NIHB Mental Health Counselling
in Nova Scotia
Accessible Therapy for First Nations and Inuit
Non-Insured Health Benefits (NIHB)
If you are eligible for the Non-Insured Health Benefits (NIHB) Program, you may be able to access free mental health counselling services.
NIHB is a federal health benefits program that provides coverage for eligible First Nations and Inuit Individuals for health related services that are not covered through other programs or insurance plans.
Am I eligible for NIHB coverage?
You may be eligible for NIHB mental health counselling benefits if you:
Are a resident of Canada; and
Are a registered First Nations person (Status Indian); or
Are an Inuk recognized by an Inuit land claim organization
Direct Billing Available
If you are unsure whether you qualify, I can help to guide you through the steps needed.
Once approved for services, I offer claim submissions directly to NIHB, reducing the need for you to manage payment or reimbursement.
A Trauma-Informed Approach to Therapy
My approach is grounded in respect, compassion, and collaboration. I recognize that each person’s experiences, relationships, culture, and community connections shape their healing journey.
Counselling is a space where you can explore your experiences at your own pace, build greater understanding of yourself, and develop tools to support your mental wellness.
