These therapies are part of our broader commitment to trauma-informed therapy in Ontario — an approach that recognizes how past experiences shape the way we feel and heal. Every session is designed to help you feel safe, supported, and truly understood.

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.

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 virtual counselling) lets you meet a licensed Kingston therapist online through secure video, phone, or chat. It’s convenient and private.

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

Yes! Studies show online therapy can be just as effective as in-person sessions for issues like depression, anxiety, and relationship problems.

How much does therapy cost in Kingston?

Rates vary depending on your therapist and session type. We offer sliding-scale options to keep therapy accessible for everyone.

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?

Your therapist will listen, learn about what brought you here, and help set personal goals. It’s a calm, judgment-free space to begin your journey.

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?

Yes. If you ever feel your therapist isn’t the right fit, we’ll match you with another Gowthorpe Kingston therapist who better meets your needs.
