Frequently Asked Questions
Understanding the Difference Between Psychotherapy and Counseling
As psychotherapists at the Natural Health Clinic of Halton, we understand that the distinction between psychotherapy and counseling can sometimes be unclear. While both professions are dedicated to supporting individuals on their mental health journey, there are key differences in their approaches that cater to various needs and goals.
Psychotherapy typically delves deeper into an individual’s emotions, behaviors, and thought patterns, often focusing on the root causes of mental health challenges. We work collaboratively with clients over a longer period, exploring underlying issues such as past trauma, deeply ingrained beliefs, and complex emotional patterns. This long-term, in-depth approach allows for profound self-awareness, healing, and personal transformation.
On the other hand, counseling is generally more focused on addressing specific, immediate challenges. Counselors may offer practical strategies and tools to help individuals navigate current life situations, such as stress management, relationship issues, or career concerns. Counseling is often more solution-oriented, aiming to provide clients with techniques to overcome present difficulties.
Both psychotherapy and counseling are valuable approaches, and at our clinic, we tailor our services to meet the individual needs of each client. Whether you are seeking short-term support for specific concerns or looking for deep, long-term emotional healing, we are here to provide the guidance and care that best suits your journey. By integrating both approaches when necessary, we strive to promote overall well-being and help clients achieve their mental health goals in the most effective way possible.
What Are the Rates for Psychotherapy in Ontario?
In Ontario, the cost of psychotherapy can range anywhere from $100 to $350 per session, depending on several factors such as the therapist’s experience, specialization, and location. Highly specialized or more experienced therapists may charge on the higher end of the scale, while those in different areas or offering general psychotherapy services might fall on the lower end. Additionally, the nature of the therapy—whether it’s individual, couples, or family therapy—can also influence the pricing.
Many psychotherapists recognize the importance of making mental health services accessible, so they offer sliding scale fees based on a client’s income or financial situation. This allows clients to receive the care they need at a rate that suits their budget. Furthermore, many therapists in Ontario accept insurance plans that cover psychotherapy services, which can significantly reduce out-of-pocket costs.
It’s essential to ask about rates, insurance coverage, and any payment plans during the initial consultation to ensure that the services align with your financial situation. By discussing these details upfront, clients can enter therapy with a clear understanding of the costs involved, ensuring affordability and transparency throughout the therapeutic process.
At the Natural Health Clinic of Halton, we strive to offer flexible payment options to meet our clients’ needs, ensuring that mental health support remains within reach for all individuals seeking care.
How effective is Hypnotherapy and what are the benefits?
Hypnotherapy is a powerful treatment modality, especially when combined with Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), and/or mindfulness-based approaches to behavioural change. A growing body of research now validates clinical hypnosis as a highly effective tool for pain reduction, stress, anxiety, and a range of medical issues. It is unfortunate that so many have distorted views of hypnosis. In the therapeutic relationship, unlike in the entertainment industry, clients access a peaceful state of internally focused concentration, which allows for creative insight and higher awareness. This state of focused concentration is not unlike the brain wave state that is achieved in deep meditation.
How can Clinical Counselling Hypnotherapy help?
Clinical Counselling Hypnotherapy can assist us in engaging our deep, primordial sense of knowing and healing
During hypnosis, you can easily bypass top-down processing of emotional pain, long-standing core issues, and fear. In brain-speak, “top-down” processing generally refers to a reliance upon language-based centers and rational-thinking parts of the mind to figure things out.
Clinical hypnosis in conjunction with psychotherapy can be useful in the following areas:
- Habit Control
- Sport Performance
- Public Speaking
- Academic improvement
- Stress Reduction
- Insomnia
- Pain Control
- Fears, Phobias, Anxiety
- Depression and mood
- Obsessive and compulsive behaviours
- Core Belief Transformation
- Forgiveness Work
- Decision Making

Patient Care
Patient Care – What to expect
First Contact
When you first call for information we will explain the initial process of assessing what your difficulties and therapeutic needs may be. Before you ever come in, you will be told about our fees, how payment is made, where our office is located.
First Visit
During your first visit, we will ask you about what your current difficulties are, about your current lifestyle, your physical health and your childhood and life experiences. This process usually takes two sessions, after which we will be in a better position to make recommendations, explain whether we think we can be of help, and, if so, how therapy might proceed.
This assessment process allows you to assess us as well, to ask questions and to see if the rapport between the two of us is sufficient for this type of work. We strongly believe you should feel comfortable with the therapist you choose, and hopeful about the therapy. When you feel this way, therapy is more likely to be very helpful to you.
Confidentiality
What You Should Know about Confidentiality in Therapy
We will treat with great care all the information you share with us. It is your legal right that our sessions and our records about you will be kept private. That is why we ask you to sign a release-of-records form before we can talk about you or send records about you to anyone else. In general, we will tell no one what you tell us. We will not even reveal that you are receiving treatment from us. In all but a few rare situations, your confidentiality (that is, our privacy) is protected by federal and provincial laws and by the rules of our profession. The limits of confidentiality are as follows:
If you make a serious threat to harm yourself or another person, the law requires us to try to protect you or that other person. This usually means telling others about the threat. We cannot promise never to tell others about the threats you make.
If we believe a child has been or will be abused or neglected, we are legally required to report this to the authorities.
If you were sent to us by a court or an employer for evaluation or treatment, the court or employer expects a report from me. If this is your situation, please talk with us before you tell me anything you do not want the court or your employer to know. You have a right to tell us only what you are comfortable with telling.
Are you suing someone or being sued? Are you being charged with a crime? If so, and you tell the court that you are seeing us, we may then be ordered to show the court our records. Please consult your lawyer about these issues.
Fees
Are psychotherapeutic services covered by OHIP?
No, services offered by a psychotherapist are not covered by OHIP. However, our fees are reimbursed by extended health care insurance, which you may have through your work. The fees situation is more like that at a dentist’s office than at a primary healthcare’s.
We work on a fee for service basis, and people typically pay as they go, at the end of each session, receiving a receipt suitable for submission to their insurance company. A personal cheque or cash is acceptable to all our psychotherapists and some accept payment by credit card or e-transfer.
You will find that, when you pay for your therapy after each session, debt is not built up and your therapy becomes a budgeted expense, like other weekly expenses such as groceries.
Registered psychotherapists have extensive mental health and psychotherapeutic training and experience.
Registered psychotherapists are regulated and licensed by the College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario, which has the power to discipline, fine and revoke the license of psychotherapists who have not performed their job competently and hurt a client. As a result, the proficiency level and honor of the profession of psychotherapy is ensured and protects you when you seek help.
Only therapists registered with the College of Psychotherapists can use the title “psychotherapist”. Therefore, when you see a psychotherapist, you can be assured that he or she is an exceptionally well trained, well experienced, and well-regulated health care professional.
In case of conflict and after talking about it with your psychotherapist, you also have recourse to a higher authority, the College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario, if you are unhappy with the behavior of the psychotherapist.
