Looking for a trusted therapist in Southern Ontario?

At Gowthorpe Therapists, we offer online therapy designed to support your mental health journey from the comfort of your home.
For a long time, people thought therapy was only for those who were “broken” or “in trouble.” But the truth is, therapy is for anyone who wants to understand themselves better.

The many ways to heal

There’s no “one right way” to do therapy. Here are a few kinds you might hear about:

  • Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT): Helps you spot negative thoughts and replace them with more helpful ones.

  • Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT): Teaches you to handle strong emotions in healthy ways.

  • Emotion-Focused Therapy (EFT): Helps you understand and work through deep feelings.

  • Play or Art Therapy: Uses creativity to express what words can’t, often great for kids (but adults love it too!).

  • Group or Family Therapy: Brings people together to heal, learn, and grow as a team.

 

Every type of therapy has one thing in common—it’s about helping you feel more in control of your emotions and your life.

Remember: This is a space where every identity is respected, affirmed, and celebrated. Whether you’re exploring who you are, coming out, or learning to feel safe again – you belong here. And the best part? You don’t have to have a mental health “diagnosis” to go to therapy. You can go just because you want to grow, understand yourself, or feel better.

Choosing therapy is a brave step. By working with Gowthorpe Therapists, you gain access to:

  • Flexible online therapy that fits your schedule
  • A team with expertise in trauma, couples counselling, elder care, and more

Common Questions We Hear

We know starting therapy can bring up a lot of questions. That’s completely okay — here are some of the things people often ask before getting started with us.

What is online therapy?

Online therapy (also called teletherapy or virtual counselling) is mental health care delivered by video, phone, or secure chat. In Southern Ontario , it lets you meet with a therapist from home using your computer or phone.

Does online therapy work as well as in-person therapy?

Yes. Research and many clients show online therapy can be just as effective for anxiety, depression, trauma, couples counselling, and more — as long as the therapist is licensed and skilled.

How much does therapy cost in Southern Ontario ?

Costs vary by therapist and type of therapy. Typical online therapy session fees in Southern Ontario range from lower-cost sliding-scale options to standard private rates. Check our booking page or contact us for exact prices and sliding scale availability.

How long is a therapy session?

Most sessions are 50–60 minutes. Some services (like assessments or couple sessions) may be different. We’ll confirm length when you book.

What happens in my first therapy session?

You’ll meet your therapist, talk about what brought you to therapy, set goals, and agree on how you want to work. It’s an introduction — no pressure, just an initial plan.

How do I choose the right therapist in Southern Ontario?

Look for licensing, specialties (e.g., trauma, couples, child therapy), experience, and a good personal fit. We can match you with a therapist who fits your needs and preferences.

Can I switch therapists if the first one isn’t a good fit?

We always start with best match. Yes. If you feel it's not a good match, we’ll help you find another Gowthorpe Southern Ontario therapist who better matches your needs.

No matter where you are in your healing journey, support is available. Reach out today to connect with one of our Southern Ontario therapists — and begin your path toward a calmer, more grounded life.
