About Us

Why We Exist

Over 1.3 million Canadians have unmet mental health care needs every year — and cost is the number one barrier. We're working to change that.

Our Mission

Access to Therapy is a registered Canadian charity dedicated to removing the financial and systemic barriers that prevent people from receiving mental health support. We believe everyone deserves compassionate, ongoing care — regardless of income, background, or life circumstances.

We partner with licensed mental health professionals who offer reduced rates, and we cover 100% of each client's counselling fees directly. No means testing, no session limits, no surprise bills — ever.

How It Works

Three steps to healing

1

Partner with practitioners

Licensed mental health professionals offering reduced rates receive guaranteed, on-schedule payments from us — so they can focus on care, not billing.

2

Online application

Applicants fill out a short form, sign a brief waiver, and join our first-come, first-served waitlist. Everyone is treated equally.

3

Ongoing counselling

Clients receive continuous support with no arbitrary session limits. Consistent, compassionate care for as long as it's needed.

"I wanted to meet new people in similar situations. I like that I am listened to and given relevant information to deal with what I'm experiencing — but not in a clinical way. I look forward to this group each month."

"Access to Therapy connected me with an incredible counsellor at a time in my life when I truly needed support but couldn't afford it. The process was smooth and compassionate. This experience has been deeply healing in ways that are hard to put into words."

"As a single Mom on disability, there was no money to pay for it. I have been connected with my therapist for 14 weeks now and have made progress I was never able to make in 10 years of trying to heal on my own."
