Prefer face to face, but want the option of video some weeks? You can have both. Start in person at an Ontario office near you and switch to secure video whenever life needs it — same therapist either way.
This practice is built around in-person therapy at our Ontario offices — but life isn't always in-person-friendly. So every registered psychotherapist here also offers secure video, letting you meet face to face most weeks and switch to online on the weeks a commute isn't realistic, all without changing therapists.
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.
Privacy-compliant platforms, never consumer apps; your therapist meets you from a private room and nothing is recorded.
CBT, EFT, trauma-informed work — the modality doesn't change with the medium, and research shows comparable outcomes.
Video most weeks, in person when it suits; switch anytime without changing therapists.
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.
Booking works exactly like in-person: free consultation first, then a secure video link for each session. Your therapist will help you set up a private, comfortable space on your end. Many clients mix formats — video most weeks, in person in Ontario when it suits.
Master's-level clinicians under close clinical supervision — quality care at the most accessible rate.
The most popular choice for online 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.
