NIHB-Covered Individual Therapy Now Available In-Person in Whitecourt, Edmonton, and Online Across Alberta
The wide-open beauty of Alberta — a reflection of openness and the vast landscapes within
If you’re an Indigenous individual living in Edmonton, Whitecourt, Woodlands County, or anywhere in Alberta, you can now access free, confidential, one-on-one counselling through the Non-Insured Health Benefits (NIHB) Program.
I’m a registered psychologist and an NIHB-approved provider, offering individual therapy both in person (in Whitecourt) and online anywhere in Alberta.
Who Can Access
If you have a Status card, you automatically have coverage for NIHB mental health counselling.
In-person sessions: Available for clients within travel distance to Edmonton and Whitecourt, including Woodlands County, Blue Ridge, Fox Creek, Swan Hills, Mayerthorpe, Fort Assiniboine, Kinuso, and Slave Lake.
Online sessions: Available to Indigenous clients anywhere in Alberta with a Status card.
Why This Matters
Access to holistic and evidence-informed mental health care can be difficult in smaller or northern communities. With NIHB coverage, eligible clients can receive counselling at no cost, either online or locally near Whitecourt.
What I Offer
Individual therapy only — a space dedicated to your goals and experiences
A culturally respectful and trauma-informed approach
Flexible scheduling (afternoon, evening, and select mornings)
In-person and virtual options to suit your location and comfort level
NIHB Coverage Details
If you are eligible for NIHB, you can access up to 22 sessions per year, with the option to extend as needed. I handle billing directly with NIHB, so there’s no cost to you.
