Psychotherapy and counselling have been proven to increase self-awareness, self-direction, personal fulfillment and overall happiness. Our philosophy is to help you achieve and sustain positive changes to your life through a deeper understanding of who you are, your relationships, your personal strengths and negative patterns of behaviour, and ultimately what might be keeping you from being your best possible self.

We specialize in your emotional and personal development and take pride in continuously updating our professional skills through ongoing training and education initiatives.

Each counselling therapy session is typically 60 minutes long, however longer sessions are sometimes necessary (e.g. for couples/marriage counselling) and available upon request. Give us a call or talk to one of our therapists directly.
Our services are frequently covered by many employer benefits and extended insurance plans. Check your individual policy closely to see if you have for a Registered Psychotherapists. Several of our therapists currently also provide services under the supervision of a Registered Psychologist. Connect with us about your questions, and to see if the services provided by one of our team members are covered by your plan. If you're unsure what you are covered for, you can send us a screenshot of your policy and we can assist in helping you understand.
Our fees start at $160 per session. Visit our Fees and Online Bookings pages for a detailed breakdown of services and associated fees. Where you would fall in that range depends on what type of counselling you are seeking (individual or couples/marriage), and whether it will be in-person or online (video or telephone counselling).
A lot, actually! Our approach is to provide you with value from the moment you walk in for your first session. We believe therapy is collaborative, and we look to you to set the pace and explain in your own words what your issues and goals are. If you're not sure, your therapist can help you figure out where to start and what the priority is for you, along with understanding how much you want to talk about without going too deep right away. We do a lot of listening, and ask a lot of questions in your first session, but you will leave with concrete feedback, tips and advice, and plan for what your future counselling sessions will focus on.
Change can happen after as little as your first session with us, because we provide you with active coping skills, tools, and strategies such as deep breathing exercises, progressive self-relaxation training, mindfulness, or homework exercises that can help you create short-term change to feel better straight away. Deeper and long-standing patterns of behaviour, habits, or personality issues may take a longer to change. The average number of sessions is 8-10 for most, however some of our clients have found benefit after a single session, while others enjoy maintaining their emotional health with us on a regular basis.
Fit between an individual/couple and their therapist is the most important factor toward successful therapy and long term positive change. Building a trusting and supportive relationship with you is our top priority. We customize our approach by carefully matching you with the right therapist here at NKS, based on the issues you want to work on, and the expertise and availability of our therapists. If for any reason you do not feel your therapist is the right "fit", you can always let us know and we will transition you to another one of our team members.

Psychotherapists, psychologists and psychiatrists often overlap in the areas they specialize in, but there are differences in what they can offer. Psychotherapists and Psychologists can both practice counselling therapy over a range of topics including cognitive behavioural therapy, marriage/relationship counselling, career counselling, and family therapy. They are both trained in understanding the way people think, feel, and behave. Psychotherapists at NKS Therapy are registered withthe College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario.

Quite effective. In some cases, it's been shown to be even more effective than in-person counselling (Maercker et al). Online counselling can be provided between any two spaces that are quiet, secure and private. This can include a private room at home, a closed meeting room or office at your place of work, a walk in an empty park, or even from a car. At NKS Therapy, we offer secure face-to-face video counselling via Jane App, and telephone counselling.
