Accessible Support: How Therapy Interns Offer High‑Quality, Affordable Care

Breaking the Stigma and Highlighting Benefits

Accessing therapy can feel out of reach for many due to costs—and sometimes even stigma around seeing an “intern.” But our Psychotherapy Intern Program offers a powerful solution: skilled, supervised care at rates that won’t break the bank.

Affordable Without Compromise

  • Standard sessions with interns are $125, with a sliding scale from $30–80/session based on financial need.

  • Post-secondary students (college/university) enjoy a special rate of $80 per session, regardless of income.

  • Ideal for those navigating anxiety, depression, grief, stress, trauma, relationship issues, burnout, academic pressures—and more.

Quality Training + Senior Supervision

  • Our interns are in the final stage of accredited psychotherapy programs.

  • Every session is supervised by an experienced, licensed therapist to ensure ethical, effective care.

  • Interns bring fresh knowledge of current, evidence-based methods, innovative thinking, and genuine enthusiasm.

Breaking the “Intern” Stigma

Many worry that interns lack expertise—but nearly everything points otherwise:

Clients often report that internships offer growth, empathy, and practical tools—while still benefiting from close senior oversight.

Seamless Transition Options

Intern placements usually last 8–12 months. When yours ends, you can:

  1. Continue with the same therapist at their new associate rate (still below full licensure cost)

  2. Transition to a new intern to maintain affordability

  3. Transition to a fully licensed team member with support in finding the right match

No matter what, your care remains uninterrupted and smooth.

Who Benefits Most?

  • Those needing high‑quality care without a high price tag

  • Students under academic pressure seeking relatable support

  • Anyone facing common mental health issues like anxiety, grief, or transitions

If you’ve ever hesitated because of cost, or wondered if an intern means less expertise, we can help you see the truth: you’ll receive empathetic, current, and supervised care—all at rates that fit your life.
