While our Orillia services are not covered under OHIP (Ontario Health Insurance Plan), many clients find that their extended health benefits provide coverage for sessions with our qualified therapists. We recommend that clients review their individual insurance policies or contact their insurance providers directly to inquire about coverage for mental health services.
It’s essential to check if services provided by a Registered Psychotherapist or Registered Social Worker are included in your specific plan, as coverage can vary greatly depending on the insurance provider and the selected policy.

Some individuals find significant relief and progress after a few sessions, while others benefit from longer-term support to address more complex issues and achieve their therapeutic goals.
We will work collaboratively to assess your needs, set objectives, and evaluate your progress regularly.

Seeking help when we are feeling down or facing challenges is a crucial step, and that’s where psychotherapy comes in. This type of support involves talking to a trained professional, like a therapist or counsellor, who can help you sort through your feelings, thoughts, and behaviours. Here’s a look at the various ways engaging in therapy can be beneficial:
Understanding Your Feelings: In psychotherapy, the therapist aids you in exploring and understanding your emotions. They listen, provide insights, and help unravel the complexities of what you’re feeling.
Solving Problems: Whether you’re dealing with issues at school, work, or home, therapy offers a space to find practical solutions. A counsellor can guide you through problem-solving strategies tailored to your specific situation.
Handling Emotions: Therapy isn’t just about addressing problems; it’s also about managing emotions. Psychotherapists provide tools and strategies to help you handle your emotions, making them less overwhelming.
Improving Relationships: Counselling can be instrumental in enhancing your relationships. By working with a counsellor, you’ll explore ways to communicate and connect more effectively with others.
Boosting Self-Esteem: A positive self-image is integral to our well-being. In therapy, psychotherapists work with you to build your confidence and help you see your self-worth.
Coping with Stress: Stress is a part of life, but managing it can sometimes be challenging. Therapy equips you with tools and techniques to mitigate stress and anxiety effectively.
Dealing with Trauma: If you have experienced a traumatic event, a therapist creates a safe and supportive environment where you can process these experiences and embark on a healing journey.
In essence, these services provide a supportive environment where you can openly express yourself, explore your challenges, and work towards a path of healing and self-discovery. The journey with a therapist or counsellor is personal and tailored, ensuring your unique needs and goals are at the forefront of every session.
