Therapy Toronto: Psychotherapy Self-referral Service for Toronto and the GTA

Free consultations to find the right therapist for you!

Happy and Healthy

The single most important factor in starting a successful therapy is your sense of 'fit' and comfort.

That's why we provide such a wide range of approaches, styles, personalities, temperaments, experience, and training.

Consultations are free and without charge for individuals seeking therapy as part of our own contribution to society. Therapists may use their discretion regarding free consultations for couples or families.

What is a free consultation?

An individual consultation is your opportunity to clarify your needs and goals and to find out if the therapist you are talking with is right for you; it is not a therapy session. It lasts 30-45 minutes, face-to-face, in person or online. It's a time to ask questions and discuss the process of psychotherapy, experience, training, credentials, times, fees, and related matters.

We have found from long experience that important questions like these are best asked, and answered, face-to-face. You will then be able to assess the therapist's ability to understand your personal concerns, and to provide a meaningful response. You will know how the 'fit' feels with that therapist.

Please note that psychotherapy is not covered by the Ontario Health Insurance Plan (OHIP). Some insurance and benefits programs may cover your therapy, but this depends on your plan which you should check before you start. Ask the therapist if you are unclear whether they qualify under your coverage. Also be aware that in most cases you will have to pay for therapy directly even if you get repaid later by your insurance.
