Frequently Asked Questions

Why should I speak to a therapist instead of a friend?

Speaking to a therapist rather than a friend offers several advantages. Our team of therapists in Simcoe are trained professionals who bring extra benefits to the conversation, including expertise in mental health and effective therapeutic techniques. We offer objectivity and maintain strict confidentiality, ensuring that your personal information remains secure. It’s our job and passion to prioritize your well-being, and we focus on providing a welcoming space where you can express yourself openly without fear of judgment.

How do I know when its time to speak to a therapist?

You can start therapy at any time; there’s no need to wait for a major issue to arise. Sometimes, it’s simply beneficial to talk and share what’s happening in your life with an impartial listener. If you are experiencing:

Not feeling like yourself
Changes in your thoughts, patterns, emotions, and behaviours
Significant life changes, events, or transitions
Challenges and/or difficulties in your relationship(s)
A loss of interest in hobbies or activities you once enjoyed

At our welcoming Simcoe clinic, we will sit with you, listen, and provide guidance to help you navigate through it.

How much does therapy cost?

At Mindful Path Counselling, we offer a wide range of therapy services that vary in cost. Student interns offer reduced-fee counselling services to fit every budget and full-service providers offer a variety of fees depending on the provider selected. Make sure to discuss therapy fees during your consultation call.

Does my insurance cover therapy?

Most private health insurance providers cover the cost of therapy. We always encourage potential and new clients to phone or inquire with their private health insurance provider prior to booking your intake assessment. You want to know if your covered to work with social worker, psychotherapist, or psychologist. We offer direct billing services to Greenshield, BlueCross/BlueShield, Non Insured Health Benefits (NIHB), Jordan’s Principal, Victim Quick Response Program (VQRP), and Veterans Affairs. When booking we require the details for the above insurance providers to be able to direct bill on your behalf.

How do I know if my therapist is a good fit?

We offer a free 15-minute consultation call with up to two providers so you have the opportunity to connect, ask questions, and determine if the provider you selected is a good fit based on your needs. Signs if it’s a good fit:

You feel comfortable speaking openly with the provider
Your sessions are productive, they provide you with constructive and helpful feedback
You feel motivated to attend your therapy appointment

How do I prepare for my first session?

For your first session, you will need to complete all intake paperwork. It’s often helpful to bring a pen and paper to take notes during your appointment. Be prepared to answer many questions and delve into your thoughts, needs, and emotions. Writing down specific topics or themes you want to discuss can be beneficial. Keep an open mind!

For phone or virtual video appointments, ensure your phone, tablet, or laptop is in good working order. Check that your camera and microphone are functioning properly and install any necessary software or updates ahead of time. Select a confidential and quiet space for the session and make sure your device is fully charged to avoid any disruptions.
