“I don’t feel like myself anymore”

While taking care of everyone else’s needs, your own mental and physical care can slide to the back burner without you even noticing. Before you know it, you don’t recognize the person in the mirror. This can leave you asking, “Who am I?”, “What makes me happy?”, “What do I want my life to look like?”

About Us

Why Work With Desjardins Psychotherapy Clinic

We believe it is possible to see change;
we put all our efforts and commitment toward improving your mental health.

When you’re struggling with negative emotions and intrusive thoughts, or just trying to understand yourself (or your partner) better, it can be hard to know what you need. There are so many competing priorities that you feel overwhelmed in a life that isn’t giving you enough confidence, peace, or calm. We want to help you heal from your emotional pain and learn how to grow within yourself.

With over 20 years of combined experience, we provide therapy that supports and empowers individuals, couples, and families. We walk with you on your healing journey toward strength and resilience, and we use a variety of evidence-based approaches to help you get the results you need.

Frequently Asked Questions

We do not do direct billing to insurance companies. It is the client’s responsibility to ensure their insurance benefits will reimburse psychotherapy services provided by a psychotherapist. Each insurance plan is different, therefore, it is important that the client inquires with their insurance company to determine if psychotherapy services are covered.

Yes, we provide affordable psychotherapy. This service is provided by a student intern. Click here to learn more about our low-cost therapy.

If you need to cancel or reschedule an appointment, we require at least 48 hours’ notice. Appointments cancelled or rescheduled between 48 hours and 24 hours of the scheduled appointment will be billed at 50% of the session fee. Cancellations or rescheduling within 24 hours will result in a charge for the full session fee.

A “no-show” occurs when a client does not attend their scheduled appointment without providing prior notice. In this case, the full session fee will be charged.

We suggest reviewing each of our clinicians’ bio pages to determine the right fit with expertise and experience. If you have any questions or are unsure of whom to work with, please contact us.

Every therapy session is confidential between the client and therapist. A parent may attend their child’s session only with their consent. Any information that is shared during a session will remain confidential unless certain conditions require us to divulge information to a third party. If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to contact us.
