Online Therapy can help you:

Have new perspectives that can improve your outlook on life
Create a space for you to feel seen, safe, heard and accepted as you unpack and process your hurts
Develop a better sense of yourself and your ability to ask for what you need
Have more confidence in yourself and more trust in your decisions
Develop skills to remain calm and respond rather than react
Process past losses that may have occurred before you reached adulthood

Why Choose Online Counselling:

Online counselling is more accessible, especially when you have a busy life or do not enjoy driving as it eliminates the need for travel
It’s easier to have regular sessions as you can schedule a therapy session at the beginning/end of a workday or during lunch breaks
You can have your session in your home/office or other locations
New parents find online appointments allow them to continue or begin therapy while on maternity/paternity leave
For seniors and people with mobility issues online therapy removes the worry of getting to an appointment, especially during bad weather
If you live in a small community and know the local therapists personally then online therapy can feel more confidential

Have you been thinking about starting therapy for a while?

Taking that first step to schedule an appointment can take a lot of courage. We offer an initial free 15-minute telephone consult that you can schedule below. Once scheduled you’ll receive a confirmation email from our online system called Jane. At the scheduled time of our call, Heidi will call you to discuss your therapy needs. Please note that when you schedule all times are set to Halifax (ADT) time zone.

If you decide you’d like to move forward with scheduling a therapy appointment this can be done at the end of your free consultation and you’ll be offered an appointment time with one of the therapists available in Nova Scotia. If you want to take some time to think about it first then that’s perfectly okay too.

When you schedule your first therapy session we will ask you for your payment and insurance information (the name of your Insurance plan and your policy and ID number) so that we can have this set up for your first session.

Direct Billing is available to clients in Nova Scotia. Click here to see some of the Insurance Providers we can direct bill. Please inquire if your insurer isn’t listed.
