Being a student can come with overwhelming pressure. Our intern therapists — who are students themselves — understand these challenges and offer a relatable, empathetic approach.

We offer a dedicated student rate of $80 per session to all full-time and part-time post-secondary students, no matter your income or background. If you're at the University of Toronto, you can also read more about therapy for U of T students.

Continuity of care

What Happens When My Intern’s Placement Ends?

Intern placements typically last 8 to 12 months. When your intern therapist completes their practicum, you can choose from:

  • Continuing with the same therapist at their new associate rate (higher than intern rate, but still lower than full licensed rate)
  • Switching to another intern therapist to maintain affordability
  • Transitioning to a fully licensed therapist on our team, with guidance to find the right fit

We’ll support you in making a smooth transition, ensuring that your care continues uninterrupted.

Frequently asked questions

Intern therapy, answered

An intern therapist is a graduate student in the final, clinical stage of an accredited psychotherapy program — in our case, the University of Toronto and Yorkville University. They see clients as part of a supervised practicum placement, which is why their rates are lower than a fully licensed therapist's.
Yes — our interns are highly trained and carefully supervised. Many clients find intern-led sessions just as helpful as working with a licensed therapist.
Our intern therapy rate is $125 per session, compared with $200 or more for a fully licensed therapist in Toronto. If cost is a barrier, our sliding scale brings that down to $50–$100 per session, and post-secondary students pay a flat $80.
The sliding scale (from $50 to $100/session) is based on financial need. The student rate is a flat $80/session, available to all college and university students.
There's no paperwork or income verification. Tell us during your free consultation that cost is a barrier, and we'll agree on a rate within the sliding-scale range that works for your situation.
No referral is required. You can book a free consultation directly, and we'll match you with an intern therapist whose availability and approach fit what you're looking for.
In most cases, yes. Several of our interns are Registered Psychotherapists (Qualifying), and student therapists work under the supervision of a fully registered RP — so sessions are typically eligible under extended health plans that cover psychotherapy. Coverage still varies by plan, so we recommend confirming with your insurer before your first session. OHIP does not cover psychotherapy in private practice.
You can work with your intern therapist throughout their practicum placement (typically 8–12 months), and we’ll help you plan your next steps as the placement nears completion.
