News!
Registered Clinical Counsellors (RCCs) in BC are now exempt from collecting GST on their psychotherapy services.
This is the result of many years of negotiation and advocacy by our professional association, the British Columbia Association of Clinical Counsellors (BCACC)
Extended Benefits
Some Extended Health Benefit plans such as Pacific Blue Cross, Sun Life, Green Shield Canada, Canada Life and Great-West Life cover Registered Clinical Counsellors (RCC) as a service. If you have such a plan through work, check with your provider to find out if your plan covers consultations with a Registered Clinical Counsellor (RCC).
