Struggling with Life’s Challenges? We’re Here to Help You Thrive.
Our therapists are here for you.
Are you feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or stuck in a cycle of unhappiness? Life’s challenges can take many forms—burnout, trouble sleeping, or struggles with self-esteem—making it hard to find joy or even move forward. Whether you’re navigating relationship difficulties, managing the emotional toll of chronic health conditions, or supporting the mental well-being of your loved ones, these experiences can feel isolating and heavy.
At CBT Wellness and Virtual Services, we’re here to help. Our therapy sessions are designed to provide a compassionate space where you can explore your emotions, work through your challenges, and build the tools to reclaim balance and happiness in your life. You don’t have to face this journey alone—together, we’ll find a path forward.

Life Can Be Hard, But You Are Not Alone
Life can be challenging, unpredictable, and anxiety-provoking, but it can also be full of joy, adventure, and laughter. We can help you combine the pieces to experience happiness and feel like yourself again, or even for the first time.
Our therapists are real people, too. We have been there and are here to help you flourish through it.
Become Fully Present & Enjoy Life
Many of us move through life on autopilot, feeling disconnected from the moments that truly matter. Deep down, we long to be more present—for ourselves and those we care about. It’s easy to get swept up in the fast pace of daily life, stuck dwelling on the past or worrying about an uncertain future. Being fully present can sometimes feel overwhelming, especially when the present moment brings pain, fear, or loneliness.
But you don’t have to face this alone. We’re here to support you every step of the way. Together, we’ll create a safe, understanding space where you can freely express yourself, heal, and begin to move forward. With time and guidance, you can rediscover what living fully in the present means—embracing the here and now with renewed strength and hope.
Treating Mental Illnesses & Other Health Issues
We are fortunate to have a great team of experienced and compassionate therapists who can help with a wide variety of issues, including anxiety, depression, PTSD, OCD, trauma, domestic violence, bipolar disorder, ODD, BPD, burnout, insomnia, grief, life transitions & eating disorders. But you don’t need a diagnosis of a mental illness to seek support!
We could all benefit from talking to a professional therapist at some point (or multiple points) throughout our lives.
Benefits of Therapy
Therapy offers many benefits that can nurture your mental and emotional well-being. Through individual psychotherapy, you can gain self-awareness, develop self-acceptance, and build emotional resilience in a safe and supportive environment.
Many people find that therapy reduces feelings of stress, anxiety, and overwhelm while fostering a greater sense of happiness, satisfaction, and connection in their lives. Whether navigating life transitions, managing uncertainty, supporting a loved one, or seeking healthier coping methods, therapy can provide the tools and guidance to help you thrive.
Critical Benefits of Therapy:
- Greater self-awareness and emotional resilience
- Reduced feelings of stress, anxiety, and overwhelm
- Improved mood, life satisfaction, and relationships
- Practical coping skills for life transitions and challenges
- Compassionate support for navigating uncertainty and change
Improve Upon your Coping Skills
We all have coping skills that are not so healthy. Our virtual psychotherapists can help you to enhance your toolbox with healthier coping strategies that work for you.
They can help you learn more effective ways of dealing with emotions (or other people’s emotions), negative thoughts, impulses and urges. They can also help you communicate your wants, needs, and desires to others, leading to a productive conversation.
What to Expect
In therapy sessions, you can expect a safe and supportive environment in which you can explore your thoughts, feelings and experiences. You can expect a non-judgemental and confidential space for you to be your true self. You can expect to be treated fairly and with compassion.
During your initial assessment, you will be asked various questions, but you can always decline to answer anything you do not wish to discuss. Your therapist will ask you to set goals that you would like to work towards together and will monitor your progress in the follow-up sessions. Your therapist will implement evidence-based techniques to equip you with the inspiration and strategies/tools needed to move forward productively and healthily.
Treatment Approaches: Individualized Treatment Plans
Your therapist will work closely with you to design a personalized treatment plan that aligns with your unique needs and goals. They’ll draw from a variety of evidence-based approaches, such as traditional talk therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution-Focused Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Mindfulness, Emotion-Focused Therapy, and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR). If these terms sound unfamiliar, don’t worry—they simply refer to techniques thoroughly researched and shown to be effective.
We’ll also include tools like relaxation techniques, problem-solving strategies, and healthy coping skills when they’re helpful for your journey. Most importantly, you and your therapist will collaborate to create a plan that feels right for you and supports you in reaching your goals with care and confidence.
Prioritize Yourself Because You Deserve It
Putting others first or focusing on physical health while overlooking our emotional and mental well-being is expected. But just as a plant needs water to thrive, we need to care for ourselves to grow and heal. When left unaddressed, emotional wounds and past traumas can weigh us down, making it harder to move forward. Unresolved feelings, like pressure inside a volcano, can build up until they surface in ways we don’t expect or want.
You don’t have to carry this alone. We’re here to help you lighten the load, work through your challenges, and discover your inner strength. Together, we’ll nurture your resilience and create space for growth and healing.
Invest in yourself. Your future self will thank you for it.
Individual Psychotherapy FAQ
Does insurance cover sessions?
While OHIP does not cover therapy services, many Extended Health Benefit plans (such as insurance companies) may offer coverage for therapy sessions, either fully or partially. If you don’t have benefits or face financial limitations, we are committed to making therapy accessible.
We offer sliding scale fees and reduced-cost sessions with our psychotherapy interns. This allows you to receive the support you need without the financial strain.
Feel free to contact us for more information about insurance coverage or to explore our sliding scale options.
What is CBT?
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is an evidence-based approach used to treat a variety of issues like anxiety, depression, and stress. It’s built on the idea that our thoughts impact our feelings and actions.
CBT helps improve emotional well-being and promotes healthier behaviours by identifying and challenging negative or unhelpful thought patterns. The focus is on the present, where your therapist works with you to shift negative thinking, gradually face fears, and reduce avoidance.
CBT encourages engaging in enjoyable activities and teaches practical coping skills to handle life's challenges.
Is CBT all you do?
While CBT is a core technique, we don’t rely on just one method. Each person is unique, and your therapist may incorporate various therapeutic approaches to best support your needs.
During your first session, your therapist will assess your situation and work with you to determine the most helpful techniques. Other methods may include Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Mindfulness, Trauma-Focused Therapy, and more.
This personalized approach ensures you receive the care that aligns with your goals and helps you make lasting changes.
