What counselling can address
The counsellor starts with your experience, current concerns, and goals for care.
Care plan
The counsellor recommends an approach based on your concerns, preferences, and scope of practice.
Coordinated care
With your consent, counselling can be coordinated with other Phoenix Rehab disciplines involved in your collision care.
ICBC counselling and billing
Phoenix Rehab checks the claim, provider, visit, and direct-billing requirements before booking.
Phoenix Rehab does not decide whether an ICBC claim is accepted and does not provide claim-status support. Contact ICBC for claim decisions, status, benefits, or account access.
ICBC counselling questions
Do I need a diagnosis to ask about counselling?

Can counselling be billed to ICBC?
Counselling may be billed under an accepted ICBC claim when the provider and visit are eligible. Phoenix Rehab checks eligibility before booking.
Can the counsellor manage my ICBC claim?

Can counselling be combined with physical rehabilitation?
