Tanya Hansen is also an experienced video/telephonic counsellor and has been providing video and telephonic counselling for 7 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.

Tanya Hansen Therapy is unable to offer direct billing. Please note, that there may be a co-pay depending upon your specific plan, payable via Credit Card (my assistant can easily set this up for you or e-transfer to: tanya@tanyahansentherapy.com). However, we will provide same day billing and sending you an insurance friendly receipt with certification information listed for re-imbursement as allowable by your insurance company. Tanya Hansen is licensed/certified as a Canadian Certified Counsellor (CCC) with the Canadian Counselling and Psychotherapy Association - license # 11254624.
As of October 19, 2020 and continuing to present, 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.

Tanya Hansen may be able to offer counselling through Homewood Health as an external provider. However, you will need to call Homewood Health and specifically request to have her as your counsellor. I will fill out any needed paperwork.
