Counselling in Vernon.

How covered counselling works in Vernon

1. Tell us what you need. A short, private intake: what's going on, who you'd feel comfortable with, and that you're in or near Vernon.
2. You choose your counsellor. You see your best matches among FNHA-registered counsellors in and around Vernon right away, and pick one, or leave it to us. Our team checks the fit and availability, and calls them for you.
3. You meet in person. We make a warm introduction. The counsellor bills FNHA or NIHB directly, so your sessions cost $0.

Looking for a therapist in Vernon rather than a “counsellor”? On FNHA and NIHB, they're the same benefit. Psychologists, social workers and clinical counsellors are all covered.

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.
