What to expect

Your first session is about understanding what brings you in and what you want to change. Together you set clear goals, and you leave with something practical to try. Sessions are usually 50 minutes, in person in Edmonton or by secure video anywhere in Alberta, BC and Ontario.

Questions

No. Goals are set with you.

Many extended health plans cover counselling with an RCSW or RSW, and direct billing is available for select insurers. NIHB (Alberta), FNHA (BC) and IFHP clients may be eligible for coverage. See fees and insurance.

No referral is needed. Some insurance plans ask for one before they reimburse, so check your plan.
