Issues with Registration and Insurance Coverage
The reviewer, Tyler Mulligan, had a negative experience with a professional at Northern Focus, discovering that they were not registered in Canada and not covered by their health insurance. The owner allegedly denied responsibility, claiming that the reviewer was informed of this risk by the admin staff, which was not the case. The reviewer further stated that the counselor is no longer with the organization.
