What Psychotherapy Is and Who It Helps
Psychotherapy is talk-based mental health care. You meet with a therapist, and together you look at thoughts, emotions, behaviours, and whatever is sitting heavily in your life right now. The goal is greater self-awareness and practical ways to cope, not advice handed down from across a desk.
People come in for a wide range of reasons: ongoing stress, anxiety, a job or relationship in transition, feeling emotionally overwhelmed, or wanting to build resilience before things reach a breaking point. It suits you if you want space to think out loud with someone trained to listen and help you make sense of it. At Balance Integrative Health in Burlington, psychotherapy sits alongside our other integrative services, so care can be joined up when that helps.

What a Psychotherapy Session Looks Like
The first session is mostly about getting to know you and what brought you in. From there, the pace and focus are yours to shape.
- 01
The first conversation
You talk through what is going on and what you would like to be different. Your therapist asks questions to understand the fuller picture, including relevant history. - 02
Setting a direction
Together you name what you want to work on. This can shift over time, and that's expected. Consent to the approach is ongoing, and you can change course whenever you need to. - 03
The work between sessions
You may leave with something to notice, try, or reflect on. Nothing is compulsory. Progress tends to come from small, steady steps rather than one big breakthrough.
What Psychotherapy Costs and What Covers It
Fees are set out before your first session, so there are no surprises. Ask us for the current rate when you book, or find it on your intake information.
Many extended health benefit plans include coverage for psychotherapy or registered mental health services. Coverage varies by plan and by the practitioner's designation, so check your policy for the specific title it reimburses and any annual limit. We provide a receipt after each session that you can submit to your insurer. If cost is a barrier, tell us, and we'll talk through the options.
