Finding the right therapist matters. It’s not only about a clinician’s experience and expertise, but also about finding someone whose approach fits your needs and preferences.
At Toronto Psychology Centre, we take time to understand what brings you to therapy, what you’re hoping to achieve, and what matters to you in a therapeutic relationship. During our complimentary 15-minute introductory call, our care coordination team will learn about your concerns, goals, and preferences. Following the call, we’ll review this information and recommend clinicians whose experience and approach may be well suited to your needs. You’ll have the opportunity to consider these options and choose the therapist you feel most comfortable starting with.
Our psychologists and registered social workers do not offer separate complimentary meet-and-greet appointments. Instead, your first therapy session provides an opportunity to explore your concerns more deeply and begin building a therapeutic relationship. Our background questionnaires also help your therapist understand your experiences, goals, and preferences so that treatment can be tailored to your needs.
Trust and connection develop over time, and no matching process can guarantee the right fit. We encourage open communication throughout therapy and welcome feedback about what’s working and what may need to change. If we don’t believe we have a clinician who can appropriately address your needs, we’ll let you know.
