Many employer/group benefits and extended insurance plans therapy, but there are some important factors to consider. Your coverage will generally depend on the designation or license of each professional (ex. Registered Social Worker, Registered Clinical Counsellor).
Make sure to check each Counsellor's profile page, under Insurance Coverage, to see what designations/coverage they fall under.
If you're unsure about coverage, read our full guide on how to find a therapist covered by insurance in Canada.
At First Session, we believe finding the right fit in a Counsellor is the most important factor to feeling better and having a successful outcome from therapy.
Numerous research studies have proven that forming a strong client-Counsellor relationship is more important than the type of therapy used.
To help you assess fit, every Counsellor listed on First Session has a short introductory video you can watch to get a sense for who they are.
We've also put together a thorough guide to help you find the right Counsellor, determine what the different designations mean, and what you should be looking for when assessing fit. Find the guide here.
Currently there are no in-person Counsellors available in .
However, it’s important to note that whether you pursue online or in-person therapy, the single most important factor is fit and long-term consistency.
Absolutely. We understand that one’s cultural background, age, sexuality, or gender identity can bring unique elements to the process of therapy.
To support every therapy seeker, we actively work to build a highly diverse and inclusive roster of therapists.
For questions or feedback on how we can improve these element of the process, send us a message.
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 Counsellor network
Narrow your search to a list of rigorously vetted Counsellors you’ll actually consider booking. Because finding a Counsellor shouldn’t involve reading endless generic bios.
Assess for fit before you commit
Decide if a Counsellor 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
Filter by specialty in British Columbia.
