Thoughtful therapy for the life you are building.

It's a relaxed 15-minute call, phone or video, whatever feels easier. We say hello, you share a little about what's bringing you in, and you can ask anything. There's no pressure to book ongoing sessions; it's simply a chance to feel out whether we're a good fit.

Often, yes. All our therapists direct bill Sun Life and Green Shield Canada, and our Registered Psychotherapists also direct bill many other insurers, including Manulife, Canada Life and Desjardins. Which insurers depends on your therapist, so ask at your consultation. For any plan we cannot bill directly, you receive a detailed receipt to submit for reimbursement. Your first step is always a free 15-minute consultation. You can see current session fees on our fees and insurance page.

EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is a structured, evidence-based therapy designed to help the brain reprocess memories that still feel distressing. Something worth sharing: everyone experiences trauma. We tend to picture trauma as the 'big-T' events, an accident, an assault, a sudden loss, but so much of what weighs on us is 'small-t' trauma: the quieter, accumulated hurts, the times we felt unsafe, unseen, or not quite enough. Both kinds can leave a real imprint on the nervous system. Using gentle side-to-side stimulation while you briefly hold a memory in mind, EMDR aims to help your brain reprocess what it's been holding; the memory stays, and for many people the distress around it eases. We always move at a pace that feels safe, building steadiness before we ever touch anything painful.

There's no fixed answer; it depends on what you're working through and what you're hoping for. Some people come for a focused stretch of a few months; others stay longer for deeper work. We'll check in regularly about what's helping, and you're always in charge of the pace and the length.

Both. We see clients in person in North York at 1100 Sheppard Ave East, Unit 407 (near Leslie and Sheppard), and virtually anywhere in Ontario. Many people mix the two depending on their week.

Yes. What you share is private and protected, within the standard legal and ethical limits we'll always be transparent about. Reaching out costs nothing and commits you to nothing.
