Public Psychotherapist Resources

//To whom it may concern,

#What is this
Below is a list of resources for affordable psychosocial services in Ontario, Canada. These people are paid to listen to you and help you.

#Pricing
The cost ranges from 70-150 CAD per session (by hour) and is usually scheduled once a week.

#Proceure
You have to call for an interview. Afterward, you will receive a call back when they match you with someone. You can choose a therapist quicker than a family doctor (Ontario, 2024).

Some are final-year students graduating, and their cases will be supervised and monitored so they can have input on treatment plans. And this makes their service cheaper. Some services request in-person attendance; others can be remote.

This one below includes a mixed bag of psychosocial services (different competency levels). However, some are covered by OHIP (pre-2022, post-2022; Doug Ford changed OHIP plans; YMMV).

Lastly, interview as many as possible and find the one who fits you. Don't be afraid to change therapists.

Best of luck and Best Wishes.
