At Vital Minds Psychotherapy we understand that mental health is vital to your well being and believe that finances shouldn’t prevent you from accessing help when you need it. Our goal is to empower you with strategies to cope with life’s challenges, minimize your suffering, and live a life that is meaningful to you.
We offer affordable therapy in Hamilton and online across Ontario to individuals, couples and families who are seeking financially accessible therapy services. The affordable therapy program is offered at a low cost with Master of Arts in Counselling Psychology students. They hold their Registered Psychotherapist Qualifying license, but they are still completing their education and hours for their practicum placement. Our interns are trained a wide range of evidence-based therapeutic modalities and are supervised by experienced Clinical Supervisors (Registered Psychotherapists or Registered Social Workers) who specialize in a multitude of issues. Many of our interns also have extensive experience in the mental health field, health care, and frontline support. Please note that student therapists may not be suitable for those with active psychosis, addiction or eating disorders.
Our affordable therapy program offers therapy at lower costs than the traditional cost which ranges from $130-$170 per session. Our student interns are able to offer rates ranging from $80-$120 per session depending on your financial situation, whether you are paying out of pocket or have minimal insurance coverage. For individuals who have less than $500 per calendar year we recommend inquiring about the affordable therapy program to maximize your insurance coverage and continue services at low cost.
