“I wish I’d known about this platform sooner! I loved the introductory videos–this is what helped me choose the therapist to book an intro consultation with.”

Helping Every Therapy Seeker Find the Right Fit

Compatibility is the most important factor when choosing a therapist. But finding the right fit isn’t easy. First Session takes the time, guesswork, and emotional labour out of that process.

  • Search a curated therapist network

    Narrow your search to a list of rigorously vetted therapists you’ll actually consider booking. Because finding a therapist shouldn’t involve reading endless generic bios.

  • Assess for fit before you commit

    Decide if a therapist is the right fit for you before booking with interview videos and in-depth bios. No more switching or re-telling your private feelings and story

  • Book directly (and instantly)

    Schedule an available session or free consultation right from the First Session platform. No 3rd party intake calls or back and forth emailing required.

Free yourself from the stress of endless searching and switching

Convenience-first approach to finding a Blue Cross

  • Burnout from endless search results and unhelpful Blue Cross profiles.
  • Disappointment and frustration from generic intake calls and unproductive ‘free’ consultations.
  • Emotional stress from repeatedly revealing private thoughts and feelings to incompatible Blue Crosss
  • Stalled mental health progress because of limited availability, timezone differences, or constantly switching providers
  • Risk of abandoning therapy process altogether because of frustration, exhaustion, or depression

Connection-first approach to finding a Blue Cross with First Session

  • Instantly create a short-list of Blue Crosss qualified to support your journey
  • Get to know a Blue Cross’s personality, approach, and experience before booking
  • Share your private history, thoughts, and feelings only if there’s a connection
  • Save time and minimize stress by finding the right fit without endless switching
  • Make meaningful progress sooner and commit to lasting, meaningful change

Frequently Asked Questions

Does Blue Cross cover online therapy sessions in Winnipeg?

Many Blue Cross plans have extended coverage to online therapy sessions since 2020. However, coverage varies by plan. Confirm with your plan provider whether online sessions are covered and whether out-of-province practitioners are eligible.

Can I submit receipts from First Session therapists to Blue Cross?

Yes. All First Session therapists provide official receipts that you can submit to your insurance provider for reimbursement. The receipt will include the therapist's name, designation, session date, and amount paid.

What if my Blue Cross plan doesn't cover my preferred therapist's designation?

You can still book and pay out of pocket. Session rates on First Session range from approximately $100-$250 per session. Some therapists also offer sliding-scale fees. Alternatively, filter your search by a designation your plan does cover.

Does Blue Cross in Manitoba cover the same therapists as Blue Cross in Ontario?

Not necessarily. Blue Cross is a network of regional organizations, not a single national insurer. Manitoba Blue Cross plans differ from Ontario Blue Cross plans, including which designations they cover. Always check your specific regional plan.

How do I find a First Session therapist covered by my Blue Cross plan?

Browse therapist profiles and check the Insurance Coverage section on each profile. Match the listed designation to your plan's eligible designations. If you're unsure, book a free 15-minute consultation and ask the therapist directly which designation they hold.
