Insurance Coverage

I encourage you to verify with your insurance company, Employee Assistance Program (EAP), or post secondary benefit package to confirm if they cover services provided by a Registered Social Worker (RSW).

I do not bill insurance companies directly, but will provide you with a receipt that you can submit back to your insurance provider.
