Private psychological services are not covered by Alberta Health Services. However, for many people the cost of accessing psychological services can be offset through employee benefits or additional insurance coverage. Direct Billing offered for Alberta Blue Cross. Payment can be made by cash, etransfer or credit card. At the end of each session, clients are issued a receipt for psychological counselling that may be used to obtain reimbursement from employee benefits or insurance company.
How many sessions you’ll need depends on the presenting concern, complexity, severity & duration, as well as your personal motivation for dealing with presenting concerns. For some presenting concerns, clients can experience improvement in a handful of sessions. Together, we can work together to estimate how many sessions you’ll require. However, ultimately, it’s your decision as to how many sessions you need, & clients are free to withdraw from services at any point.
