Appointments, fees, and insurance

Relationship Clinic offers virtual relationship therapy to clients in Ontario, Alberta, British Columbia, Manitoba, and Saskatchewan, as well as in-person appointments in Thornhill. Fees, therapist availability, appointment format, and therapist matching are discussed during your complimentary consultation. Many extended health insurance plans cover psychotherapy services, and we can help you determine whether direct billing is available with your insurance provider. Receipts are provided for eligible services and can be submitted for reimbursement when applicable.

Support After the Relationship Ends

The end of a relationship can bring grief, shock, relief, confusion, anger, and fear all at once. Therapy offers a steady space to process what happened and rebuild a sense of self during a major transition.

Looking Back Without Staying Stuck

Sessions may explore attachment patterns, boundaries, communication, red flags, self-trust, and the practical impact of separation. The goal is not to blame yourself or your former partner, but to understand what you need moving forward.

Related Support

If you are still deciding whether to separate, discernment counselling or individual relationship therapy may be more appropriate. If separation has already happened, breakup support focuses on healing, clarity, and rebuilding.
