What to Expect
Meet and Greet: Your First Psychotherapy Consultation
our journey begins with a meet-and-greet consultation. This first session focuses on understanding your physical and emotional well-being, your reasons for seeking psychotherapy in Mississauga, and the goals you hope to achieve. Together, you and your therapist will shape a personalized treatment plan tailored to your unique needs.
Building trust and comfort is our top priority. If the therapist you meet isn’t the right match, we will gladly help you connect with another qualified professional. Your preferences always guide the process so that you receive the support you deserve.
Duration and Frequency of Psychotherapy Sessions
Most clients attend weekly 50-minute psychotherapy sessions to maintain consistency and encourage steady progress. During your initial consultation, you and your therapist will agree on a schedule that works for you — whether that means weekly, bi-weekly, or flexible appointments.
We understand that life can be unpredictable. If you need to reschedule, we will work with you to find a practical solution that keeps your psychotherapy in Mississauga on track.
Setting a regular time and day can build routine and support progress. While steady attendance helps, we understand life can be unpredictable. In such cases, we will work with you to find practical solutions.
Private Health Insurance and Coverage for Therapy in Mississauga
Before your sessions begin, it’s a good idea to contact your insurance provider to confirm coverage details. Our clinic accepts many major plans, including Blue Cross, Great-West Life, Manulife, and Sun Life. For added convenience, we offer direct billing with Canada Life, Blue Cross, and Green Shield.
Knowing the details of your plan helps you maximize your benefits. If you have any questions, our team is here to help you navigate your coverage and make the process as smooth as possible.
Fees and Payment for Psychotherapy Services
In Ontario, psychotherapy is not covered by OHIP unless provided by a psychiatrist or family doctor. At Prime Psychotherapy, our fees reflect standard mid-range rates in the Greater Toronto Area, and HST is not applied to our services.
Your therapist will review all fees with you during the intake session and provide updates if any changes occur. We’re committed to keeping therapy affordable and transparent, and we encourage you to discuss any concerns about costs or billing with our team.
Taking the first step toward improved mental health is a courageous decision. Whether you’re seeking support for anxiety, depression, trauma, or personal growth, therapy in Mississauga can help you move forward with clarity and confidence.

How to Pay
Payment is due after each session. You will receive a receipt right away, which you can keep for insurance claims or tax purposes. If you need reimbursement, submit the receipt to your insurer after each session.
You can pay with cash, credit, debit, e-transfer, or check. Our goal is to make payments simple and transparent. If you have questions about receipts or methods, we are happy to help.
