Financial Circumstances
If you're facing financial difficulties, you may qualify for alternative payment arrangements. Please contact Sandra to discuss potential options.
Payment Options
In general, payments can be made by cash, cheque, credit card, e-transfers and paypal.
Payment Through Insurance
If there is the possibility that you are covered by insurance, please read carefully the section in your insurance coverage booklet that describes mental health services. Many plans cover only for Clinical Psychologists, Psychiatrists or Social Workers. Sandra is a “Registered Clinical Counsellor”. If you're not sure, then you should call your plan administrator to determine the extent of your coverage.
Employee Assistance
At present, the only Employee Assistance Groups that Lifewater is registered with are:
Optum Canada
Homewood Solutions.
Both plans require you to contact that organization first, and they will contact Sandra to establish a counselling contract. Again, please carefully read the insurance coverage booklet provided by your employer.
