Therapy Approaches
We're here for what you're going through
What brings you here today? Choose what feels closest — you can always change your mind.
Anxiety
Feeling overwhelmed, worried, or on edge? We can help you find calm.
Depression
Struggling with sadness, low energy, or hopelessness? You're not alone.
Trauma & PTSD
Past experiences affecting your present? Healing is possible.
Relationship Issues
Navigating conflict, communication, or connection challenges.
Burnout & Work Stress
Feeling exhausted, detached, or unfulfilled in your career.
Grief & Loss
There's no timeline and no right way to grieve. You don't have to carry it alone.
Life Transitions
Major changes like moves, loss, or identity shifts can be disorienting.
OCD & Intrusive Thoughts
Unwanted thoughts and rituals that are hard to interrupt.
Alcohol & Drug Addiction
Look at your drinking or drug use honestly — no shame, no ultimatums.
I'm not sure yet
You don't need the right words before you begin. We'll figure it out together.
Ready when you are.
The first conversation is free and takes fifteen minutes. There's nothing to prepare, and nothing you need to explain perfectly.
Getting started is simple
We've made it easy to take the first step. No long forms, no confusing processes—just a clear path forward.
Tell us what's going on
A few questions about what you're experiencing and what you're looking for. Takes about a minute. No account, no long forms.
Talk to a therapist, free
A 15-minute conversation with one of our clinicians — not an intake coordinator. We'll talk through what's happening and whether we're the right fit.
Begin, at your pace
If it feels right, we book your first full session and plan care together. If it doesn't, we'll say so honestly and help you find someone who does fit.
Takes about a minute. No account needed.
Why people choose Niwa
We're a two-clinician practice, which means you're never passed between an intake team, an algorithm, and a stranger. The person who takes your first call is the person you'll be working with.
You talk to the clinician who'll treat you
No intake department, no matching quiz, no handoff. Your first conversation is with the therapist you'd be seeing.
Evidence-based, and more than that
We use approaches with real research behind them — CBT, DBT, ERP, and others — alongside depth-oriented work that gets at why patterns repeat.
Virtual across Ontario
Sessions by video or phone, from wherever you have privacy. No commute, no waiting room. Evening appointments available.
Coverage handled
Most extended health plans cover a Registered Psychotherapist. We direct-bill where plans permit, and we're an enrolled NIHB provider — eligible First Nations and Inuit clients pay nothing.
What people ask before they start
The questions we hear most often, answered plainly.
What if I don't know what's wrong?
Most people don't when they first call. You don't need a diagnosis, an explanation, or the right vocabulary. Describing the last bad week is enough to start.
What if I don't click with the therapist?
Then it isn't the right fit, and that's useful information rather than a failure. Tell us, and we'll help you find someone who suits you better — including outside our practice.
Do I have to commit to anything?
No. The 15-minute consultation is free and carries no obligation. Plenty of people use it to work out whether therapy is what they want at all.
Ready to take the first step?
Reaching out is the hardest part. The rest is a conversation.
