Therapy for Adults

At Inner Garden Psychology, we offer individual psychotherapy with supervised student therapists. Sessions are typically 50 minutes and may take place in person in Toronto or virtually within Ontario.

Our therapeutic approach

Our therapists take an integrative approach to therapy, working to understand your unique experiences and tailoring treatment to your individual needs. They will draw from a range of evidence-based modalities, including humanistic/client-centred, emotion-focused, psychodynamic, motivational interviewing, cognitive-behavioural, dialectical-behavioural, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and mindfulness approaches. This flexibility allows us to support both reflective, process-oriented exploration and movement toward specific therapeutic goals and positive life change.

Clinical concerns we support

We work with adults experiencing a broad range of concerns, and of mild to moderate severity. These include:

  • Anxiety, worry, or stress

  • Mood-related challenges, depression, burnout, and feeling overwhelmed

  • Trauma, loss, and grief

  • Self-criticism, perfectionism, and people-pleasing

  • Identity concerns

  • Life transitions (school, work, relationships, parenthood) and adjustment-related concerns

  • Women’s Health issues (e.g., pre- and post-partum challenges, perimenopause, fertility struggles)

  • Obsessive-compulsive tendencies

  • Emotion regulation difficulties

  • Relationship patterns and boundary problems

  • ADHD-related or executive-function challenges

  • Self-enhancement, self-awareness, and personal growth

Fees

Because we are a training clinic, our therapy fees are reduced compared to typical private practice rates.

  • Student therapist sessions: $125 /
    50-minute session (psychological services are exempt from HST)

Our services are not covered by OHIP but are often eligible for reimbursement from extended health benefits when sessions are supervised by a registered psychologist or psychological associate. We encourage clients to review their benefits plan to confirm coverage.
