Your questions, answered.
How do I know the therapists on this site are legitimate?
Trust is the foundation of our platform. We manually verify the identity, active license, and professional standing of every single therapist before their profile is allowed to go live. You will only find regulated, fully qualified professionals in our network and never unregulated coaches or unverified guides.
What happens to the information I share?
Your privacy is strictly protected. We comply fully with all Canadian federal and provincial health privacy laws, including PIPEDA and PHIPA. Your personal data will never be sold, and any information used to improve our platform's matching technology is completely anonymized.
How does the matching process work?
Unlike traditional directories that leave you to guess using basic filters, we guide you through a personalized matching experience. Based on what you are looking for, we will recommend specific intake questionnaires for you to fill out. Your answers help our technology connect you with a therapist whose expertise and approach are the ideal fit for your needs.
What is the cost for a session?
Because our therapists possess varying levels of specialized expertise and experience, they set their own individual rates. You will always see a therapist's session fee clearly displayed on their profile before you book.
Will my therapy session be covered by my private health insurance or employee benefits?
Yes, in many cases. Because we strictly verify that every professional on our platform is fully licensed and regulated, their services are frequently eligible for reimbursement through major Canadian extended health benefits (such as Manulife, Canada Life, Sun Life, GreenShield, etc.). However, coverage always depends on your specific insurance plan and the exact credentials of the therapist (e.g., MSW, RP, Psychologist), which are clearly displayed on their profile.
