What is psychotherapy?

 Psychotherapy is a collaborative process where skilled therapists create a safe, trusting space for individuals, couples, and families to explore their inner world, build meaningful connections and heal through vulnerablity and growth. We are trained in various theoretical models that are  proven to be effective in the support of mental health struggles, behavioural challenges, and relational distress.

Our therapists hold Master’s degrees, and are registered with the Ontario College of Social Workers and Social Service Workers and the College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario

FAQ

How can I access my therapy session?

We strive to be accessible, so sessions can be offered by telephone, secure video, or in-person.

How many sessions are needed?

For some people, a single session is all that is required, while others may attend sessions for a lengthier period of time, especially when processing complex mental health issues. The length of time is determined collaboratively by both client and therapist. 

Confidentiality

We respect the privacy of all clients and adhere to the professional and ethical standards set out by the Ontario College of Social Workers and Social Service Workers (OCSWSSW) and College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario (CRPO). Personal information that has been provided to Turning Point Counselling will be secured with the utmost of confidence and all records will be stored in compliance with the Personal Health Information Protection Act, Ontario (PHIPA).

How much do sessions cost?

Fees are determined by the therapist

Do I need a referral from my Family Physician or Nurse Practitioner?

Clients can self-refer to our Practice; however we do receive a significant number of referrals from primary health care practitioners, and other health and wellness service providers. 

Insurance coverage and direct billing

Before your first appointment, you may want to check with your insurance company about the terms and limits for your extended health benefits. More specifically, you should ensure that registered social workers and psychotherapists are covered under your plan. We will provide official receipts for you to submit to your insurance company following each session. You are also able to use your receipt for your personal medical deduction on your income tax. Some of our therapists are registered with various insurance companies and are able to do direct billing. Please let us know if you require direct billing to proceed.
