AFFORDABLE THERAPY· In-person in Toronto & Online across Ontario

THERAPY SHOULD BE ACCESSIBLE

Affordable therapy with our graduate student therapists offers a lower-cost option for people who want thoughtful, relational psychotherapy without the full private-practice fee. Sessions are offered on a sliding scale from $40–$100 per 50-minute session, depending on availability and financial need.

AFFORDABLE THERAPY AT IVANA PSYCHOTHERAPY

Lower-cost therapy does not mean less thoughtful care.

Our student therapists are completing advanced graduate training in counselling and psychotherapy and work under the supervision of an experienced registered psychotherapist. They bring curiosity, openness, current clinical training, and a genuine eagerness to learn. Because they are actively immersed in graduate education, they are also exposed to newer research, emerging approaches, and contemporary conversations in the field.
Their work is supported through regular clinical supervision, where they can reflect on cases, deepen their skills, and receive guidance when needed.
Affordable therapy can be a particularly good option for people who are looking for ongoing support but for whom standard private-practice fees are not financially accessible.:

WHAT WE CAN WORK ON TOGETHER

What We Can Work on Together

Therapy can support you with…
  • anxiety, stress, and feeling overwhelmed
  • communicating needs without losing yourself or attacking the other person
  • depression, low mood, and loss of motivation
  • self-esteem and identity
  • grief and life transitions
  • immigration, belonging, and cultural adjustment
  • gender and sexuality and much more!

IS STUDENT THERAPY RIGHT FOR ME?

Affordable therapy may be a good fit if…

  • you are looking for regular individual psychotherapy at a lower fee
  • you are experiencing anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, grief, or life transitions
  • you want a therapist who is engaged, curious, and actively learning
  • you are comfortable working with a graduate student therapist who receives clinical supervision
  • cost has been a barrier to accessing ongoing therapy
Our student therapists may not be the appropriate fit for clients experiencing highly complex or acute mental health concerns, including severe substance-use concerns, or situations requiring intensive or specialized treatment.
If you are unsure, please reach out. We can arrange a consultation to help determine whether one of our student therapists is an appropriate fit or whether another level of support would better meet your needs.
