We offer Psychotherapy services for a wide range of needs. I truly believe that the smallest change in the way we view ourselves can cause a positive transformation. There is beauty in transformation and growth – The Butterfly Effect. What is different about Butterfly Effect Psychotherapy? Butterfly Effect Psychotherapy integrates the most current and modern evidence-based therapy methods to help you on your healing journey. Every client is individualized and will benefit from different combinations of approaches. This is your place to heal – we are focused on you and your well-being. We will challenge and educate you to help you get rid of unhelpful patterns, behaviours and thinking while empowering you. We know your potential and we help you tap into that through gaining strength and courage, and begin to find out how to recreate yourself. It is our goal to help you feel safe to make this transformative journey and change what has not worked for you.

Simply contact us to request a complimentary consultation. Once you feel like your therapist is a good fit for your needs, you can create an account by clicking “Client Portal” on our website. You will receive intake forms to fill out before your intake session. Please note for couples and family sessions, each person would have to fill out their own forms.
No, it is not mandatory. We want you to feel as comfortable as possible. The free consultation gives you an opportunity to ask questions about the therapy we offer and for you to tell us a little bit about yourself. This will also allow us to see if we are a “good match”. We can collaborate and discuss the best options for you during the consultation.
The longevity of the therapy is individualized and depends on how much the individual needs, goals and history. Each individual session lasts approximately 50 minutes, although we might sometimes recommend a longer or shorter session. Sessions can be weekly, biweekly, monthly, etc and this will be decided by you and your therapist.
In consideration of other clients, we ask that you give us a minimum of 24-hour notice to cancel or reschedule an appointment. Failure to give us 24 hour notice, will result in you being charged the full session rate.

Our Registered Psychotherapist fees range depending on the provider’s designation, experience, and the type of treatment required by the client.

All fees are within the recommended ranges by the professional colleges of each provider.

We also have an Intern program that offers a reduced rate. Please let us know if you are interested in this opportunity. Please double-check with your insurance provider to confirm they cover Registered Psychotherapists.

We provide a limited amount of reduced fee services for clients based on their financial need. You can ask about this option when you contact us.

Confidentiality is our priority, so unless you approach and speak to your therapist, they will respect your confidentiality and not acknowledge you in public.

It is totally up to you if you want to say hello and break your own confidentiality. If you say hello, your therapist will then acknowledge you in public. This is YOUR process and it is important to us that you are comfortable.

We are currently a fully virtual clinic.
