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.
A few reasons people from this part of the city end up here.
FOR WHEN SOMETHING FEELS OFF
Centrepointe is a straight run up Greenbank, with parking on site, and video is often the more realistic option week to week.
When the evenings belong to small children, the realistic options are a weekday session near work or a virtual one after bedtime. Both exist here.
New house, good job, healthy kids — and a persistent sense of running on empty. That's a common reason people start, and it's reason enough.
Our office is at Centrepointe, a little over twenty minutes from Barrhaven Town Centre straight up Greenbank or Woodroffe. That's not nothing, but it's a straightforward trip, and there's parking on site.
The other half of the answer is virtual. Many clients mix in-person and secure video sessions, particularly during the stretch of life when a sitter is the hard part. You're not locked into one format, and you can move between them week to week.
People come to us from this end of the city for anxiety, low mood, burnout, parenting strain, and relationship difficulties. If you're not sure who to see, the free 15-minute consult is a conversation with a person about what's been going on, and we suggest who on the team is likely to fit.
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
Our office is at 1 Centrepointe Drive, an easy trip from Barrhaven — a straight run up Greenbank or Woodroffe without going near the downtown core. We also see Barrhaven clients by secure video anywhere in Ontario.
It is about 12 kilometres from Barrhaven Town Centre, which is a little over twenty minutes in normal traffic and longer at rush hour. It is closer from the north end of Barrhaven and a bit further from Half Moon Bay.
Sessions at Auren Wellness start at $175, depending on the therapist you see. Sliding-scale spots are available with select therapists, and we direct bill where your insurer allows. Fees are confirmed at your free 15-minute consult.
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.
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.
Our hours run Monday to Sunday, 8am to 8pm, though individual therapists set their own availability within that. Evening slots are often the practical option for parents, and you can ask about them at the consult.
Yes. Secure video sessions are available anywhere in Ontario, and many Barrhaven clients mix the two — some sessions in person, some by video during stretches when childcare is the hard part. You are not locked into one format.
We usually respond the same day during business hours, and the free 15-minute consult can often be arranged within a few days. Timing for a first full session depends on which therapist you are matched with.
Yes. Several therapists on the team work with children and adolescents, with the approach adapted to age. Parents usually start with the consult so we can match your child with someone suited to their age and what they are working through.
The free 15-minute consult exists for this. It is a conversation with a person about what has been going on, after which we suggest who on the team is likely to be a good fit. There is no obligation to book after it.
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.
