Many extended health insurance plans cover sessions with a Registered Psychotherapist. You may have coverage through your employer, your partner's plan, a parent's plan (if you qualify as a dependent), personal insurance, a college or university student health plan or another source.

Before your first appointment, ask your insurer:

  • Does my plan cover services provided by a Registered Psychotherapist?

  • How much or what percentage is reimbursed per session?

  • What is my annual coverage limit, and how much remains available?

  • When does my annual coverage reset?

  • Is direct billing available under my plan?

Knowing these details can help you plan your appointments and understand any costs you will need to pay yourself.

Our private psychotherapy services are not covered by the Ontario Health Insurance Plan (OHIP), Ontario's publicly funded health insurance program.

Depending on your eligibility, coverage may be available through the following programs and benefits:

Our therapists are registered providers with these programs. Each program has different rules about who qualifies, how much it pays and whether approval is needed before sessions begin. Depending on your coverage, you may need to pay part of the session fee yourself.

Please contact us before your first appointment so we can discuss the program you plan to use and any arrangements needed.

Coverage varies by insurance plan, so we recommend checking your psychotherapy benefits with your provider. If direct billing is not available, we will provide a receipt for you to submit for reimbursement.
