Beginning therapy makes most of us feel vulnerable as adults, let alone feeling increasingly vulnerable when bringing in children. This is why I incorporate a play-based approach in my practice when building a safe and comfortable therapeutic relationship, before navigating the challenges you are experiencing. I support children and families through challenges such as grief and loss, palliative and terminal illness, trauma, adolescence transitions, behavioural and emotional needs, and attachment-related concerns. Additionally, I meet with adults experiencing palliative diagnoses, and death and dying.

Your child is struggling — and it’s breaking your heart. Maybe they’re anxious, overwhelmed, angry, or just not themselves anymore. You’re trying everything, but nothing seems to help. You’re getting calls from school, watching their confidence fade, and wondering where your joyful child went. There’s almost nothing harder than watching your child hurt and feeling helpless. If you’re here, you’re already doing the most important thing: reaching out. You don’t have to do this alone — support is possible, and so is healing.

On the outside, it probably looks like you have it all together. You always power through, show up for everyone else, and make it happen—because that’s just what you do. The show must go on, right? But nobody really sees how much harder it’s getting, or how close you are to burning out. Maybe you’re here, scrolling through profiles because constantly pushing through life has left you feeling directionless, numb, or overwhelmed—and you’re not sure how to get unstuck. Taking a step toward change is courageous, and this time, you deserve to prioritize yourself. Support is here when you’re ready; you don’t have to go through this alone.

I believe in the innate capacity of each person to heal when provided with the right guidance and support. This is why I prioritize the therapeutic alliance. The therapeutic alliance serves as a safe, steady anchor while you do the hard work of addressing old wounds and developing new, adaptive ways of coping. I work to build that strong, trusting relationship with each of my clients because it is the foundation for everything we do together. When you feel safe and supported, you are more likely to tap into your own inner resources and move through the healing process in a way that feels both empowering and sustainable.

Is everyone in the Psychology Today Therapy Directory a licensed therapist?

Most Counsellors and Psychotherapists listed in the directory are certified by one of the main professional associations, mainly the Canadian Counselling and Psychotherapy Association (CCPA), and will have a Certified Canadian Counsellor (CCC) designation with their name. Social Workers listed in the directory must be registered members of the college specific to their province. To be listed in the directory, Psychologists must be registered with the psychological college specific to their province or territory.

Providers whose professional membership or primary credential has been verified by Psychology Today are signified by a “Verified” symbol. Given the considerable variation in professional regulation and prerequisites across Canadian provinces, some providers may possess significant professional qualifications without necessarily holding professional memberships or being obliged to acquire them. As a result, they may be selectively included without the "Verified" seal.

What’s the difference between a psychologist, a therapist, and a counsellor?

Psychologists, counsellors, psychotherapists and social workers can all provide counselling or talking therapy and have credentials and supervised, practical experience that enable them to do so in Canada.

Psychologists have a master's and/or doctoral degree and have passed both written and oral exams. Psychologists are able to complete mental health assessments and provide diagnostic information to clients as well as provide counselling therapy or psychotherapy. Counsellors and psychotherapists are expected to have a master's or doctoral degree in counselling psychology, social work, or a related mental health discipline and certification by a professional association, such as the Canadian Counselling and Psychotherapy Association. Registered Social Workers possess a Bachelor's or Master's degree in Social Work and where possible must be licensed or certified by the provincial government and/or regulatory college.

What type of therapy is right for me?

The type of therapy best suited to a particular individual depends on several factors, including their primary reason for seeking therapy, their preferred timeline (some therapy types last for a set number of sessions, while others are open-ended), and their personality and preferences—some may prefer a more structured approach. For many individuals, multiple types of therapy could provide a good fit.

How much does therapy cost?

The cost of therapy depends on a number of variables, including location and the therapist’s experience and training. On average, the cost of a therapy session in Canada could be between $100 and $200. If you have insurance, the expense of mental health care is typically lower, but it varies based on your insurance plan details and whether you choose an in-network or out-of-network mental healthcare provider.

What are more affordable or low cost therapy solutions?

Many therapists offer sliding scale payments, usually on a limited number of slots, which consists in an agreement between the therapist and a client to pay a reduced rate. Therapists who provide such arrangements often consider the client's income or ability to pay, but the extent of the discount is ultimately at the therapist's discretion. Furthermore, while group therapy may have different goals and benefits compared to individual therapy, it can be a more affordable solution to address certain types of issues.

If you are struggling to access therapy due to budget constraints, you could also consider public funded mental health services. Some types of outpatient mental health services are covered by Medicare, provided these are performed by a licensed mental health professional in the provinces or territory you reside in and who accepts the assignment.

Is online therapy cheaper than in-person therapy?

Many therapists charge the same amount for online therapy as they do for in-person therapy—though clients may still find this cost-effective if it cuts down on their transportation costs. Health insurance plans often offer equivalent coverage for online and in-person therapy; indeed, in many places, they are legally required to do so. Text-based or on-demand therapy apps may be cheaper than traditional one-on-one psychotherapy; however, the practice may be less effective and is not likely to be covered by insurance.

Is online therapy a good option?

Therapy conducted online can be just as effective as in-person therapy, as long as there is a strong alliance between the client and the therapist. To find a therapist who provides telehealth services to clients in your area, click “Online Therapy” on the directory homepage and search by your city or town or your postal code.

Are therapy sessions confidential?

Professionals licensed by regulatory colleges and those certified by associations such as the Canadian Counselling and Psychotherapy Association are obligated to uphold client confidentiality unless there is a legal reason that requires them to disclose information. Confidentiality is a crucial part of the therapeutic relationship and only under specific circumstances, such as when there is the potential or known harm to the client or others, or a court order, will a therapist be obligated to break the agreement. These exceptions to the confidentiality agreement are usually discussed during the initial consultation.
