Reduced-Cost Therapy Services in Ontario & Newfoundland
At Guidepoint Clinic, we believe that therapy should be accessible and affordable — especially for people facing financial or systemic barriers.
Is Reduced-Cost Therapy For You?
To help make mental health support more affordable, we now offer reduced-cost therapy provided by Master’s and Doctoral-level practicum students and interns who are training to become psychologists. All trainee therapists work under the direct supervision of a Registered Psychologist, ensuring high-quality, evidence-based care. This service option is ideal for adults seeking online therapy from anywhere in Ontario and Newfoundland and Labrador at a lower cost.
High-Quality Care, Fully Supervised by a Registered Psychologist
Every trainee is carefully selected, trained, and supervised by a Registered Psychologist in good standing with their provincial regulatory college. This means:
- All treatment plans are reviewed by a psychologist
- Sessions are guided by evidence-informed, ethical practice
- You receive safe, structured support at a reduced fee
- Receipts for insurance reimbursement are issued under the supervising psychologist’s name
Many extended health plans will reimburse services provided under supervision. We encourage clients to check their specific coverage.
Limited Availability — First Come, First Served
Because trainee placements are temporary and space is limited, reduced-cost therapy spots are offered on a first-come, first-served basis.
Once a trainee’s caseload is full, a waitlist may be available until new placements begin.
We recommend booking your free consult as soon as possible if you’re interested.
“We need to ensure that people can get affordable mental health care in their communities, without stigma and without barriers.”
Get Started With Reduced-Cost Therapy
Prospective clients must book a free 20-minute consultation with the reduced-cost clinician before committing to a full session. This consult helps you:
- Ask questions about the trainee therapist’s approach
- Share your goals and present concerns
- Determine whether this service is a good clinical fit
- Discuss fees, availability, and any financial-need considerations
If reduced-cost therapy is not appropriate for your needs, we will help you explore other options within Guidepoint Clinic.
Our reduced-cost therapy program provides substantially lower rates than standard psychotherapy services.
Because fees are already reduced for trainees, further discounting is limited but may be available in certain circumstances.
