Swipe left or right… that may be a way to find a date, but it can be harder to find the right therapist. Searching for answers online as you struggle with emotions or addictions, and asking for help can be hard. But sometimes it can be harder to find a therapist that works perfectly for you – one that doesn’t make you feel judged or rushed or worse than when you started.
Taking care of your mental health is just as important as taking care of your physical health. That’s why PRISM health insurance offers more than just protection against out-of-pocket healthcare costs; it includes, GreenShield Cares, a personalized matching tool to help you find the right mental health professional.
GreenShield Cares Can Help You Find The Right One
Everyone needs support at one time or another during their life, which is why accessible and effective therapy matters. The GreenShield Cares program’s personalized counselling matching tool includes over fifty matching options, including culture, race, language, and religion, to ensure you can find a mental health professional who shares and/or can relate to their identity and lived experiences.
The first time you use the tool it can feel like filling out a dating profile. You are able to specify and prioritize things like experience with family and children or changing work/life balance, depression and more.
The program offers virtual access to psychotherapists, Masters of Social Work, psychologists and other professionals whose specialties range from sex therapy, relationship counselling, and trauma, including therapists who specialize in Indigenous mental health services.
The diversity of Canadians is reflected in the diversity of the program’s certified practitioners, with hundreds of the program’s certified practitioners have identified as Black, Indigenous or a person of colour.
Just like dating, sometimes it takes a little work to find the therapy that is right for you, and sometimes you get lucky right away.

Understanding that everyone’s health care needs and finances are unique, PRISM offers you three programs to choose from – PRISM Continuum, PRISM Precision and PRISM Spectra. Within each of these programs are four different plans, each offering varying levels of coverage, so you can decide on the one that’s best for you. Best of all, eight PRISM plans offer guaranteed acceptance – with no medical exam or questionnaire required regardless of your current health status – an important consideration if you have any pre-existing medical conditions, and they provide lifetime coverage, as long as you continue to pay your premiums.
PRISM SPECTRA
PRISM Spectra can be your ideal solution if you and your family are in good health and are looking for supplemental healthcare coverage with a full range of benefits and high benefit maximums. In fact, it may be your best choice for future health care needs. A medical questionnaire is required to qualify for this extensive coverage.
PRISM PRECISION
Looking for a practical way to supplement the coverage offered by your provincial government health plan? Want to gain the security of knowing you’re protected against the cost of both ongoing and unexpected health care expenses? Had difficulties securing insurance in the past because of health issues? PRISM Precision offers four comprehensive plans that will provide you and your family with basic coverage, including coverage for pre-existing conditions. Enrolment is guaranteed. There is no medical exam or questionnaire required, making it an ideal solution if you have an existing health issue and are looking for guaranteed coverage.
PRISM CONTINUUM
Losing your group benefits? Worried about the healthcare expenses you’re going to have to pay because you are no longer covered by your group plan at work? Anxious because you may not qualify for other coverage due to health issues? PRISM Continuum offers four plans that will provide guaranteed coverage for anyone applying up to age 80 – even for those with pre-existing medical conditions– if you, your spouse, or dependents apply within 90 days of losing your/their company group health benefits. The coverage is comprehensive– even with pre-existing conditions. After you are enrolled you will remain on the plan guaranteed as long as the premiums are paid.
