Our Intake Process

At Your Therapy, we aim to make starting therapy simple and supportive. Our intake process helps connect you with the right therapist quickly and with care.

  1. Getting Started: Reach out by completing our online contact form or contact us by phone (647-749-0447) or email (connect@yourtherapy.ca). We’ll collect basic details about your preferences, availability, and therapy needs.

  2. Matching You with a Therapist: Within 1 business day, we’ll review your info and let you know if a therapist is available to start therapy within 1–2 weeks.

  3. If No Therapist is Immediately Available: We’ll offer alternative support, including referrals and the option for a Brief Therapy session (70–80 minutes). This is ideal for concerns like somatization, FND, chronic illness, or parenting, and provides immediate support, strategies, and guidance while you wait. Learn more about Brief Therapy →

  4. Telephone Intake Option: Prefer to share your information verbally? We offer a $35 telephone intake session (refunded when you begin therapy).

  5. Next Steps: Once matched with a therapist or scheduled for Brief Therapy/telephone intake, we’ll help you complete your profile and forms through our secure platform—or verbally during intake.

You’ll then have a 15-minute phone consultation with your therapist to decide if you’d like to move forward. If you’re waiting, this call happens when a spot opens up, and you’ll be added to their waitlist in the meantime.
