Most extended health insurance benefits plans do cover the cost of counselling, however individual insurance coverage may vary. It is always a good idea to check with your provider in advance to see if your counselling sessions are covered prior to booking a session. Not all insurers will cover the cost of working with an Intern Counsellor, but some will. Please check with your provider in advance.

Typically these insurers cover counselling sessions with Registered Clinical Counsellors (Sandy, Khushi, Spencer, and Esther) and Registered Therapeutic Counsellors (Nate):
