Workplace Mental Health Support for Ontario Employers

Mental health shows up at work. Sometimes you see it in more people using their benefits, more sick time and leaves, or difficulty keeping people on your team. Sometimes it's quieter than that. You might notice that someone on your team is struggling and it all seems to be catching up with them.
‍
If you're an HR professional or a people-focused leader in your workplace, and you're starting to look for ways to address these concerns, we hope you've landed in the right spot.

We're here to help with the human parts of business

We start with a consultation to learn about the goals of your business or organization. We want to hear about what is working, what is not working, what is different than you expected and what you dream it could be like. From all of this, we provide a consultation report following our meeting with our recommendations for support.

We offer business services virtually across Canada with in-person options in London Middlesex and the GTA.

What is the difference between Gibson & Associates and The Nest Collective?

Gibson & Associates provides psychotherapy and individualized mental health care. The Nest Collective focuses on workplace and organizational mental health services, including training, assessments, and consultations for businesses and professionals. Together, these services offer employers options for supporting both individual mental health needs and broader workplace well-being.

Can employees use their existing workplace insurance benefits for therapy?

In many cases, employees can use their existing extended health benefits to help cover psychotherapy, depending on their individual plan, coverage limits, and eligibility requirements. Gibson & Associates offers direct billing where available and can help employees understand their options. Coverage and reimbursement are determined by the applicable insurance plan, so employees should confirm their benefits before booking.

How can workplace mental health support benefit an organization?

Workplace mental health support can help organizations build mental health awareness, equip leaders with practical skills, improve access to care, and create a more supportive employee experience. Over time, these efforts may contribute to employee well-being, engagement, and retention.
