Frequently Asked Questions
01 Can I use private insurance for therapy at Aworie?
Many Aworie clients use extended health benefits or private insurance to receive reimbursement for psychotherapy services. Coverage varies by plan, so we recommend confirming the provider type, annual amount, and reimbursement process with your insurer before your first appointment.
02 How do I book a therapy appointment with Aworie?
You can request an appointment through Aworie’s online booking or contact process. Our team can help match you with a therapist based on your goals, preferred location or virtual care, availability, insurance pathway, and any identity or specialization preferences.
03 What should I expect in my first counselling session?
Your first session is an opportunity to discuss what brings you to therapy, what you would like to change, and what support might be most helpful. Your clinician will answer questions, explore your goals, and work with you to create a care plan at a pace that feels manageable.
04 Is psychotherapy confidential?
Psychotherapy is generally confidential, and your clinician will explain privacy, recordkeeping, and the limited legal or safety-related exceptions to confidentiality at the beginning of care. You are encouraged to ask questions about confidentiality before sharing anything you are unsure about.
05 What should I do if I need urgent mental health support?
Aworie is not an emergency or crisis service. If you are in immediate danger, call 911 or go to the nearest emergency department; in Canada, call or text 9-8-8 to reach the Suicide Crisis Helpline, available 24/7.
