Proudly supporting First Responders and their families across Ontario since 2016. Our uniquely skilled therapists will help you and yours approach, process and resolve issues of PTSD, burnout, grief and loss, relationship and family issues.

Trauma makes it easy to get lost in the whirlwind of negative thoughts and emotions. The numbness can rob you of hope. Fear and isolation can slowly erode your emotional support network. And painful reminders, memories, and triggers keep you stuck in the past.

Anxiety can rob you from the life you wish to live. At times, you may experience racing thoughts, increased heart rate, panic attacks, disrupted sleep and other uncomfortable symptoms that make functioning hard. The Therapy Team is here to assist you in reducing your symptoms helping you feel more like yourself again.

Neurofeedback

Neurofeedback is a training that helps “rewire” your brain and teach it to regulate itself thereby healing chronic symptoms that are often difficult to resolve. Neurofeedback has proven to be useful in treating childhood trauma, ADHD, anxiety, depression, sleep disorders, migraines and head injuries.

Intern Therapy Program

Navigating the teenage years both as a teen or a parent can be challenging. The Therapy Team is dedicated to helping parents and teens create a more meaningful and connected life. Some of the issues we often work with are bullying, cutting/self harm, anxiety, depression, sleep disruption and low self esteem.

New To Therapy? Not Sure What To Expect?

We offer a free 15-minute phone consultation to help you see if it’s a good fit. Each session thereafter is a personal exchange with your therapist addressing the issues you have determined to be of most concern. This could involve discussing events which have recently transpired or those you have been struggling with for some time.

Consider The Benefits of Online Therapy:

1. Travel Time & Parking Costs.

The drive or public transit to a therapist could easily take up to an hour each way through city traffic. Add the costs of parking and it is easy to see the value and convenience of logging on from the comfort of home or mobile phone.

2. Who’s watching the kids?

Parents with children home for one reason or another or couples wanting to have therapy together can now visit their therapist with out having to worry about arranging for a sitter.

3. Your comfort level.

Having the comfort of home as part of your established therapeutic routine can help promote personal safety, ease of vulnerability and ability to sustain the real work that therapy is.

We are currently online and ready to support you from the comfort of your own home!

Frequently Asked Questions

Throughout the pandemic online therapy has proven to be equally as effective as in person sessions. For many, the lack of travel and time associated with in person appointments has been an asset to continue online therapy.

Fees for private psychotherapy are not covered by OHIP however, many extended health insurance plans cover psychotherapy.

You are responsible for payment and can seek reimbursement from your insurance provider using the receipts we provide at the end of every session. At this time, we are not able to bill your insurance directly.

No two people are alike and therefore it is impossible to predict the amount of sessions needed to make meaningful changes. In general, if you have limited funds available for therapy please notify your therapist and he/she will assist you in achieving the most out of your sessions by setting realistic goals at the start of your sessions.

Each person’s extended benefits plan varies. We recommend you check with your specific insurance provider to insure that our services are covered under your plan. There are several questions we recommend asking your provider:

1) Do I have mental health coverage benefits? If yes, under what discipline can I claim under?

2) What is my deductible and has it been met?

3) How many sessions per year does my plan cover?

4) What is the coverage amount per therapy session?

5) Is a referral from my family doctor required?

6) Does my provider allow for supervised practice therapists to provide the services?

Please note that you are responsible for payment of sessions and can use the receipts we provide to obtain reimbursement from your provider.
