Insurance and Extended Health Coverage
Many extended health insurance plans cover counselling services provided by Registered Social Workers (RSW) or Registered Clinical Counsellors (RCC). Because I hold both designations, there is a good chance that your plan will cover some or all of your sessions. Please check with your HR department or extended health carrier to confirm your coverage.

Important: Payment is due at the time of your session. You will receive an official receipt, which you can submit to your insurance provider for reimbursement.
