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
Deadlines still get met and nobody has noticed anything is wrong. Burnout often looks like competence right up until it doesn't.
Close to half an hour down the 417 each way, more at rush hour, turns a 50-minute session into a two-hour round trip. Virtual removes that entirely, and it's how many people in this part of the city prefer to work.
Fewer people, more screens, and a working week that can pass without a real conversation. The isolation creeps up on people who never considered themselves isolated.
For many Kanata clients, secure video is a genuine preference rather than a compromise. A session between meetings, from home or a booked room at the office, removes a round trip of close to an hour.
When in person matters, the Centrepointe office is a straightforward run east on the 417 and outside the downtown core — around twenty-five to thirty minutes outside of rush hour, and longer when the 417 backs up.
What people bring us from Kanata is often burnout, anxiety, sleep that has stopped working, perfectionism and overthinking, and the sense of being high-functioning and quietly depleted. We also work with couples where one or both partners are in demanding roles. Our therapists draw on evidence-based approaches such as CBT and acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), adapting to what you bring rather than applying a fixed protocol.
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
Most of our Kanata clients work with us by secure video, which is available anywhere in Ontario. In-person sessions are at our Centrepointe office, a straightforward run east on the 417 and outside the downtown core.
It is about 15 kilometres, which is roughly twenty-five to thirty minutes outside of rush hour and can approach an hour when the 417 backs up. That round trip is why most Kanata clients choose video.
Yes. Burnout, chronic stress, sleep that has stopped working, and perfectionism are among the most common things Kanata clients bring. Burnout often arrives late, after months of functioning well enough that nobody noticed.
Sessions 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.
Many extended health and workplace plans cover psychotherapy, though they differ on whether they reimburse Registered Psychotherapists, Registered Social Workers, or both. It is worth checking which credential your plan names before booking. Psychotherapy is not covered by OHIP.
Yes, and it is common. A video session between meetings, from home or a booked room at the office, removes the travel entirely. Our hours run 8am to 8pm, seven days a week, with individual therapists setting their availability within that.
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 check your policy.
Sessions are held over a secure video platform, and the same confidentiality obligations apply as they would in the room. Your therapist will explain the limits of confidentiality at the start, including the specific situations where Ontario law requires disclosure.
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. Scheduling around two demanding roles is part of why many couples here work with us by video. Common themes include distance that has built up during busy stretches, and conversations that have narrowed to logistics.
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.
