Online counselling in Ontario

Our goal is to make therapy accessible to everyone in Ontario. Virtual therapy has multiple benefits. 

• It is ideal when you want to work with someone outside of your geographical area
• Ideal if you need to be home with children or dependents
• No access to transportation
• Saving time and money on transportation
• COVID-19 restriction/ limitations
• Feeling more comfortable seeking therapy from the comfort of your own home 

With online therapy you will get the same quality therapy as face-to-face counselling. Multiple research has shown that virtual therapy has the same benefits as in-person sessions. You will get the same guidance and support when seeing us as an individual, as a couple, or as a family. It is highly beneficial for those who feels uncomfortable in a new space or opening up in a new environment.
