Counselling that works for your budget

One of my values is to offer professional counselling to all people at an affordable rate. Your mental health is important and not everyone can benefit from extended health insurance benefits or from an income that could support the extra expense.

Archer Counselling does not do any third party billing. However, I can provide receipts that you can submit to your insurance provider or to your church/sponsor.

I do not guarantee coverage for counselling services. It is the clients responsibility to ensure coverage for any counselling expenses.

Why don’t I direct bill to insurance?

• Couples Therapy: Often insurance companies don’t cover couples therapy because it is not classified as “medically necessary.”

• Specialized Care: Many of the issues that we may address, such as betrayal trauma, pornography addiction, or relationship challenges, don’t align with insurance-mandated mental health diagnoses.

• Client-Focussed Care: Insurance companies often dictate the number of sessions a client is allowed as well as the scope of care they are entitled to. This thinking does not align with my own personalized, client-centred approach.

• Prioritizing Your Privacy: Insurance companies often require that any claims made need to share potentially sensitive information that could impact your future coverage, rates, or even employment opportunities.

  • I will never give out your personal details to a public or private company, insurance agency, or organization except in a circumstance that it would be legally required for me to do so (ie. A judge issuing a subpoena).

This is one of the reasons why I offer affordable rates as well as a scholarship program with the goal of making mental health care accessible to you in a way that protects your privacy and empowers you to make the best decisions for your own life.

Archer Counselling Scholarship Program

For those interested in a scholarship to make counselling more affordable, I encourage you to first check with your local community contacts, local church, or other potential sponsors that might be able to help you find financial assistance that can partner with you in this journey.
