At Feel Your Way Therapy, we are proud to offer fully covered psychotherapy services through the Interim Federal Health Program (IFHP) for eligible refugees, protected persons, and other newcomers to Canada.

How to Access IFHP-Covered Therapy
1. Check Your Eligibility
You can confirm your IFHP coverage by checking your IFHP certificate, calling the IFHP division of Medavie Blue Cross, or speaking with your settlement worker or healthcare provider.
2. Contact Us
We’ll guide you through the process, help with any documentation needed, and match you with a therapist who fits your language, background, and therapeutic needs.
3. Obtain A Referral From Your Doctor
You’ll need a referral for psychotherapy or counselling therapy from your family doctor or general practitioner to begin. We can provide you with a referral form, or you can simply ask your doctor to write a referral that includes: 1) a diagnosis (your main concerns), and 2) a prescription for psychotherapy or counselling therapy.
4. Book Your First Session
Once your eligibility is confirmed and we’ve received your referral, we’ll handle all the billing directly through IFHP. You can then focus on getting the support you need — with no out-of-pocket payment required.
