There's something a screen can't replace — being in the same room, read and understood in real time. Our in-person individual therapy pairs you with a registered psychotherapist at an Ontario office near you.
In-person individual therapy is a standing, face-to-face hour with one registered psychotherapist who gets to know you over time. Meeting in the room means nothing gets lost to a frozen screen or a dropped call — your therapist catches the pause, the shift in your voice, the thing you almost didn't say, and works with it there and then.
At Counselling Toronto — by McDowall Integrative Psychology & Healthcare — every session happens face to face with a registered psychotherapist (or closely supervised clinician) at one of our Ontario offices, and every plan starts with a free consultation so you know the fit, the approach and the cost before you commit to anything.
You don't need to be in crisis to book an in-person session. If any of these feel familiar, coming in for a free consultation is a low-pressure way to see what face-to-face support could do.
No single method fits everyone. In the room, your therapist can read what's working in real time and draw on approaches with real research behind them — adjusting to how you work best.
The most-researched talk therapy — identifies the thought and behaviour loops keeping you stuck, and replaces them with skills that hold up under stress.
Builds psychological flexibility: making room for hard feelings while moving toward what actually matters to you.
Slower, deeper work for people who want understanding and change at the level of feelings, not just habits.
Tell us what's going on and what you're hoping for. No commitment, no cost.
We match you with a registered psychotherapist who fits your needs and style.
Start weekly or bi-weekly sessions, in person in Ontario or by secure video.
In your first session, your counsellor will ask what's bringing you in, a little history, and what you'd like to get out of counselling. Together you'll set goals and agree on an approach — commonly cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), or emotion-focused approaches. Most people attend weekly or bi-weekly to start.
Master's-level clinicians under close clinical supervision — quality care at the most accessible rate.
The most popular choice for individual counselling — covered by most extended health plans.
Senior clinicians for complex or specialized work. Receipts provided for insurance.
In-person sessions are the same fee as virtual, and most extended health plans in Ontario cover registered psychotherapists — check your plan's "psychotherapist" or "mental health" coverage. OHIP does not cover psychotherapy. Your free consultation always comes first, so there are no surprises.
Warm, private offices in Toronto, Mississauga and Brampton — with evening and weekend appointments so face-to-face therapy fits a working week.
Secure, privacy-compliant video sessions with the same registered psychotherapists. Ideal for busy schedules, parents, and anyone outside Toronto.
Because we have offices in Toronto, Brampton and Mississauga, in-person therapy is realistic across most of the GTA and beyond — pick the location that's the shortest trip from home or work, and switch to secure video on the weeks getting there isn't practical.
No referral, no waitlist. Book a free consultation, or let us match you with the right counsellor in Ontario.
