How do I start therapy?

Fill out our online form, call, or email to connect with our Intake Coordinator. They’ll answer questions and match you with a therapist—no referral needed.

What happens during the call with the intake coordinator?

We’ll talk about your needs, find the right therapist for you, review fees and payment options, and schedule your first session.

How much does therapy cost?

Sessions typically range from $160 to $250 depending on therapist credentials and session type (individual, couple, family, consultation).

Are fees covered by insurance?

Many extended health plans, workers compensation (e.g., WSIB), or auto insurance may cover services. Provincial plans do not.

Do you direct bill to insurance companies?

If your insurer allows it, we can offer direct billing. Otherwise, you’ll pay upfront and submit claims to your insurer for reimbursement.

Are services confidential?

Yes. Sessions are confidential, following Canadian privacy laws and professional standards. We only disclose information when legally or ethically required.

How do I find the right therapist?

During your first session (or a 15-minute consult), you can see if the therapist feels like a good fit and adjust if needed.

Research shows that most people experience relief and improved daily functioning after about 6–8 weekly sessions.

See Video Introduction at bottom of page.

You’ve been doing your best to hold everything together, even when life feels overwhelming, or off-track. You’re capable and self-aware, yet things may still feel stuck or not shifting the way you hoped. It’s easy to try to think your way through challenges, but logic alone doesn’t always reach the deeper parts of yourself. Sometimes, something inside feels guarded or quiet or like old patterns are leaving you stuck in cycles. You want to change but feel unsure where to start. Guess what? You don’t have to take this on alone!

I’m here to walk alongside you, listening, supporting, and guiding you to reconnect with yourself so you can move forward with clarity and confidence.

Together, we can:

Slow things down and be curious about your experiences -without judgement but with compassion.
Identify and build practical tools, including strategies you may already be using without realizing it.
Reconnect with all parts of yourself and feel grounded in your values, strengths, and build trust with yourself to help create the life you want.

If you’re ready, hit the Get Started Now button and ask for Christine, we’ll connect and begin your journey together.
