In your sessions, you and your therapist will work together to clarify what you would like to change or improve in your life. You’ll explore patterns in thoughts, feelings, and behaviors while developing practical coping strategies you can use between sessions.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does individual therapy cost in Mississauga?
Session fees vary depending on the therapist and type of service, and we don't publish a flat rate since pricing can depend on your specific needs. The best way to get an exact figure is our free 15-minute consultation, where we can also walk through insurance and direct billing options that may reduce your out-of-pocket cost.
Is therapy covered by OHIP in Ontario?
OHIP covers mental health services provided by psychiatrists (medical doctors), but it does not cover sessions with Registered Psychotherapists. Many extended health benefit plans do include coverage for Registered Psychotherapist services — we regularly work with Sun Life, Manulife, Canada Life, Blue Cross, and Green Shield. We recommend checking your specific plan for details before your first session.
What's a red flag to watch for in a therapist?
A good therapeutic fit matters. Signs it may not be the right match include feeling judged rather than supported, a therapist who doesn't listen to your goals or dismisses your concerns, inconsistent boundaries, or a lack of clear communication about their approach and your treatment plan. It's always okay to ask questions and switch therapists if something doesn't feel right.
Is virtual individual therapy available for Mississauga residents?
Yes. We offer secure virtual sessions via Jane for clients throughout Mississauga and the rest of Ontario, in addition to in-person appointments, so you can choose whichever format fits your schedule and comfort level.
Can I get a free consultation before committing to therapy?
Yes. We offer a complimentary 15-minute consultation to discuss your concerns, learn about our approach, and decide together whether we're the right fit — with no obligation to continue.
What's the difference between a psychotherapist and a psychologist?
Registered Psychotherapists (RPs) and psychologists are both regulated mental health professionals in Ontario but differ in training and scope. Psychologists typically hold a doctoral degree and can perform certain psychological assessments, while Registered Psychotherapists specialize in talk therapy and psychotherapeutic treatment. Both are qualified to provide effective, evidence-based care.
What insurance or direct billing options are available?
Most extended health benefit plans in Ontario, including Sun Life, Manulife, Canada Life, Blue Cross, and Green Shield, cover services provided by a Registered Psychotherapist. We offer direct billing with several providers to reduce paperwork, and recommend checking your specific plan's coverage details before your first session.
How do I book an individual therapy appointment in Mississauga?
You can schedule a free 15-minute consultation by calling our office, filling out the contact form on our website, or emailing us directly. We will confirm your preferred format (virtual or in-person), match you with a registered therapist, and answer any questions about insurance or direct billing before your first full session.
