Affordable Psychotherapy in Ontario: What to Expect and Why it’s Needed

Affordable Psychotherapy in Ontario

Mental health plays a crucial role in our well-being and impacts a variety of life areas

including personal relationships, work, school as well as overall health. One of the

common barriers to accessing mental health supports can often be the high cost of therapy. We are here to help reduce this barrier. Options for affordable therapy in Ontario are available here and can help you change your life for the better! 


Our therapists at
CBT Wellness and Virtual Services are pleased to offer Affordable Psychotherapy in Ontario.


What does this mean?

  • We will not turn anyone away due to cost
  • We will work with you to determine a rate based on your income & life circumstances
  • Sliding scale rates range from $20-$100
  • Limited probono (free) therapy is also available


Why is affordable therapy in Ontario important?

Mental health, just like addiction does not discriminate – which means anyone

can face hardship in relation to those areas no matter their age, gender, social

status or life experiences. Everyone also deserves to have equitable access to

supportive, skilled and non-judgemental professionals who can guide them with

compassion and care – without having to worry about the high costs.


How can affordable therapy in Ontario help you?

  • Gain a deeper understanding of self (including your thoughts, feelings and

behaviours)

  • Develop sustainable & healthy coping strategies for anxiety, depression & addiction or any other challenges you might be facing
  • Better your relationships (communication, conflict resolution, setting boundaries)
  • Improve your self-esteem
  • Address trauma in a safe and comfortable environment


You can also focus on any individual goals that you may have with your therapist and

develop personalized treatment plans!


What can you expect when you book a session?

  • Consultation Call – If you would like, a therapist will meet with you for a free 15 minute consultation to discuss your presenting concerns, share about their services and determine whether you would be a good fit for each other.
  • Initial Assessment – Together with your therapist you can explore what brings you to therapy, what your concerns are and what would you like to focus on. Usually, this step involves information gathering and questions so that the therapist can best support you moving forward.
  • Collaboration & Non-judgemental Approach – Therapists are there to provide support, guidance and a safe space for you. They are not there to judge or give advice (but will offer practical tips and recommendations). You are the expert of your life and the therapist is there to share helpful tools that you can implement!
  • Techniques rooted in Evidence Based Practice – Every therapist has an approach that they use in helping you achieve emotional well-being, including but not limited to CBT, DBT, Narrative Therapy and Solution Focused Therapy.


You deserve the healing. You deserve wellness. It is important to prioritize your mental health and you don’t have to do it alone!


The clinicians at CBT Wellness and Virtual Services are proud to be able to provide affordable therapy in Ontario to ensure that noone is being turned away from getting the support that they need.
