Tanya Hansen is an experienced video/telephonic counsellor and has been providing video and telephonic counselling for 4 years (pre-COVID-19). Most clients give the feedback that video counselling in particular feels as effective as in-person and once COVID-19 restrictions are lifted, would prefer to continue either using video only or a blended approach where they would prefer some video and some in-person depending upon weather conditions in the winter and the convenience and reduced barriers in terms of time, distance, and childcare, which can sometimes restrict the ability to access counselling therapy.

Beginning September 1, 2020 optional in-person visits will be available for initial sessions and once per month for individuals and couples, and for families (available at Calgary location - Thursdays only - limit of 6 people, including therapist - due to COVID 19 restrictions). Limited in-person sessions are available, upon request for private/self-referred clients at the Okotoks office on Mondays and Tuesdays with limited evening appointments available. All other sessions will be online only until COVID restrictions are fully lifted. For your comfort and convenience, all sessions may be held online indefinitely.

Billing/Insurance
Tanya Hansen Therapy offers DIRECT BILLING through Alberta Blue Cross, Green Shield, and Great West Life. As of October 19, 2020, it has come to our attention that unfortunately at this time, Telus eHealth does not provide direct billing for sessions with Registered Provisional Psychologists or other therapists. (Registered Provisional Psychologists are still covered but you have to pay the full session cost up front then get reimbursed later from your insurance provider). We are continuing to work with various extended health care benefit carriers for direct billing to serve you better. Please remember, it is the client’s responsibility to know their coverage limits, and to personally pay fees beyond their coverage limits, but we are happy to assist you in the process wherever possible. Please also note that you may be eligible for EFAP/EAP (Employee Family Assistance Program) which offers direct billing - you may call your EFAP/EAP program and request Tanya Hansen to be your provider (i.e. Homewood Health, Arete, Optima, Lifeworks, Morneau Shepell).
If you are unsure if you have an EFAP program through your workplace or educational institution, please call your employer, HR, or student services to find out if this is available to you. Note: many post-secondary educational institutions do offer between 3-12 sessions of counselling for students, and many people have this benefit, and are unaware of it.
