Feeling comfortable and understood by your therapist is an important part of the work. Because fit is personal, it’s often helpful to have brief conversations with a few practitioners to help determine who feels like the right match. New clients are welcome to book a complimentary 20-minute consultation by phone or video to see whether working together feels like a good fit.

There's no one-size-fits-all answer. The number of sessions depends on what you're working through, your goals and how you respond to psychotherapy. Some people come in for a few sessions to work through a specific issue, while others benefit from longer-term support.
That said, many clients start to notice some shifts within the first 6-8 sessions and we'll check in regularly about your progress and whether we're on the right track. Sessions are collaborative and we'll adjust the pace and length together based on what's actually helping.
If you're not sure what to expect, that's a great question to bring to our first session or to ask during a free consultation call.

Services provided by Registered Psychotherapists (RP) are not currently covered by OHIP (Ontario Health Insurance Plan). Many extended and private health insurance plans provide coverage for psychotherapy services. Coverage varies by plan and if you are unsure, it is best to confirm with your insurance provider directly.
