Filter by online options on Theralist to find remote therapists.

Contact therapists directly to confirm they accept your specific insurance. Theralist therapist profiles often list insurance details.

Are there affordable therapy options in Ontario?

What credentials should I look for in an Ontario therapist?

Look for registered credentials such as PhD or Master's in Psychology, Registered Social Worker (RSW), or registered psychotherapist credentials. Verify therapists are registered with their professional body such as the College of Psychologists of Ontario or the Ontario College of Social Workers. Theralist displays therapist qualifications to help you choose.

Does Ontario have therapists specializing in specific issues?

Yes. Ontario therapists specialize in anxiety, depression, trauma, PTSD, grief and loss, OCD, ADHD, couples therapy, work-related stress, and addiction. Many also work with cultural or immigrant-specific issues, given Ontario's diverse population. Search by specialty on Theralist to find an expert in your area of concern.

Can I get therapy for couples and relationship issues in Ontario?

Yes. Many Ontario therapists offer couples therapy and relationship counselling in-person and online. This includes marriage counselling, pre-marriage counselling, and relationship crisis support. Theralist helps you find qualified relationship therapists in Toronto, Ottawa, or across Ontario.
