Our Approach
Healing starts with understanding the whole you. At Seeking Solace Psychotherapy and Wellness, we go beyond surface-level solutions. Our approach weaves together neuroscience, psychodynamic insight, and human connection. Grounded in biopsychosocial theory, we integrate CBT, DBT, solution-focused strategies, and mindfulness to help you navigate emotional struggles and rediscover your strength.
Real change begins in a space where you feel seen, heard, and supported. At Seeking Solace, we believe that a genuine, trusting relationship between client and therapist is the foundation for healing. Through compassionate collaboration, deep insight, and evidence-based strategies tailored to your unique goals, we walk beside you—empowering you to create meaningful, lasting change.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does therapy cost?
The cost of therapy can vary depending on a few key factors, including the length of the session and the specific type of therapy you’re seeking (e.g., individual, couples, or family counselling).

How long will I be in therapy for?
The length of time required for therapy varies by individual circumstances. Depending on the issue or goal, this can be achieved in a few sessions or it may take longer. However, our job is to enable you to live your best life without us. Most people see symptom improvement after a few sessions, but deeper work can take longer. It all depends on the individual. We invite you to talk to us openly and honestly about what your expectations are, and how you feel you are progressing through therapy.
Do you accept insurance?
Many extended health benefits plans do cover psychotherapy services. We bill you for your appointment, and you submit your detailed receipt to your insurance company for reimbursement. Please consult with your health benefits provider to ensure coverage with a Psychotherapist. Our Mental Health services are considered a medical expense tax credit by Revenue Canada. Any fees not covered by your benefits plan can be claimed when you file your income tax return. We do accept Non-Insured Health Benefits (NIHB).
Is Seeking Solace a LGBTQIA+ friendly practice?
Yes, Seeking Solace is a LGBTQIA+ friendly practice. We provide a safe and welcoming environment for individuals of all gender identities and sexual orientations.
What is the availability of therapy sessions at Seeking Solace?
We offer therapy sessions Monday through Friday, with some availability in the evenings and on weekends. Please book online to choose a time that suits your schedule or contact us if you have questions regarding scheduling an appointment.
What is the privacy policy at Seeking Solace?
At Seeking Solace, we take your privacy seriously. All information shared in therapy sessions is confidential and will not be shared with anyone without your explicit consent. Confidentiality is considered a cornerstone of the profession of psychotherapy and is embedded in its core values.
What can I expect during my free consultation?
The therapist will ask you a few brief questions about your past experience in therapy, what prompted you to reach out, and a bit about yourself. There will be an opportunity for you to ask questions about what to expect, what approach the therapist takes, or any logistics about the appointments. This is your chance to get a feel for the therapist and decide if you feel comfortable to continue to process.
What is your cancellation policy?
We ask that you provide 24 hours notice for cancellations. Whenever possible, we try to offer reschedules based on your clinicians’ availability. Sessions cancelled less than 24 hours in advance, and no shows, are subject to the full fee being charged.
What’s the difference between talking to a psychotherapist and my friend or family member?
A Registered Psychotherapist (RP) can help you approach your situation in a new way, teach you new skills, help you gain different perspectives, and listen to you without judgment or expectations. The sessions are completely confidential.
