Insurance
Canadian Certified Counsellors, (Richard Tatomir, M.A., C.C.C. #4610), are Masters-level or higher professionals recognized as meeting some of the highest standards for counsellors/therapists in Canada and are certified by the Canadian Counselling and Psychotherapy Association (CCPA). Most employee Benefits/Extended Health plans (Pacific Blue Cross, etc.) will reimburse you for all or part of your session costs from a certified or registered counsellor, up to a yearly maximum. However, all plans are different, so check with your benefits company before your first session to ensure you are covered.
Payment is expected to come from you (the client), at or before the session, not your insurance company, except for the following: Crime Victim Assistance Program (I am a Registered Provider), ICBC, WCB, WorkBC. Please alert us before your session if any of these circumstances apply to you.
Payment
I accept cash, cheque, all major credit cards, and Interac e-Transfer as forms of payment.
Cancellation Policy
If you are unable to attend a session, please make sure you cancel at least 24 hours beforehand. Otherwise, you may be charged for the full rate of the session.
