Frequently Asked Questions

You can make an appointment with a clinician from Solasta on your own—you don't need a doctor's referral. Mental health fees are not covered under all provincial or territorial health plans. Ask your private insurance company or workplace benefits provider if they cover services provided by a mental health practitioner.

Most private insurance companies offer some coverage for mental health services. However, there is a lot of variability between the benefits health insurers provide and the out-of-pocket costs you might be required to pay. Check your extended health coverage first to ensure you feel confident about what is covered by your plan and what is not. Solasta Psychological Services has direct billing and your insurance company may be on our list of providers. Please feel free to ask us if your provider is represented.

A clinical psychologist (or c. psych associate) is a regulated mental health professional with highly specialized training in the diagnosis and psychological treatment of mental health disorders.

Both Clinical Psychologists and Registered Psychotherapists can work with individuals, couples, and families in individual and group settings, depending on their areas of competence.
