We provide affordable psychotherapy that is trauma-focused, culturally informed, LGBTQ+ allied, and neurodivergent-affirming. Services are offered in both English and French, available in-person in downtown Ottawa or virtually across Ontario and Quebec. We support adults, youth (ages 5–18), and families.
Offering plenty of reduced-cost therapy options, free 30-minute video consultations, and reimbursement through most insurance plans, we’re here to make starting your therapy journey as seamless as possible.
We are a teaching clinic!
Therapy sessions are conducted by graduate-student therapist interns completing the final year of their master's degree in Counselling Psychology. Therapist interns work under the direct supervision of both a psychotherapist and a psychologist, and many offer long-term therapy as they are beginning their careers. Working with our therapist interns offers you affordable, professional support, all while contributing to the growth of future Registered Psychotherapists as they work towards licensure.

Individuals on the waitlist will be notified as soon as a slot becomes available, and we strive to minimize wait times whenever possible.
