Why Therapy?
On your journey to self-discovery and personal growth, it is common to encounter obstacles that hold you back from becoming the best version of yourself. If you are experiencing stress and anxiety, a lack of empowerment or difficulties setting boundaries and communicating effectively, isolation doesn’t have to be your companion. We can work together to examine and address the experiences that are creating turbulence in your life and provide you with the support you need to thrive. If past experiences are holding you back, we will examine your thinking patterns, reframe them and guide you toward the enriched life you deserve.
Let’s explore the inner workings of the complex human mind and embark on this rewarding journey together.
Therapy can be beneficial for anyone experiencing emotional distress, mental health issues, or difficult life circumstances. Signs you might need therapy include persistent feelings of sadness or anxiety, difficulties managing stress, changes in sleep or appetite, struggling with relationships, and wanting support for personal growth. However, therapy is not just for those who are experiencing a struggle. It can also be preventative, or a way to work towards your personal goals and nourish your strengths.
Our sessions are 100% virtual to increase accessibility to all who need support but can not access it locally. Our virtual sessions also ensure an easier to fit into your busy schedules and allows for more flexible appointment times. Clients can engage in therapy from the comfort of their own homes, or wherever they feel most at ease and comfortable.
In the first assessment session, our therapists will typically ask questions to get to know you and understand why you're seeking therapy. This session is often more about information gathering and setting the groundwork for future sessions. You might discuss your history, current situation, and goals for therapy and also assess if you are a good fit to continue working together. Initial assessment sessions at Cafe Convo are free of charge!
The length of therapy varies widely depending on the individual and the issues being addressed. Some people may find relief in a few sessions, while others might need ongoing support for months or even years. It's a highly individual process and will be discussed collaboratively with you in your sessions with your therapist.
Currently, the rates for a 50 minute session are $80 CAD and $120 CAD for 75 minute sessions. Feel free to ask us about our sliding scale or student program for more options. As of June 2024, psychotherapy and counselling services in Canada are exempt from HST so there are no extra costs to clients!
