Affordable Therapy

We believe that affordable therapy, mental health resources, support and services should be accessible to everyone.

What should you do if you’re under a lot of stress or dealing with a mental health issue and you don’t have the money for therapy? Even though your health insurance may cover certain mental health services, many individuals simply don’t have access to the means or coverage necessary to use these types of services on a regular basis. At everwell, we believe in the importance of being able to offer affordable therapy services to everyone within our community. That’s why we offer a ‘Therapist Intern’ program where Master’s Degree students in Counselling Psychology offer counselling as part of their required training before becoming Registered Psychotherapists. This service is open to anyone looking for online counselling within Ontario. Currently we are offering affordable individual counselling through this program.

What is a Therapist Intern?

A Therapist Intern is a Masters’ level practicum student who has completed the foundation of their education in Counselling Psychology and is now able to engage in direct client counselling. These students are required to provide counselling services under the supervision of a Registered Psychotherapist to complete their training before becoming accredited.

Therapist Interns bring an abundance of knowledge and a fresh perspective on the latest effective counselling methods.
