Provincial health employees (Interior Health) have benefits coverage through Pacific Blue Cross. This means nurses, doctors, and medical staff can access support. While we're not (yet) able to directly bill Pacific Blue Cross on your behalf, you can submit your receipt to your plan provider for reimbursement.

 

Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) members have mental health benefits through Veterans Affairs Canada (VAC) through Medavie Blue Cross. Get in touch to find out which of our therapists are registered with Medavie. RCMP members with CAF service may be eligible - contact VAC.

Direct Billing

When we can, we direct-bill your benefits provider. Sometimes insurance companies don't allow for direct billing and we might not know until we try to submit a claim on your behalf. We ask that clients be prepared to pay for sessions at the time of the appointment, just in case.
