Your Relationship Deserves to Feel Truly Understood

Too many LGBTQ+ couples have sat across from a therapist and spent half the session explaining their relationship structure, their identity, or why certain things matter to them. That's not therapy — that's labour. At Mantra Psychotherapy, you won't have to do that. We understand queer relationships from the inside out, and we're here to focus on what actually brought you in.

Every Kind of Partnership, Every Kind of Love

Whether you're a same-sex couple, a trans or non-binary partnership, navigating ethical non-monogamy, or polyamory — you're in the right place. We recognize that LGBTQ+ couples often face a unique set of pressures that straight couples simply don't — family rejection, community pressure, the cumulative toll of navigating a world that wasn't built for your relationship. Our work together is grounded in that understanding from the very first session.

Therapists Who Are Part of This Community

Our team includes therapists with lived LGBTQ+ experience and deep, ongoing knowledge of queer culture and relationships. This isn't a practice that added "LGBTQ+ affirming" to a website checkbox — it's woven into how we work, who we are, and the environment we've built. Whether you're working through communication breakdowns, rebuilding trust, deepening intimacy, or simply wanting a dedicated space to grow together, you don't need to reframe your experience for us. We already understand the context.

Taking the First Step Together

Starting couples therapy is a meaningful decision, and we want the process of getting there to feel as easy as possible. Your first consultation is free — a relaxed, no-pressure call where both of you can ask questions and get a feel for whether we're the right fit. Most couples have their first full session within a week of reaching out, and many tell us they wish they'd done it sooner.

Frequently Asked Questions

Find the answers to frequently asked questions below.

What should I expect in my first couples therapy session?
In your first couples therapy session, your therapist will spend time getting to know both partners through a conversational "intake" process. They will ask questions about your presenting issue(s) and explore your goals and how they can support you in reaching these goals.
Where is Mantra Psychotherapy located?
Mantra Psychotherapy is a virtual clinic, based in Toronto, Ontario. Our sessions are typically done over video call, but phone sessions can be done at the client's request.
How often should we come to therapy?
Most couples start with weekly sessions, which helps build momentum and consistency early on. As you progress, sessions often move to bi-weekly depending on your goals and where you are in the process. However, the frequency of which you schedule sessions is completely up to you.
How much does a typicaly therapy session cost?
For couples therapy sessions, our fees range from $210 to $250 per 75-minute session.
Do your therapists offer a reduced rate (e.g., sliding scale)?
Sliding scale rates can be discussed the therapist during your free 15-minute consultation. Each therapist's sliding scale fee range is different, and sliding scale fees are based on the client's financial need. Please note that therapists typically have a fixed number of sliding scale slots.
How are sessions conducted?
Our sessions are typically done over video call, but phone sessions can be done at the client's request. We do not offer in-person services at this time.
What platform do you use for sessions?
We use Jane App for all of our virtual therapy sessions. Jane App is a secure telehealth platform that is healthcare (PHIPA) compliant.
Are your services covered by insurance?
Most often, yes. Since our all of our therapists are registered with the College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario (CRPO) or the Ontario College of Social Workers and Social Service Workers (OCSWSSW), their services are usually covered by extended health insurance plans. However, we always advise you to check your specific plan to ensure that the therapist you choose to work with is covered.
