Many workplace benefit providers cover counseling and mental health services of a registered professional counsellor, such as Sun Life, Desjardins, Green Shields, and others. Check with your provider regarding what coverage you have under your plan. Counselling services can also be claimed as a medical expense with year end personal income tax in some provinces. At this time only psychiatrists are covered under the provincial Medical Services Plan in British Columbia.
Appointments are available weekdays, several evenings per week and several Saturdays per month. Please contact Yulande directly for more information on current appointment availability.
Insurance
Depending on your current health insurance provider or employee benefit plan, it is possible for services to be covered in full or in part. Please contact your provider to verify how your plan compensates you for psychotherapy services.
I’d recommend asking these questions to your insurance provider to help determine your benefits:
- Does my health insurance plan include mental health benefits?
- Do I have a deductible? If so, what is it and have I met it yet?
- Does my plan limit how many sessions per calendar year I can have? If so, what is the limit?
- Do I need written approval from my primary care physician in order for services to be covered?
Payment
I accept cash, e-transfer, cheque, and all major credit cards as forms of payment.
Cancellation Policy
If you are unable to attend a session, please make sure you cancel at least 24 hours beforehand. Otherwise, you may be charged for the full rate of the session.
