the end of day if paying by e-transfer or online. I send clients receipts that include all the necessary information required to submit to your insurance provider if they cover Registered Counselling Therapists.

I currently offer virtual counselling sessions for Nova Scotia, Alberta, and British Columbia residents. I use a secure HIPAA platform to conduct these video sessions which you can access on your computer, tablet, or phone.

• I require at least 24 hours advanced notice or you will be required to pay 50% of the cost of the session.
