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
If video calls leave you distracted or a step removed, being in the room together can make the work feel more real and more focused.
Roommates, family, thin walls. If there's nowhere at home you can speak freely, a dedicated office gives you a space that's genuinely yours for the hour.
Leaving home, arriving, sitting down, that small journey can help mark the time as yours and make it easier to be present.
In-person therapy at Auren Wellness takes place in a calm, private office designed to feel comfortable rather than clinical. You meet with your Registered Psychotherapist or Registered Social Worker for a 50-minute session, at a regular time that works for you.
The work itself is the same careful, collaborative, evidence-based therapy we offer online, the difference is simply the setting. Many people find that a consistent physical space, away from the demands and distractions of home, helps them arrive more fully and go a little deeper. Others like to mix in-person and virtual sessions depending on the week, which is easy to do here.
You can start with a free 15-minute consult by phone or video, then book your first in-person session from there.
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.
