Online Indigenous Mental Health Services Direct-Billing
Triello Counselling Services provides direct-billing through Indigenous Services Canada (ISC) and other programs that support the provision of Indigenous mental health therapy. We are passionate about reducing barriers to accessing mental health services, and our direct-billing options for Indigenous mental health support services are designed to help make starting online counselling as easy and seamless as possible.
We are able to provide direct billing to the following Indigenous psychology services programs for virtual therapy (phone or online counselling):
-
Non-Insured Health Benefits (NIHB): This program supports coverage for online counselling for eligible First Nations and Inuit individuals and families across Alberta and Ontario, who have a status, treaty, "N," or client number.
-
Indian Residential School Resolution Health Support Program (IRS RHSP): This program supports coverage for online counselling for Survivors of residential schools, and any relatives who have experienced the effects of intergenerational trauma associated with their family member's time at a residential school, and who do not have a status, treaty, "N," or client number.
Land acknowledgement
Triello Counselling Services acknowledges the unceded traditional territory of the Algonquin Anishinabeg and the people of the Algonquin Anishinabeg Nation which encompasses the watershed of the Kitchissippi (Big River) now commonly known as the Ottawa River. The Algonquin Anishinabeg have been here in the watershed for thousands of years long before European contact and will continue to be here well into the future.
We recognize all Indigenous people in the region, from all Nations across Canada, who have also made Ottawa their home.
We acknowledge the traditional knowledge keepers, both young and old. And we honour their courageous leaders: past, present, and future.
We dedicate ourselves to moving forward in the spirit of partnership and Reconciliation. Together, we take responsibility for the heart health of all people in the region.
Our Story
Triello Counselling Services was developed in 2020 with the vision of creating an accessible space where individuals can access mental health services to achieve healing, self-discovery, growth and wellness.
Cassandra Tenneriello the founder of Triello Counselling Services had the opportunity to provide counselling services throughout the remote, isolated Indigenous communities of the James and Hudson Bay region. This experience has helped Cassandra better understand the importance of the interconnection of our physical, emotional, spiritual and mental wellbeing. In addition, Cassandra's time in Northern Ontario allowed her to gain insight into the barriers people living in remote communities face when trying to access mental health services. This is why Triello Counselling Services provides exclusively virtual services to ensure accessibility to all Ontario residents.
