Depending on the therapist and your individual needs, psychotherapy at Thrive may support concerns including:
- Anxiety and stress
- Depression and mood concerns
- Trauma and difficult past experiences
- Relationship and interpersonal concerns
- Couples and family challenges
- Parenting concerns
- Anger and emotional regulation
- Self-esteem and self-worth
- Grief and loss
- Life transitions
- Family-of-origin concerns
- Attachment and relationship patterns
- Substance use and addictive behaviours
- Disordered eating
- Emotional distress associated with health or medical concerns
Not every therapist works with every concern. Finding a therapist whose experience and approach are a good fit for your needs is an important part of the process.

What Can I Expect From Psychotherapy?
Your first appointment is an opportunity to talk about what brings you to therapy, what you would like support with and what you hope to gain from the process.
Your therapist will work with you to better understand your concerns and develop an approach that reflects your individual needs, goals and circumstances. Therapy is collaborative, and the techniques used will vary depending on both the therapist and the person, couple or family receiving care.
It can also take time to determine whether a therapist feels like the right fit. Feeling comfortable with the therapeutic relationship is an important part of the process, and you are encouraged to ask questions about your therapist’s experience and approach.
In-Person and Virtual Psychotherapy
Psychotherapy appointments at Thrive are available in person and virtually, depending on the practitioner and type of appointment.
Virtual care can provide greater flexibility for clients who prefer to attend appointments from home, while in-person sessions are available at our Burlington clinic.
When booking, select the appointment format offered by your chosen therapist that best meets your needs.
Is Psychotherapy Covered by Insurance?
Many extended health benefit plans provide coverage for services delivered by a Registered Psychotherapist (RP); however, coverage varies considerably between plans.
We recommend checking your individual policy to confirm that Registered Psychotherapy is included in your benefits and whether your insurer has any specific requirements for reimbursement.
