Insurance and Benefits

Using Your Insurance for Therapy

Many extended health plans in Ontario cover therapy with a Registered Psychotherapist. We don't direct bill. You pay at each session, we send a receipt, and you submit it to your insurer for reimbursement.

How it works

  1. Check your coverage before your first session (questions below).

  2. Pay at your session by [PAYMENT METHODS]. Your card is charged [after each session / at booking].

  3. Get your receipt by email the same day.

  4. Submit it through your insurer's app or website. Most plans reimburse within a few business days.

What your receipt includes

  • Is there a per-session cap or a percentage covered?

  • Do I need a doctor's referral to claim?

  • Are virtual sessions covered the same as in person?
