Affordable Therapy

Someone at Spacious Mind Counselling is the right therapist for you.  You want to be confident that you can afford to work with the right therapist.  That’s just good common sense: You don’t want to start something unless you can keep at it long enough to hit paydirt.

One could say that all of our therapists are “affordable,” in that you get priceless feedback on how to get more out of life, and in that we could probably charge much more than we do.  At the same time, like every service one pays for, therapy can add up over time.  That also means that every bit of savings adds up, too.  Even if you know you can afford therapy, every bit helps.  We understand.

That’s why, with some of our therapists, we’re glad to offer therapy at a reduced rate.  In general, that means your therapist can work with you at $85/hour, but in some situations we or they are open to working on a sliding scale.  (Feel free to tell us all about your situation, and we’ll figure it out.)

You’d be working with one of our therapists-in-training (i.e. a student therapist) – in this case Samantha Dupre.  Life experience tends to be what makes a therapist helpful and empathetic.  Between her previous line of work and her experience as a mother of two, Samantha has deep life experience to draw on, all of which can help you navigate yours.

What’s the “catch” with affordable therapy?  Only that your counsellor isn’t 100% done with training yet (more like 90%), and doesn’t have the venerable letters next to his or her name yet.  That’s it.  Student therapists benefit from affordable therapy, because it’s how they complete their training.  Meanwhile, you get an excellent soon-to-be therapist early in his or her career, and you can start feeling the benefits as soon as you meet.

The highest price does not mean it’s the best advice.  Some of the most effective suggestions you’ve ever gotten were free.  Others may not be free, but can still be affordable.

Feel free to contact Spacious Mind Counselling today to book a free 20-minute consultation with Samantha, to discuss what’s on your mind and – if you’d like – to work together at rate that’s doable for you (at her office in Guelph or in an online setting).
