How do I know if my insurance or benefits cover therapy?

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, you should ask your benefits provider whether they cover that specific designation of therapist or counsellor. You can also read this guide for more info.

How do I pick the right Counsellor?

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.

Does First Session offer in-person appointments in Saskatoon?
Yes! In-person appointments are available in Saskatoon. You can find Counsellor available for in-person appointments here.

Currently there are no in-person Counsellors available in Saskatoon.

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.

Can I find a Counsellor according to my age, cultural background, sexuality or gender identity?

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.
