Ontario Therapy

Virtual Therapy Across Ontario

Mantra Psychotherapy provides virtual therapy across Ontario — including smaller communities and rural areas where specialized care can be hard to find nearby. The therapists on our team also bring LGBTQ2IA+ affirming training and lived experience, support that's often limited to a handful of major cities. Sessions are secure and PHIPA-compliant, delivered through Jane App. Most extended health plans cover the cost.

You Don't Need to Wait for a Crisis

There's no perfect moment to start therapy, and no minimum bar you need to clear first — no crisis, no diagnosis, no polished explanation for why now. If something's not sitting right with you and you can't figure it out on your own, that's reason enough. Most people don't feel fully ready when they reach out, and that's normal — showing up with uncertainty still counts. And it doesn't matter whether you're in downtown Toronto or a small town a few hours north: Mantra Psychotherapy offers the same registered, evidence-based care wherever you're starting from.

You Don't Need a Tidy Explanation

Clients come to us with all kinds of things — anxiety that won't ease up, relationships that feel stuck, trauma that resurfaces without warning, identity questions, or just a sense that something needs to shift. You don't need a tidy explanation or a fixed agenda for your first session; most people don't have one, and that's completely fine. Whatever you're carrying, chances are our team has sat with something similar before. We'll help you find the thread together, one conversation at a time.

Your Postal Code Doesn't Limit Your Options

Whether you're in downtown Toronto, a suburb an hour outside the city, or a small town without a single specialized therapist nearby, our sessions work exactly the same way — entirely virtual, with no commute and no waiting room. All you need is 50 minutes and a private space. That access matters most for people outside major cities, where finding a therapist who's the right fit, let alone LGBTQ2IA+ affirming, can otherwise mean a long drive or a long wait. The quality of care doesn't change based on your address.

Finding the Right Fit Starts Here

Not every therapist is the right fit for every person, and matching shouldn't be left to chance. Our team covers a wide range of areas. That includes anxiety, trauma, self-esteem, relationships, identity, LGBTQ2IA+-specific concerns, neurodivergence, and depression, among others. Fill out our Therapist Matching Form and tell us a bit about what you're looking for. We'll pair you with someone whose approach and expertise actually line up with your needs, no matter where in Ontario you're located.

It Starts With a Free Consultation

There's no cost and no pressure attached to your first call — just fifteen minutes to ask questions, talk a little about what's going on, and see if it feels like the right fit before you commit to anything. Most people are in their first full session within a week of that first call. And if it helps to know: for a lot of clients, that initial call is the part that felt hardest — and whatever comes next, you won't be doing it solo. Reaching out is often the biggest step of the whole process. If you'd like to decide on a therapist for yourself, book a free consultation to get started.

How it works

What to Expect When Starting Therapy

We believe the therapeutic journey should feel as comfortable as possible — here's what that looks like.

Final Session — Closing the Chapter

Endings in therapy are treated with the same care as everything else. Your last session is an opportunity to reflect on how far you've come, celebrate your growth, and make sure you feel equipped to carry what you've learned forward. The aim of the final session is to be a thoughtful, intentional close that honours the work you've done.

Sessions 3 & Beyond — Doing the Work

This is where the real momentum begins. With a strong therapeutic relationship in place, you and your therapist will start working more deeply — exploring patterns, building skills, and working toward the goals you've set together. Every person's journey looks different here, and your therapist will continuously adapt the approach to meet your evolving needs. Progress isn't always linear, and that's okay — this space is designed to hold all of it.

Sessions 1 & 2 — Getting to Know You

Your first sessions are all about building a foundation. Your therapist will take time to understand your history, your goals, and what you're hoping to get out of therapy. You won't be pushed to dive into anything before you're ready. These sessions are about establishing trust, setting the tone, and making sure the direction of your work together feels right for you.

Your Initial Consultation — Free 15 Minute Call

This is a no-pressure conversation where you and the therapist get to know each other. You'll have the chance to share a little about what's bringing you to therapy, ask questions, and get a feel for whether you might be a good fit. There's no expectation to share everything — this is simply about making sure you feel comfortable before you begin.

How much does a typical therapy session cost?
For individual (1 on 1) therapy sessions, our fees range from $130 to $175 per 50-minute session. For couples/partners therapy sessions, our fees range from $210 to $250 per 75-minute session.

What should I expect in my first therapy session?
In your first session, your therapist will spend time getting to know you and your history. They will ask questions about your presenting issue(s) and explore your goals and how they can support you in reaching these goals.
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.
Do you offer direct billing to insurance?
Some of our therapists can offer direct billing to certain insurance providers. However, most therapists collect payment via e-transfer or credit card, and a receipt is given for you to submit to your insurance provider.
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.
