Expat Therapy & Counseling
Navigating Life Abroad with Confidence
Adapting to a new country brings excitement but also challenges—uncertainty, loneliness, or feeling caught between two cultures.
You may struggle with cultural differences, maintaining relationships across distances, or finding your place in a new social and professional environment.
Therapy provides a space to reflect on your experiences, manage stress, and build emotional resilience.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT): Identify and reframe unhelpful thought patterns to manage anxiety and enhance adaptability.
Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT): Develop mindfulness techniques to stay present and reduce stress.

Does My Insurance Cover Counselling?
If you have extended health care benefits (such as Blue Cross, Sun Life, or another provider), you likely have some coverage for counselling with a Certified Canadian Counsellor (CCC) or Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying). I encourage you to contact your insurance provider directly to confirm your specific coverage. Many providers list coverage details on their websites.
After each session, I’ll provide you with a receipt that includes all the necessary information for reimbursement, as required by your insurance provider.
