At Durham Psychotherapy, individual therapy is available to people of every age—children, adolescents, adults, and older adults—and welcomes all races, cultures, faith traditions, abilities, sexual orientations, gender identities and expressions, and immigration statuses. In a confidential, one-on-one setting you can explore thoughts, emotions, and life experiences while working toward goals that matter to you. Your therapist’s priority is to foster a safe, non-judgemental space where you can be vulnerable and where your wellbeing drives every clinical decision.

Our clinicians include both Registered Psychotherapists and Registered Social Workers. Each therapist is licensed and in good standing with their respective regulatory body—the College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario (CRPO) or the Ontario College of Social Workers and Social Service Workers (OCSWSSW). These colleges require graduate-level education, extensive supervised practice, ongoing professional development, and adherence to evidence-based standards, ensuring you receive ethical, competent, and research-informed care.

At Durham Psychotherapy, a consultation offers you a brief, no-obligation conversation with one of our Registered Psychotherapists or Registered Social Workers. This meeting—often the first step before scheduling a full intake session—gives you a chance to describe what you’re looking for, learn about our approach, and ask practical questions about services, fees, scheduling, or fit. While helpful for mutual decision-making, a consultation is not psychotherapy and does not involve assessment, diagnosis, or treatment planning; instead, it ensures you feel informed and comfortable before committing to ongoing care.

If you're unsure about which therapist to book with or have general questions about starting therapy at Durham Psychotherapy, you're welcome to book a free 20-minute consultation with our care team. This call is designed to help you learn more about our services and get matched with the therapist who’s the best fit for your needs.
