We shape therapy around what you’re actually dealing with, drawing from a range of evidence-based methods. Your therapist works with you to find the right fit.
Not sure which is right? You don’t have to choose. Your therapist matches the approach to what you’re working through, and adapts as you go.
Explore all 18 approachesWhat the research says
We’ll always be honest about evidence. Therapy is well studied, though no ethical therapist can promise how it will go for any one person.
In a formal 2012 resolution, the American Psychological Association said it is widely accepted that the average effects of psychotherapy are significant and large compared with no treatment, and quite consistent across most conditions.
Across 295 studies and more than 30,000 clients, a stronger working relationship with the therapist was linked to better results. It’s why we take fit so seriously.
A review that identified 269 meta-analyses of CBT found the strongest support for anxiety, anger control and general stress, among other concerns.
In that same 2018 review, the link between a strong therapist relationship and better outcomes also held across 23 studies of internet-delivered therapy, mostly guided online programs, at about the same strength as face-to-face.
Our Registered Psychotherapists do not diagnose or prescribe, and we’ll tell you honestly if you’d be better served elsewhere. When it helps, we work alongside your family doctor.
Not just clinicians, but people who listen.
At the heart of InnerSight are therapists deeply invested in your growth. Our team brings specialized training in approaches like CBT, DBT, and Solution-Focused Therapy, and pairs it with the kind of listening you can feel.
We provide a supportive environment where you can explore what’s hard, gain clarity, and work toward a healthier, more fulfilling life, at your pace and on your terms.

How far could your benefits go?
Pick your plan’s yearly maximum for a Registered Psychotherapist.
An estimate, not a quote or a promise of coverage. Plans differ on the percentage reimbursed, per-visit limits, deductibles and which providers they recognize, so check your benefits booklet or ask your insurer about “Registered Psychotherapist” and “Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying).”

Anyone can say they’re good at this. Here’s what you can verify about us in about two minutes, without speaking to anyone.
Regulated, not self-declared
“Psychotherapist” is a protected title in Ontario. Our team are Registered Psychotherapists, accountable to a College with a public complaints process.
See every therapist’s registrationSupervised every month
Our therapists meet for clinical supervision every month, so the work stays accountable to someone other than the person doing it.

How do I know if I need therapy?
You don’t need to be in crisis to benefit from therapy. If you feel stuck, overwhelmed, disconnected, or keep facing the same challenges, therapy can help you understand what’s happening and move forward.
How many sessions will I need?
It depends on your goals and circumstances. Some people benefit from short-term, focused work, while others choose longer-term support for deeper growth and healing. Your therapist will talk this through with you, and you stay in control of the pace.
What if I don’t know exactly what’s wrong?
That’s completely normal. Many people start therapy without a clear idea of the problem. Making sense of what you’re experiencing is part of the work, not something you need to sort out beforehand.
Will my insurance cover psychotherapy?
Many extended health benefit plans cover services provided by Registered Psychotherapists. We recommend checking directly with your insurance provider, and we’re happy to provide receipts for reimbursement. We also bill Sun Life, Beneva (formerly SSQ) and Green Shield directly.
Can I switch therapists if the fit isn’t right?
Absolutely. Finding the right fit matters more than anything, and it’s not unusual to need a different match. Just let us know, and our team will help connect you with another therapist.
Do I need a referral to start?
No referral is needed. You can book directly with us, starting with a free 20-minute consultation by phone or video, with no commitment to continue.
How much does individual therapy cost in Vaughan?
A standard session is $180 for 55 minutes, and your first full appointment is a 70-minute initial assessment at $245. Before any of that, the 20-minute consultation is free.
