Questions

Counselling in North Vancouver: questions.

Yes, if you're eligible. In British Columbia, First Nations people are covered by the First Nations Health Authority (FNHA) instead of NIHB. Inuit, and First Nations people whose coverage comes from outside BC, use NIHB. FNHA-registered and NIHB-enrolled counsellors bill the program directly, so you never see an invoice, a receipt or a reimbursement form.

Browse the 44 counsellors on this page and tap “Request an introduction” on anyone who feels right, or start a free intake and see your best matches right away. Either way, our team checks the fit, contacts the counsellor personally, and makes a warm introduction. No cold calls on your end.

Yes. 1 counsellor in North Vancouver self-identifies as Indigenous. If that matters to you, say so in your intake and we'll match on it first.

Yes. You're covered by NIHB, which covers up to 22 hours of counselling a year with an NIHB-enrolled counsellor. None of the counsellors listed in North Vancouver are on the NIHB list yet. Tell us in your intake and we'll check who can bill NIHB for you before any introduction.

In person. Wapan only matches for in-person counselling: a counsellor in or near North Vancouver you can sit across from.

Honestly, no. NIHB and FNHA don't cover Métis or non-status people, and Wapan is built around covered care. Métis Nation British Columbia may cover counselling for citizens, and Friendship Centres and community health centres can point you to low-cost care near North Vancouver.

An introduction takes days, and a crisis can't wait. Call Hope for Wellness at 1-855-242-3310 or call or text 988. Both are free, confidential and open 24/7.
