We want therapy to be financially accessible for everyone. Reduced rates are available case-by-case based on need and availability.
We submit directly to most major insurers, so you don't pay out of pocket upfront.
Our office is in Ottawa. All client records are stored in Canada and handled under PIPEDA and PHIPA.
Therapy is a space to slow down and look at what's underneath. These are some of the patterns people bring into the room.
FOR WHEN SOMETHING FEELS OFF
Dread is what finally starts the task, so part of you is afraid to let it go. Running on fear gets things done, but it wears you down.
You've been burned by your own memory often enough that you now verify constantly: the stove, the email, the calendar. The checking is exhausting, and it's guarding against something real.
When nothing is urgent, it feels like you've forgotten something. Real rest is hard to come by, because your system has learned that quiet is when the missed thing surfaces.
When ADHD and anxiety overlap, we work with both rather than picking one. That means understanding which worries are anxiety talking and which are accurate feedback about a week with no margins; they get different responses. It also means building ways to start, finish, and remember that don't run on dread.
Sessions lean on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) for the thought loops and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) for building a different relationship with the noise, both adapted for attention that moves. The aim isn't a silent mind; it's a manageable one, and commitments sized so your system isn't permanently braced.
Anxiety on its own is covered in depth in our anxiety therapy pages. If you've treated anxiety before and it keeps growing back, the ADHD question can be worth asking; our therapy while you seek a diagnosis page covers how we support that.
Email, phone, or fill out our booking form. There's no script and no pressure. You can share as much or as little as you want.
A real person, not a bot, will reply as soon as we can with a few options for a free 15-minute consultation.
We listen. You ask questions. No paperwork, no obligation. If we're not the right match, we'll point you toward someone who might be.
Direct billing where possible. Evening and weekend availability. Virtual or in-person in Ottawa.
Sessions are 50 minutes in length. Rates vary by therapist and are confirmed during your free consultation. We accept e-transfer and credit cards, and direct-bill most insurers.
Sliding-scale spots are available based on need. Ask during your free consultation.
Same 50-minute format, structured for two participants and shared concerns.
Registered Psychotherapist and Registered Social Worker 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 coverage.
We direct-bill where your insurer allows it. Otherwise, you pay at the time of session and submit the receipt for reimbursement.
Every session generates a receipt listing the provider's license number, suitable for insurance reimbursement.
In-person sessions are held at our Ottawa office. Virtual sessions use a secure, PIPEDA-compliant video platform. You can switch between the two.
We ask for 24 hours notice on cancellations. Late cancellations and no-shows are charged the full session fee.
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
They overlap heavily and often coexist, which is why self-sorting is hard. A formal diagnosis comes from your family doctor, a nurse practitioner, or a psychologist. In therapy, we can start working with the actual difficulties right away; the work adapts as the picture clarifies.
Usually neither; they get treated together, because they feed each other. Untangling which worries are anxiety and which are accurate feedback about an overloaded week is part of the work itself.
Sometimes the anxiety was doing a job, compensating for time-blindness or powering task-starting, and treating it alone left the underlying pattern in place. If that sounds familiar, working with both at once may hold better.
No. You can book directly with a Registered Psychotherapist or Registered Social Worker without a doctor's referral. Some insurance plans ask for one before reimbursing, so it is worth checking your policy.
Psychotherapy with a Registered Psychotherapist or Registered Social Worker is not covered by OHIP. Many extended health and workplace benefit plans cover it, though plans differ on which credentials they reimburse. Check whether yours covers RP, RSW, or both.
Yes. Our therapists offer secure video sessions to clients anywhere in Ontario, and many people mix virtual and in-person visits depending on the week. Everything discussed stays confidential either way.
Therapy is a longer-term relationship. If you're in acute distress, please reach the services below first. They are free, confidential, and available right now.
