Family Therapy
Online Psychotherapy. Anytime. Anywhere.
What is Family Therapy?
Family therapy is a specialized form of mental health treatment designed to help families navigate and resolve interpersonal challenges. It provides a space for family members to communicate openly, explore dynamics, and address issues affecting the entire unit.
Who Can Benefit from Family Therapy?
Family therapy isn’t just for families in crisis—it’s for anyone looking to improve family dynamics, deepen connections, and handle life’s changes together. Whether you’re:
Parents feeling the stress of balancing work, parenting, and everything in between,
Couples navigating big changes, like moving, career shifts, or welcoming a new child,
Families caring for elderly parents and adjusting to new roles,
Teens and parents trying to understand each other, especially during those ‘why is everything an argument?’ years,
Blended families working on unity and finding a new rhythm,
Or even empty nesters adjusting to life with more space (and maybe a bit too much quiet)—
Family therapy offers a safe space to explore these changes, improve communication, and create stronger bonds. It’s all about supporting each other, whatever your family looks like!

Gather the Necessary Devices: Ensure that each family member has access to a device (computer, tablet, or smartphone) with a stable internet connection. You might need to use a couple of devices to accommodate everyone during the session.
Test Your Technology: Prior to your session, check that your internet connection, camera, and microphone are working properly. Familiarize yourself with the video conferencing platform that will be used for the therapy.

Be Open and Honest: Approach the session with an open mind and a willingness to engage. Family therapy is a collaborative process that requires everyone’s participation to be successful.
By following these steps, you can create a supportive environment that fosters effective communication and connection during your online family therapy sessions.

Yes, we do.
All of our therapists are registered with recognized regulatory bodies, such as the CRPO (College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario), which are recognized by insurance companies. Our receipts include the therapist's registration number, which you can use to receive reimbursement from your insurer. However, not all insurance benefit programs cover therapy expenses. We recommend contacting your insurance provider prior to your session to confirm if services provided by a registered psychotherapist are covered and eligible for reimbursement.
After your session, you'll receive a receipt with all the necessary details to submit to your insurer. If you're not reimbursed, keep your receipts, as therapy expenses can be claimed as medical expenses for tax deductions when filing your personal income taxes.
