04 · Virtual Therapy
Real therapy,
from your own space.
Secure video sessions anywhere in Ontario. All the depth and clinical rigor of in-person therapy, delivered from wherever you can find a quiet hour: your home, your office, a parked car if that's what the day allows.
What It Is
The same work, different container.
Virtual therapy isn't a lesser version of in-person therapy. It's a different format that trades proximity for accessibility. For the right clients, the trade is worth it. The relationship, the attention, the clinical work: all of that carries across the screen.
Who it works well for
Parents in the middle of young kids and no extra hour. Shift workers whose schedules don't map to a 9-to-5 office. Clients living outside Toronto, anywhere in Ontario. Clients who travel for work. Clients recovering from illness or injury. Anyone whose life makes the commute to an office the obstacle between them and doing the work.
What you need
A private room. A reliable internet connection. A computer, tablet, or phone with a camera. Headphones help. A closed door matters more than the quality of the camera.
Platform and privacy
Sessions are held on a secure, PHIPA-compliant video platform. A link is sent before each session. No recording, no transcripts, nothing stored on the platform. Same confidentiality rules as in-person therapy.
Presence travels
One thing the Ignatian tradition leaves you with: attention isn't bound to a place. The therapy room is wherever two people bring real presence to an hour. The format changes; the work doesn't. If you can protect the hour, the work can happen.

A note on location
Ontario regulations require that clients be physically located in Ontario during a session. If you're travelling temporarily outside the province (even for a week), please reach out before scheduling. Ongoing care for clients living full-time outside Ontario is not something our therapists are able to offer under CRPO regulations.
Fees and insurance
Fees vary by service. Please reach out for current rates. Most extended health benefit plans in Ontario cover psychotherapy provided by a Registered Psychotherapist. Receipts are issued for every session; reimbursement depends on your specific plan.
Getting the Most Out of It
Virtual therapy, done well.
Protect the hour
Treat the session like an in-person appointment. Block the calendar, close other tabs, put the phone on Do Not Disturb, let the people around you know you need an uninterrupted hour.
Find a private spot
A room with a door that closes. If home doesn't offer that, a parked car is a surprisingly common option: private, quiet, and predictable.
Camera on, lens clean
Faces matter, even over video. A clean lens and reasonable lighting (a window in front of you, not behind) makes the work easier.
Keep water nearby
Small thing, big difference. Therapy asks something of you; having a glass of water helps you stay present.
