Insurance & Reimbursement

Light Within Counseling is considered an Out-of-Network provider. While we do not bill insurance directly, many of our clients receive reimbursement for a portion of their therapy costs—often between 50–80% of the session fee, depending on their plan.

If your insurance offers Out-of-Network mental health benefits, we’ll provide you with a Superbill (a detailed receipt) that you can submit to your insurance company for potential reimbursement. For example, this may reduce your out-of-pocket cost to approximately $30-$80 depending on your insurance companies reimburse 

Because coverage varies, we encourage you to contact your insurance company before your first appointment to ask about:

•Your Out-of-Network mental health benefits

•What percentage of therapy costs are reimbursed

•Whether you have a deductible that must be met first

Think of therapy as an investment in your long-term happiness and emotional well-being. Prioritizing your mental health can lead to profound and lasting positive changes in your life.

You are worth this investment in yourself.

At Light Within Counseling, we are committed to providing high-quality, personalized care tailored to your unique needs. While we do not accept insurance directly, our approach reflects the expertise and dedication of our therapists, individualized treatment plans, and ongoing support throughout your healing journey.

EAP:

  • We are contracted with TELUS EAP. You can ask your TELUS EAP provider to reach out directly to us and we can verify coverage and bill them directly.

The frequency of therapy sessions will depend on your individual needs and treatment goals. Most people start weekly or biweekly and step down as needed. We can discuss a schedule that works best for you during our initial consultation.

During the first session, we will discuss your reasons for seeking therapy, your goals, and any questions or concerns you may have. This session is also an opportunity for us to get to know each other and determine if we are a good fit for working together. Your therapist will guide the conversation with thoughtful questions to gain a comprehensive understanding of your situation. Much like a visit to a medical doctor, this first session is about listening attentively to your needs to provide the most effective treatment.

Yes, therapy is confidential, and your privacy is protected by law. However, there are some exceptions to confidentiality, which are covered in my informed consent paperwork and will be discussed during our first session. These exceptions typically include situations involving harm to yourself or others, abuse or neglect of a child, elderly, or dependent adult, and court orders. If you have questions or concerns regarding this, we can discuss it during our first session.

Once you’ve reached out to us via phone or email, we’ll provide you with the necessary intake paperwork, which we ask you to complete before your first session to ensure a smooth start to your therapeutic journey. After our initial contact, I will send you a follow up email with instructions on how to access the intake paperwork, how to handle payment for the session, my office address, and more.
