Psychotherapy

Psychotherapy at St. Michael’s Homes is open to all individuals at or above the age of 18, regardless of their race, religion, sexuality or gender identity. Clients who use substances do not need to be practicing abstinence to participate (except during sessions), nor is it necessary for clients to have a history of substance use to access this service.

There should be a referring worker or case manager connected to the client, to assist in the coordination of services if needed.

In order to participate in virtual sessions with their therapist, clients will need to have access to a device on which they can access Microsoft Teams. If this is not possible for the client, therapy may also be conducted over the phone. It is required that clients have the ability to access a quiet and private space for their sessions.

Our Psychotherapy Team is comprised of Registered Psychotherapists and Registered Psychotherapists (Qualifying), graduate students completing clinical placements, and post-graduate volunteers, working under the supervision of a Registered Psychotherapist in good standing with the College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario.

Psychotherapy is the best way to help a client open their mind and explore the roots of their behaviours. Our approach is trauma-informed and client-centered.
