Please speak with your prospective therapist directly about their sliding scale availability and what fee might work best based on your circumstances.
Billing & Insurance FAQ
Does OHIP cover psychotherapy?
No. OHIP does not cover psychotherapy provided by Registered Psychotherapists. Most clients use extended health insurance, employee benefits, or self-pay for services.
Do I need a referral to start therapy?
No referral is required to book a consultation or session with us.
Are services with a Registered Psychotherapist (RP) or RP (Qualifying) covered by my insurance?
Many extended health insurance plans do cover psychotherapy and mental health counselling services provided by a Registered Psychotherapist (RP) or RP (Qualifying), which are therapists practising under supervision. Because coverage varies, we recommend checking your specific plan details and asking your provider the following:
-
Does my plan cover psychotherapy with a Registered Psychotherapist?
-
Does it cover services with an RP (Qualifying) under supervision?
-
How much coverage do I have per year?
-
Do you require a doctor’s referral?
-
Is couples or relationship therapy covered under psychotherapy benefits?
Do you offer direct billing to insurance providers?
Yes! We offer direct billing for many extended health insurance plans. Eligibility depends on your specific insurer and the details of your coverage.
Are your psychotherapists registered with NIHB?
Many of our psychotherapists are registered providers with the Non-Insured Health Benefits program. Please check with your specific provider on their registration status.
The NIHB program provides coverage for professional mental health counselling for eligible clients. Every calendar year, an eligible client can receive up to 22 hours of counselling performed by an eligible provider on a fee-for-service basis, such as, individual or group counselling. Additional hours in the same calendar year may be provided on a case-by-case basis. For more information on specific benefit policies and requirements, refer to the NIHB Program for First Nations and Inuit: Mental Health Counselling Benefits Guide.
Are your psychotherapists registered with Métis Nation of Ontario?
The Mental Wellness Programs at the Métis Nation of Ontario (MNO) are committed to supporting the mental health and wellbeing of Métis citizens across Ontario. Samantha Pockele is an approved provider.
To access the program’s services or to get more information, contact the MNO at: 1-800-263-4889 Ext. 7 (toll-free) or MHA@metisnation.org.

Your therapist will also provide you with the Telus e-Claims Consent Form. Completing these forms will allow us to submit claims to your insurer on your behalf.
What information do I need to provide?
-
The name of your insurance provider
-
Your policy number and certificate/member ID
-
The name of the policyholder (if not you)
-
Any insurer-specific requirements for submitting claims
Is direct billing guaranteed? What happens if my insurance claim is denied?
While we will submit claims on your behalf, approval is determined entirely by your insurance provider. If a claim is declined, delayed, or only partially reimbursed, you are responsible for the session fee. Payment will be processed using the credit card on file.
Can I submit invoices to my insurance provider directly?
Yes! If you prefer to self-pay for services or your insurance provider does not support direct billing, fees are processed after each session with the payment method on your client account. You will receive a detailed e-receipt to submit to your insurance provider directly for reimbursement.
What if I have multiple insurance plans?
At this time, we can only submit to one plan per session. If you are covered under more than one plan, you must submit claims in the order required by your insurers (e.g., primary plan first).
What if my insurer needs additional information?
If your provider requests clarification for services provided, please let us know and we will provide you with this information to submit to your insurer.
