Psychotherapy is regulated, talk-based care for your mental health. In Ontario it is a controlled act, which means it is delivered by trained, registered professionals such as CRPO-registered psychotherapists and registered social workers. You meet with a therapist, work through what is weighing on you, and build practical ways to feel and function better.
At Serene Heart Counseling and Psychotherapy, you are matched with a clinician whose training fits your situation, whether that is structured individual therapy, couples work, or support for a specific concern. We meet in person in Milton, Mississauga, and Burlington, or online anywhere in Ontario.

Most people meet weekly or biweekly, in sessions of 50 to 60 minutes, always with a registered clinician.
