Registered psychotherapists

Every clinician is registered with the College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario (CRPO).

Sliding scale options

We work with you on cost. Reduced rates are available case-by-case based on need and availability.

Direct billing

We submit directly to most major insurers, so you don't pay out of pocket upfront.

Ottawa-based and Canadian-owned

Our office is in Ottawa. All client records are stored in Canada and handled under PIPEDA and PHIPA.

You may notice this showing up

Therapy is a space to slow down and look at what's underneath. These are some of the patterns people bring into the room.

Couples therapy

Two people, one shared session

$190 per 50-minute session

Same 50-minute format, structured for two participants and shared concerns.

Insurance, billing, and what to expect

Insurance coverage

Registered Psychotherapist services are covered by most extended health plans in Canada. We recommend confirming your specific coverage before your first paid session. Sun Life, Manulife, Canada Life, Green Shield, and most major insurers include RP coverage.

Direct billing

We direct-bill where your insurer allows it. Otherwise, you pay at the time of session and submit the receipt for reimbursement.

Receipts

Every session generates an HST-compliant receipt listing the provider's CRPO registration number, suitable for insurance reimbursement.

In-person or online

In-person sessions are held at our Ottawa office. Online sessions use a secure, PIPEDA-compliant video platform. You can switch between the two.

Cancellation

We ask for 24 hours notice on cancellations. Late cancellations and no-shows are charged the full session fee.

Your first session

After the free 15-minute consultation, your first paid session is intake-focused. Bring questions, anything you have already tried, and any goals you have in mind.

QUESTIONS

Common questions

What kinds of issues do you help with?

Our therapists work with anxiety, low mood, burnout, relationship difficulties, life transitions, identity questions, and the kind of patterns that show up across many areas of life. Concerns don't need to be 'serious enough' to come in. If something has been on your mind, that's reason enough to talk about it.

How do I know which therapist is the right fit for me?

Fit matters more than credentials on paper. Each therapist's profile describes how they work and who they tend to connect well with. The free 15-minute consult is the most honest way to feel out fit; it's a conversation, not an intake. If it doesn't feel right, we'll help you find someone who does.

What happens in the free 15-minute consult?

It's a short conversation, not a session. You share a little about what's bringing you in and ask whatever you want to ask. The therapist describes how they work and answers questions about scheduling, fees, and approach. There's no pressure to book a full session after.

How much do sessions cost?

Rates vary by therapist and are confirmed during your free 15-minute consultation. We accept e-transfer and credit, and direct-bill where your insurer allows. Most of our therapists offer sliding-scale spots case by case based on need and availability. You'll see the current rate and whether a reduced rate is available on each therapist's profile page.

Are you covered by my insurance?

Most major Canadian insurance plans cover services provided by Registered Psychotherapists. We direct-bill where we can and provide receipts where we cannot. Coverage and reimbursement depend on your specific plan. We recommend confirming psychotherapy coverage with your insurer before your first session.

Do you offer in-person sessions in Ottawa or only virtual?

Both. We have a physical office in Ottawa and also see clients by secure video across Ontario. Each therapist's availability for in-person versus virtual is listed on their profile. Many clients combine both formats based on what fits their week.

How often do people usually come in?

Most clients start weekly while we get to know each other and the work picks up momentum. Frequency can shift to every other week or monthly once things feel steadier. This is something you and your therapist decide together; there's no fixed program length.

What if I've tried therapy before and it didn't help?

Not every fit lands, and not every approach suits every person at every stage of life. A different therapist, a different modality, or a different moment in your life can change what's possible. The free consult is a low-stakes way to see whether this is worth a fresh try.
