In therapy, clients might share and learn new and concrete ways to deal with their feelings and stress, and we value confidential matters regarding our clients. We ensure the attainment of our goal which is our living legacy.

Individuals are covered with insurance to take the kind of therapy they need depending on the nature of their mental health concerns. We will advise our clients to undergo consultations with our therapists so that appropriate steps can be undertaken, and the therapeutic process will be started immediately.

Every company designs programs aimed to provide benefits for the employees, especially the availability or accessibility to health care services. One of these is the employee assistance program or EAP. Employee Assistance Programs (EAPs) are workplace-based services that are available to employees, often at no cost, to provide support in times of personal or work-related stress. Please check with your EAP provider if they would refer you to receive counseling outside of their provider network. It is important to remember that employee assistance programs (EAPs) are often limited in scope and may not cover counseling services for events such as motor vehicle accidents (MVAs).
Motorists should have access to insurance services because vehicular accidents can happen anytime, and immediate care and treatment of the client shall be undertaken by medical professionals or licensed therapists. Motor vehicle accidents (MVAs) can be traumatic experiences that cause physical, emotional, and financial strain on individuals. Therefore, receiving psychotherapeutic services under the MVA coverage plan is possible, but there is a need to apply for your insurance company’s approval of psychotherapy. It is important to claim any available health services such as counselling through your insurance company.
Access to health insurance shall not limit to refugees and migrant workers. These vulnerable groups must claim what is available for them if they are the most qualified clients. Therefore, mental health and psychotherapy services are covered under the IFH insurance after the client meets the eligibility criteria.

The government has allocations for the purpose of supporting programs, projects, and activities. The special programs funded by the government and community organizations support mental health. It is advisable to please consult community resources and government programs, including VQRP, to determine eligibility requirements for you to have access to these services.
When the clients don’t have any insurance benefits to help them pay for their psychotherapy services, they may consider personal payment options such as setting up a payment plan with the psychotherapist or paying in full at the time of the service.
