Insurance coverage
Insurance coverage in Ontario.
Many extended health plans in Ontario cover services from a Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying), but coverage varies widely between plans and even between policies at the same insurer. Before your first session, it's worth a quick call to your insurer to confirm what your plan covers.
The most reliable way to check: ask whether your plan covers services from a Registered Psychotherapist specifically.
OHIP does not cover private psychotherapy. Services from Yathra Psychotherapy are paid for either out of pocket or through extended health benefits, depending on your coverage.
If cost is a barrier
Other ways to access support.
If the standard session fee isn't workable for you, please mention it during your free consult. If Yathra isn't the right fit financially, here are some Ontario options worth knowing about.

The practical side
Receipts, billing, and the fine print.
- Receipts
- Receipts are issued electronically after each session and include the CRPO registration number for insurance submission.
- Direct billing
- Direct billing to insurers is not currently available. Payment is taken at the time of session, and you can submit the receipt to your insurer for reimbursement.
- Cancellation policy
- Sessions cancelled or rescheduled with less than 24 hours notice may be charged the full session fee. Free consults can be rescheduled at any time.
- Payment methods
- Payment is taken securely through the Jane App platform. Major credit and debit cards accepted.
