Credits and deductions

If the counselling is considered “therapy”, then you can claim the expense, if it was prescribed. If there was no prescription, then you probably can’t claim it. You can always double check with the CRA. If you are in Canada or the United States, you can call the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) at 1-800-959-8281. If you are elsewhere you can call 613-940-8495.
