Finding a Therapist

If you’re searching for a therapist, you’re not alone. More people across Ontario are reaching out for support with anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, life transitions, difficult decisions, and other challenges, and finding the right fit matters.

At Once Upon a Time Therapy, we offer in-person counselling and therapy, along with virtual (video or phone) sessions for anyone who prefers to meet from home or somewhere else. Our approach blends traditional talk therapy with narrative and expressive art therapy methods, including Narrative Comic Strip Therapy®, a new, creative, engaging way to process experiences that can be especially helpful for children and teens who find it hard to talk about difficult things directly.

Who We Support

We work with children, teens, and adults facing anxiety and stress, depression and low mood, trauma and difficult life experiences, grief and loss, ADHD-related challenges, life transitions, relationship difficulties, and more.

Why Local Therapy Matters

Whether you’re a parent looking for the support of a therapist for your child, or an adult navigating a really hard life chapter, having someone available to sit with you removes some of the barriers that keep people from getting help. And our session availability evenings and weekends helps to fit into busy lives.

What to Expect

We offer direct billing for employee plans that offer it. This helps to reduce upfront costs, and both in-person and telehealth (phone or video) appointments so you can choose what feels most comfortable. Every person’s needs are different.
