About Our Kingston Therapy Services

The simple act of talking about how we feel can make a big difference. When we keep our problems to ourselves, they can feel heavier and harder to deal with. But when we open up and share what’s inside, it can help us breathe a little easier.

Our work is rooted in evidence-based approaches such as:

Therapy is one of the kindest gifts you can give yourself

When we put our feelings into words, we begin to make sense of what’s really going on inside us. It’s like sorting through a messy drawer—you find things you didn’t even realize were there. Through talking, we can find clarity, gain new perspectives, and sometimes even find solutions to problems we thought were impossible to fix.

Why Choose Gowthorpe Therapists

  • Our practice was founded by Dr. Julie Gowthorpe, RSW, a trauma expert with a doctorate from the University of Toronto and a master’s from McGill University.

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 Kingston, 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 Kingston?

Costs vary by therapist and type of therapy. Typical online therapy session fees in Kingston 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 Kingston?

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 Kingston 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 Kingston therapists — and begin your path toward a calmer, more grounded life.
