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
Weeks of heroic output, then a stretch where answering one email feels impossible. The cycle looks like inconsistency from outside; from inside, it's the only way you've ever been able to work.
Burnout with ADHD often takes the hobbies first. When the interests that used to light you up produce nothing, it's frightening, and it's a signal about depletion, not proof you've changed.
Performing focus and calm for eight hours takes real energy. If home gets whatever is left, and lately that's nothing, the mask is a fair place to look.
Burnout recovery with ADHD in the picture can't just be "rest more and set boundaries," because the pattern that produced the burnout (overcommitting, masking, sprint-and-crash) will rebuild itself unless it's understood. We work on both: genuine recovery now, and a more honest relationship with your capacity so the next stretch is built differently.
That usually involves looking at what masking costs you and where it's actually optional, how you say yes before checking whether you have room, and what a sustainable week looks like for your particular brain rather than a hypothetical one. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) carry much of that work.
Burnout without the ADHD dimension is covered on our burnout therapy page. If you're not sure which one you're reading about, that's a fine thing to bring to a consult.
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 can look alike and can coexist, and the difference matters for the work. Untangling depletion from low mood is something we do together early on, and either way, what you're experiencing deserves to be taken seriously, not pushed through.
Rest is necessary and usually not sufficient. If the pattern that produced the burnout (masking, overcommitting, sprint-and-crash) stays in place, the recovery tends not to hold. The work is both recovering now and rebuilding differently.
Yes. That bind is precisely the situation most people are in when they arrive. The work starts where you are, with changes sized to what your week can actually absorb.
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, often the realistic option when you're depleted. 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.
