Individual therapy in Ontario

Individual therapy is one-to-one work between you and a registered psychotherapist, usually in 50-minute sessions. It is the most common format therapy takes: a regular, private hour set aside to understand what is happening and to build practical ways through it.

There is no set curriculum. What you bring shapes what the sessions cover, and that changes over time as the work does.

Before booking anything you have a free 15-minute consult. It exists to work out whether this is a fit, not to start the work, and there is no obligation to book afterwards.

The first full session is mostly about getting oriented: what brought you, what has already been tried, and what you want to be different. You set the pace of what you share. Nothing has to be explained tidily, and it is quite normal to arrive without a clear account of the problem.

No referral is needed to see a Registered Psychotherapist in Ontario, and there is no waitlist.

Therapy sits beside the rest of your care rather than replacing any of it. It does not diagnose medical conditions, interpret bloodwork or advise on medication.

Where you are already working with a family doctor, a specialist, a naturopath or a functional medicine practitioner, the work here takes the part that usually has nowhere else to go: the emotional weight of managing all of it. Flora sees clients in person at Bosnar Health, an integrative clinic, and has worked alongside naturopathic doctors for years.

The work is about you rather than a relationship between two people, so sessions can move at your pace and go wherever you need them to. A great deal of relationship work still happens here: understanding your own patterns, triggers and communication style changes how you show up with everyone, and many people start individually even when the concern is a relationship.

Sessions with Flora are $170 for 50 minutes and sessions with Rosalia are $150. Psychotherapy is not covered by OHIP, but most extended health plans reimburse it and receipts are issued for every session. 5 sliding-scale places are held at $115 for clients who cannot meet the standard fee.

There is no set length and no minimum commitment. Some people come for a specific problem and finish in a few months; others stay longer or return at intervals as things change. Most start weekly and move to fortnightly as things steady. You are free to stop whenever you decide the work is done.

If something has been sitting with you long enough that you are reading this page, that is usually reason enough. You do not need a diagnosis, a referral, or a tidy explanation of the problem. The free 15-minute consult exists precisely so you can work out whether this is a fit before committing to anything.
