A private hour that belongs entirely to you. Individual counselling pairs you with a registered psychotherapist to untangle what's been building up — on your schedule, at your pace.
Think of individual counselling as protected time to think out loud with a professional who knows how change actually happens. Over 50-minute sessions, a registered psychotherapist helps you name what's really going on beneath the surface — whether that's a specific problem you want solved or a pattern you've noticed for years. You won't be judged, rushed, or handed generic advice; instead you'll leave sessions with concrete, research-backed tools to practise in daily life.
At Counselling Mississauga — by McDowall Integrative Psychology & Healthcare — every counsellor is a registered psychotherapist or supervised clinician, and every plan starts with a free consultation so you know the fit, the approach and the cost before committing to anything.
Counselling isn't only for emergencies — most of our clients simply reached a point where handling it alone stopped working. Recognize yourself below? The free consultation costs nothing but twenty minutes.
Different problems — and different people — call for different methods. Every approach we use is research-backed, and your counsellor tailors the mix to you rather than forcing you into a formula.
The most-researched talk therapy — identifies the thought and behaviour loops keeping you stuck, and replaces them with skills that hold up under stress.
Builds psychological flexibility: making room for hard feelings while moving toward what actually matters to you.
Slower, deeper work for people who want understanding and change at the level of feelings, not just habits.
Tell us what's going on and what you're hoping for. No commitment, no cost.
We match you with a registered psychotherapist who fits your needs and style.
Start weekly or bi-weekly sessions, in person in Mississauga or by secure video.
Sessions typically run weekly or every other week at first. After an initial conversation about your history and goals, you and your therapist choose a working style together — structured approaches like CBT if you like frameworks, or slower relational work if you want depth. Progress gets reviewed openly, so counselling never drifts.
Master's-level clinicians under close clinical supervision — quality care at the most accessible rate.
The most popular choice for individual counselling — covered by most extended health plans.
Senior clinicians for complex or specialized work. Receipts provided for insurance.
If your benefits plan lists "registered psychotherapist" (most Ontario extended health plans do), your sessions are likely reimbursable — we provide receipts for every visit. Note that OHIP doesn't cover psychotherapy. Your free consultation locks in the exact cost before anything starts.
Comfortable, private offices with evening and weekend availability. In-person care is also available at our Toronto, Brampton and Mississauga locations.
Secure, privacy-compliant video sessions with the same registered psychotherapists. Ideal for busy schedules, parents, and anyone outside Mississauga.
We work with clients from across Mississauga and Peel Region — families in Erin Mills and Meadowvale, professionals commuting from the Square One corridor, students, and newcomers building a life in one of Canada's fastest-growing cities. Evening and weekend availability makes appointments workable around GO Transit and highway commutes, and secure video sessions cover the days when Hurontario traffic makes in-person impossible.
No referral, no waitlist. Book a free consultation, or let us match you with the right counsellor in Mississauga.
