Therapists for Nova Scotia

Practical things worth knowing

Where you are matters more than where we are

Counselling is regulated province by province across Canada, and what decides who can work with you is where you are sitting during the session rather than where the practice is based. If you move, or split your year between two places, let your counsellor know, because it can change who is able to see you.

Insurance in Nova Scotia

Nova Scotia regulates counselling therapy as a distinct profession, alongside psychology and social work. Most Nova Scotia plans reimburse accordingly, though annual maximums vary widely.

The single most useful question to put to your insurer is this: which counselling designations do you reimburse, and what is my annual maximum? Tell us what they say and we'll match you accordingly where we can. We don't bill insurers directly, so you'll pay us and then submit a receipt that carries your counsellor's designation and registration number.

Time zones

Nova Scotia runs on Atlantic time. We'll confirm your local time in writing before the first session, because finding out about a mix-up at seven in the morning is nobody's idea of a good start.
