MSI, Health Insurance, Reimbursement

Private counselling therapy services are not yet covered under Nova Scotia’s MSI program. Many health insurance providers cover all or a portion of the costs for counselling therapy. Please check with your insurance company or employer an to see if your plan covers therapy with a “Registered Counselling Therapist.”

We can direct bill for clients who hold Blue Cross plans, as well health insurance plans that fall under Telus Health eClaims network of providers. Clients who do not have health insurance coverage, and those who carry insurance with providers other than Blue Cross, or Telus Health eClaims are provided a receipt upon payment. This receipt can be submitted for reimbursement.

We offer flexible hours. To accommodate our clients, we offer late afternoon, evening, and some weekend sessions. To learn more, or to book your first online or in-person counselling therapy session, please email or call.
