How starting talk therapy with EaseCare works
A full one-hour video visit with an Alberta physician. They ask about what's been happening, how long it's been going on, and what you've already tried. Nothing is decided without you, and follow-up sessions are unlimited.
- A full hour with your physician, not a 5-minute triage call
- Plain-language explanation of what's driving your symptoms
- A written care plan you leave the appointment with
- Internal referral to our psychiatrists if you need it
- Unlimited follow-up sessions, you're never left alone with a plan
Your therapy is with a physician. That's why it's covered.
Talk therapy at EaseCare is provided by physicians, so it’s covered by AHCIP with a valid Alberta Health Card. No private insurance needed, no per-session pricing, no packages, no commitment.
There's no limit on the number of sessions, so you can keep going, adjust or stop when you're ready, not a few visits and silence.
The right physician beats the first available one.
Your first appointment clarifies what you're working on and rules out anything medical. And if the fit doesn't feel right, just tell us and we'll rematch you with another physician.
