“We would rather be ruined than changed. We would rather die in our dread than climb the cross of the moment and let our illusions die.”
 

W. H. Auden

Insurance

Some Extended Health Plans and Health Spending Accounts cover, to a limited amount, the services of Registered Clinical Counsellors in BC and/or psychoanalysts who are members of the Canadian Psychoanalytic Society (Canadian Institute of Psychoanalysis). This coverage should be verified with the plan administrator in advance. A receipt is provided after each payment with the necessary information for your health plan where applicable.

Income Tax Medical Expense Deduction

Psychotherapists and psychoanalysts are generally not on the list of eligible service providers for the medical expense deduction although the list varies by province and changes over time. For current information, it is best to obtain advice from a tax professional.
