Group settings can offer a place for individuals facing similar challenges to come together and experience a positive and supportive environment.
Psychoeducational groups offer a space for people to learn and develop various skills and receive support in a confidential environment. Support style groups offer a safe and confidential place for individuals to come and focus on the specific topics impacting their lives with others who are experiencing similar difficulties. There will be various virtual groups that occur through Virtual Connect so keep an eye out to see if any of them appeal to you.

Direct Billing

Yes, it is possible to engage in almost all forms of counselling virtually and have an effective outcome from the counselling service.

 Is counselling as effective when it is done virtually? 

Yes, not every clinician is going to be a perfect fit, and as such, it is possible to switch clinicians. Please feel free to reach out in the Contact Us section, or by sending an email to info@virtualconnect.ca

What if I do not connect with my counsellor, is it an option to switch counsellors? 

You will be asked to share where you reside/what province you have benefits in, then you will be connected with a clinician who is registered to work in that province to ensure that benefits will cover the counselling. 

Will my benefits cover the cost of counselling? 

We do not directly bill. You will be asked to pay following the session, and will be provided with a receipt that you are able to submit to your personal benefits. 

Do you directly bill?

All counsellors at Virtual Connect are registered with their regulatory provincial body, hold a master's degree, and abide by an ethical and research informed standard of practice.
