Insurance Coverage
Counselling programs are often funded directly by the insurance providers. For specific number of funded sessions or your coverage, please contact me for details.
ICBC Claims (Motor Vehicle Accident Injury Claims Services)
If you have a claim from motor vehicle accident injury, ICBC provides counselling services under its funding/services plan. On or after April 1, 2019, you do not need a physician’s referral or lawyer if you have a claim number and seek counselling help within the 12 weeks of the date of the accident. Your counselling services are free for the first 12 sessions and would be extended for further sessions after that. Please ask me for further details.

Extended Health Care (private insurance and employment assistance program)
If you have a private insurance provider (such as Blue Cross, Sun Life, Manulife etc), or extended health care program through your employment, counselling services are most likely covered under the program. The exact coverage & duration depend on your insurance policy. Please check with your insurance provider. Let me know if you need help with this program; I can assist you further.
