Finding a therapist shouldn’t feel like another overwhelming decision. 🌿

That’s why we created our Find Your Therapist form.

Instead of scrolling through profiles and trying to figure out who might be the right fit, tell us a little about what you’re looking for — and we’ll help you explore your options.

You can let us know things like:
• what you’d like support with
• who you’re looking for support for
• your availability and appointment preferences
• whether you have insurance
• what fee options you’d like to explore
• anything else that might be important in finding the right fit

You don’t need a diagnosis. You don’t need to tell us your whole story. And if there’s something you’d rather discuss privately, that’s okay too.

Once we receive your form, our team will review your preferences, needs, and clinician availability and connect with you about therapists who may be a good fit.

From there, you can book a free 20-minute consultation to meet a clinician, ask questions, and see how it feels before deciding whether you’d like to work together.

Because finding a therapist isn’t just about finding someone who has availability.

It’s about finding someone you feel comfortable talking to.

Plot twist: booking therapy doesn’t have to involve a phone call. 🐱💻✨
If making the call has been sitting on your to-do list, you can skip that part entirely.

Head over to our website to meet our therapists, learn more about our services, and book your appointment online — whenever you’re ready.

🌿 WHAT STARTED AS AN IDEA IN FEBRUARY HAS GROWN INTO MORE THAN 440 THERAPY SESSIONS.

Earlier this year we launched our Student Community Therapy Clinic with a goal of making psychotherapy more accessible and affordable for people across Ontario. Since then we've seen some amazing results!

💚 More than 440 therapy sessions provided
🌱 Student therapists gaining meaningful clinical experience
🌿 The majority of sessions provided pro bono
🤝 A growing program continuing through at least December 2027

We are incredibly proud of what our students and clinicians have helped build.
And we are especially proud when the journey does not end with a student placement.

Some of the clinicians who began their journey with Harris Psychotherapy as student therapists have stayed with our practice and are now continuing their work as clinicians accepting new clients.

That growth is part of what we want Harris Psychotherapy to be: a place where people can access mental health support, emerging therapists can develop their practice, and clinicians can continue growing alongside the communities they serve.

🌿 LOOKING FOR A THERAPIST?
Our team has clinicians currently accepting new clients for virtual psychotherapy across Ontario.

🌎 WORLD MENTAL HEALTH DAY

Mental health support matters. Access to that support matters too.

At Harris Psychotherapy, one of the ways we put that belief into practice is through our student-led Community Therapy Clinic.

🌿 440 THERAPY SESSIONS
💚 94% PROVIDED PRO BONO

Since February 2026, our Community Therapy Clinic has provided 440 therapy sessions, with 94% of those sessions delivered pro bono.

For us, World Mental Health Day is an opportunity to recognize the importance of mental health care—and to celebrate the work happening every day to make that care more accessible in our community.

We are proud of the student therapists, clinicians, clients and community partners who continue to make this work possible.

🌱 LOOKING FOR MENTAL HEALTH SUPPORT?

Our practice also has clinicians currently accepting new clients.

Whether you are considering therapy for the first time, returning to therapy, or looking for a clinician who feels like a good fit, you can learn more about our team and the services available through Harris Psychotherapy on our website.

🤝 WANT TO FOLLOW THE WORK WE'RE DOING?

We are growing our presence on LinkedIn, where we'll be sharing more about our Community Therapy Clinic, community partnerships, practice updates, and the work happening behind the scenes at Harris Psychotherapy.

The holidays can bring connection, celebration and tradition—but they can also bring expectations, complicated family dynamics and pressure to keep everyone else happy.

Boundaries can help us navigate those moments, but they are not about controlling another person's choices or behaviour.
A boundary is about understanding what you are comfortable with, communicating it when needed, and deciding what you will do when something falls outside of that limit.
That might mean leaving a gathering earlier than everyone expected. Choosing not to participate in a difficult conversation. Spending less on gifts. Saying no to an invitation. Or allowing someone to be disappointed without immediately changing your decision to make the discomfort go away.
And boundaries work both ways. Other people are allowed to have needs, preferences and limits too.
Healthy boundaries don't require us to stop caring about other people's needs. They ask us to include our own needs in the conversation.
If relationships, family dynamics, stress, or overwhelm are feeling particularly difficult this holiday season, you don't need to have everything figured out before reaching out for support. Harris Psychotherapy offers individual, couples and family counselling for children, teens and adults across Ontario. Harris Psychotherapy

If you’ve tried therapy before and it didn’t feel helpful, it can be really easy to walk away thinking, “Maybe therapy just isn’t for me.”

But there can be a lot of reasons why it didn’t click the first time.

Sometimes the fit with the therapist wasn’t right.
Sometimes the timing wasn’t right.
Sometimes the approach didn’t match what you needed.
And sometimes you just needed a different kind of support.

A different therapist can feel like a completely different experience.

You’re allowed to ask questions.
You’re allowed to say when something isn’t working.
You’re allowed to want more structure, more space, more practical tools, or a different style altogether.

Trying again doesn’t mean starting from scratch. It means taking what you learned from the first experience and using it to find something that fits you better.

At Harris Psychotherapy, we offer virtual appointments across Ontario, home visits in the Niagara Region, and therapists available from **7 a.m. to 9 p.m., seven days a week**.

If you’re thinking about giving therapy another try, you can book a **free 20-minute consultation** online at **harrispsychotherapy.org**. 🌿

Today, on the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, we remember the children who never returned home, the survivors of residential schools, and the families and communities who continue to carry the impacts of that history.

This is not a day for a quick acknowledgement and then moving on. It is a day to listen, learn, reflect, and think seriously about what reconciliation asks of us in the work we do and the communities we are part of.

At Harris Psychotherapy, we know that mental health care has not always felt safe, accessible, or culturally respectful for Indigenous people. Our goal is to provide care that is trauma-informed, collaborative, and grounded in respect for each person’s lived experience, identity, culture, and community.

For Indigenous clients who choose to work with us, we aim to create space where you do not have to explain or defend who you are in order to be supported. We also recognize the importance of traditional, cultural, family, community, and land-based sources of healing, and we see psychotherapy as something that can sit alongside those supports rather than replace them.

Today, we honour Indigenous survivors, families, Elders, Knowledge Keepers, and communities, and we recommit ourselves to continuing to learn and to providing care with humility, respect, and accountability.

Every Child Matters. 🧡

Therapy has to fit into real life to be useful.

Not everyone can make a weekday 2:00 p.m. appointment work. Some people need evenings. Some need weekends. Some feel more comfortable meeting virtually from home. And for some people in Niagara, getting to an office can be a barrier in itself.

That’s why we’ve tried to build Harris Psychotherapy with flexibility in mind.
We have therapists available 7:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m., seven days a week, virtual appointments across Ontario, and a home visit program in the Niagara Region that can be explored when coming into an office or connecting virtually isn’t the best fit.
We also have both our full practice and student practice, so there are different options depending on what kind of support you’re looking for and what is financially realistic.

Therapy shouldn’t have to become one more impossible thing to fit into your life.
Sometimes making care more accessible starts with making it easier to actually show up. 🌿

You can learn more or book a free 20-minute consultation at harrispsychotherapy.org.

One of the biggest questions people have when they’re starting therapy is how they’re supposed to know whether the therapist is actually a good fit.

And honestly, I think that’s a really important question.

A good fit doesn’t necessarily mean every session feels comfortable. Therapy can be challenging sometimes. But you should still feel respected, listened to, and like you have a say in the process.

You should be able to ask questions.

You should be able to say when something doesn’t land.

You should feel like your therapist is getting to know you, rather than trying to fit you into a particular box.

And over time, there should be some sense that the work you’re doing together actually makes sense for what you need.

It’s also completely okay if the first person you meet isn’t the right fit. That doesn’t mean therapy isn’t for you.

Sometimes finding the right therapist is part of the process.

If you’re unsure where to start, our free 20-minute consultations are there for exactly that reason — to talk through what you’re looking for and see whether someone in our full practice or student practice might be a good fit.

You can book online at **harrispsychotherapy.org**. 🌿
