I have insurance, will your counsellors be covered and do you direct bill?

Generally yes and yes. Each individual benefit plan differs based on what YOUR EMPLOYER chose for coverage. We are happy to direct bill for any insurer that allows for direct billing for our providers, however not every insurer have opened direct billing for mental health services.
