FAQ
Do you do direct billing?
We are currently in the process of offering direct billing for
eligible providers.
If we are unable to direct bill your insurance provider, but your plan
covers counselling services, you can still submit a claim. Upon receiving
payment, you will be emailed a detailed receipt containing all the necessary
information to submit to your insurance or benefits provider.
Please review your specific benefits package to confirm what types of
practitioners are covered. Some providers have strict requirements
regarding the credentials of the therapist (e.g., Registered
Psychologist, Canadian Certified Counsellor, Professional Registered
Counsellor, Clinical Counsellor, etc.).
Teresa Ferrario is certified with the Canadian Professional Counselling Association (CPCA) as a Master Practitioner in Clinical Counselling (MPCC) #4847
What is an MPCC?
This stands for Master Practitioner of Clinical Counselling. Members of the Canadian Professional Counsellors Association (CPCA) must complete foundational registration in order to obtain membership, and then can apply for a master level designation. The MPCC title represents a significant body of education and experience earned and recognized in clinical practice. Thus the MPCC practicing clinician holds an equivalent to graduate degree education and experience. To have an MPCC designation means:
- The therapist has completed 1250 hours of clinical practice hours.
- The therapist has completed 250 hours of clinical supervision.
- The therapist has a minimum of 5 years of active clinical practice in the past 8 years.
- The therapist has a minimum of 60 hours of advanced education specific to the practice of therapy.
- The therapist completes continuing education and training each year.
- The therapist abides by the CPCA code of ethics.
- Many insurance plans will reimburse for sessions with a MPCC.
Where do you offer services?
I offer services in home, your community, or my counselling office; I'd be happy to discuss what works best for you and adapt to your needs.
Where can I read referrals and testimonials?
As a regulated mental health professional, I adhere to ethical guidelines that prohibit the use of client reviews, testimonials, or success stories in advertising or promotional materials. This is to protect client confidentiality, maintain professional boundaries, and ensure that all therapeutic relationships are built on trust, not influenced by others' experiences. If you have questions about my approach or qualifications, I'm happy to provide more information during a consultation.
