How do I start therapy?

Fill out our online form, call, or email to connect with our Intake Coordinator. They’ll answer questions and match you with a therapist—no referral needed.

What happens during the call with the intake coordinator?

We’ll talk about your needs, find the right therapist for you, review fees and payment options, and schedule your first session.

How much does therapy cost?

Sessions typically range from $160 to $250 depending on therapist credentials and session type (individual, couple, family, consultation).

Are fees covered by insurance?

Many extended health plans, workers compensation (e.g., WSIB), or auto insurance may cover services. Provincial plans do not.

Do you direct bill to insurance companies?

If your insurer allows it, we can offer direct billing. Otherwise, you’ll pay upfront and submit claims to your insurer for reimbursement.

Are services confidential?

Yes. Sessions are confidential, following Canadian privacy laws and professional standards. We only disclose information when legally or ethically required.

How do I find the right therapist?

During your first session (or a 15-minute consult), you can see if the therapist feels like a good fit and adjust if needed.

Research shows that most people experience relief and improved daily functioning after about 6–8 weekly sessions.

Megan Purcell, B.Sc., M.Psy. (candidate)

Clinical Associate (under psychologist supervision)

* Serving Clients in Ontario *

You want to feel understood, accepted, and empowered—especially when life feels overwhelming or your unique way of experiencing the world isn’t always honoured. You may experience anxiety and feel things deeply, and sometimes it seems like your emotions are "too much" for others to understand. You’re a kind, compassionate person, dedicated to showing up for those around you, yet it’s often hard to extend that same compassion to yourself. Juggling multiple responsibilities and wearing many hats, you work tirelessly, but still find yourself feeling as though it’s never quite enough. You’re not alone. I’m here to support you, and I’d like to work collaboratively to help you find a path forward to live a meaningful life.
