Yes. We offer virtual and telephone counselling to clients anywhere in Ontario, delivered through a secure, PHIPA-compliant video platform. Virtual therapy provides the same collaborative process as in-person sessions, with the added flexibility of being able to meet from home, work, or while travelling within the province.

Yes. We offer in-person counselling at three locations: London (18 Becher St), Toronto (366 Adelaide Street East), and Barrie (11 Patterson Road). Clients can also book virtual sessions across Ontario through the same therapists.

Yes. Gibson & Associates was founded with a clinical specialization in trauma, and trauma-informed care underlies every service we offer. Our team is trained in evidence-based trauma modalities including EMDR, somatic approaches, and trauma-focused CBT, and we work with clients recovering from single-incident trauma, complex trauma, childhood adversity, workplace trauma, and intergenerational trauma. Learn more on our Trauma Therapy page.

We work with clients of all ages; there’s no minimum age at Gibson & Associates. For infants and pre-verbal children, we work directly with parents to support early development and attachment. Once a child is old enough to engage more directly, we offer child-centred therapy. We also work with teens, adults, and couples. For couples and family work, see our Marriage Counselling page.

We’re not able to support clients in crisis or those who need more extensive mental health services, including inpatient or crisis emergency care.

Yes. Gibson & Associates has a clinical specialty in supporting healthcare workers, first responders, and other high-stress professions. Several of our therapists have direct experience with vicarious trauma, moral injury, and burnout in these settings.

Yes. Everything you share with your therapist is confidential and protected under PHIPA (Ontario’s Personal Health Information Protection Act). Your therapist will review privacy practices in detail in your first session, including the small number of legal and ethical exceptions — such as imminent risk of harm to yourself or someone else, or suspected abuse of a child — that all Ontario therapists are required to follow.

Most clients begin with weekly 50-minute sessions, then move to biweekly or monthly as goals are met. The right cadence depends on what you’re working on, how acute your concerns are, and what’s sustainable for your schedule and budget. Your therapist will collaborate with you on a frequency that supports progress without becoming a burden.

Sessions at Gibson & Associates range from $170 to $260 per 50-minute session, depending on your therapist’s experience level. Couples and family sessions typically range from $175 to $300 for a standard 50-minute session. We also offer reduced student fees and free and low-fee student intern therapy. See our full Therapy Costs and Payment Options page for current rates and sliding-scale availability. Rates are subject to change and variability.

Fit matters more than almost any other variable in therapy outcomes. If your first session with one of our therapists isn’t the right fit, we’ll offer you a complimentary session with another therapist on our team. We call this our right-fit guarantee.

Most extended health benefit plans in Ontario cover psychotherapy, though coverage varies by provider and plan. Sessions with Registered Social Workers are commonly covered. OHIP does not cover private psychotherapy. You’ll receive a receipt to submit to your insurer, and we accept Mental Health Spending Accounts. If you’d like help understanding your specific plan, see reach out to us for a breakdown by insurer.

Direct billing depends on your insurance provider. We can confirm your specific direct-billing options at the time of booking. If we’re unable to direct bill, we provide a receipt with everything you need to submit for reimbursement yourself.

Cancellations made more than 48 hours before your appointment can be rescheduled at no charge. Cancellations within 48 hours are charged the full session fee. This helps us offer your spot to another client who may be waiting.
