Fees for therapy provided by a Psychotherapist, a Clinical Counsellor (C.T. or C.C.C.) and a M.P.C.C. (Master Practitioner of Clinical Counselling) are lower than the mandated fees charged by a chartered psychologist (as determined by the Psychologist’s Association of Alberta). This means clients can get more counselling support and access more therapy sessions through Tacit Knowledge than they can when they see a psychologist.

Many insurance/employee benefit programs cover the costs associated with the therapy services provided by Tacit Knowledge. Clients should check with their employer and/or benefit provider to confirm this coverage before they begin counselling – Tacit Knowledge can provide the client with a letter to assist with this process. If the benefit provider will not cover the fees for therapy, Tacit would be happy to advocate further for the client – the CPCA (Canadian Professional Counsellors Association) and ACTA (Association of Counselling Therapy of Alberta) are also available to assist with a client’s appeal to their provider once the client receives a written notice explaining the reason for the refusal of coverage.

Counselling fees that are not reimbursed by a benefit/insurance provider can be deducted on the client’s income tax return each year, under health care expenses.

Tacit Knowledge provides direct billing to insurance providers in SOME circumstances. This means clients do not have pay fees for their counselling sessions, if they are referred to a Tacit therapist by these companies. Tacit works with other EAP’s/Benefit Providers as well, on an individual basis, based on need – please contact your Employer/Provider to inquire further.

Tacit Knowledge is also pleased to provide subsidized counselling supports for qualified clients, through the assistance offered by TWO different Subsidy Programs:

Beaumont FCSS – clients who reside in Beaumont can inquire about their possible eligibility for subsidized Neurofeedback Training supports – this is an income-based support program.  Clients can apply over the phone (at 780-929-1006) – approval is immediate. Participants will be approved for 10 Neurofeedback sessions (including the Intake session).

The Lionheart Foundation – a leading organization providing subsidized mental health support for adolescents and young adults (ages 12-25) in Edmonton and the surrounding communities (Leduc, Beaumont, Sherwood Park, Fort Sask, St Albert, etc), facing anxiety-based challenges including low esteem, OCD, panic attacks, self-harm, suicidal ideation, eating disorders, and depression. Clients can reach out to apply for this subsidy by going to https://lionheartfoundation.ca/edmonton/ The number of sessions authorized is dependent upon each client’s needs. Our Neurofeedback Services are covered by this Program as well.
