“I wish I’d known about this platform sooner! I loved the introductory videos–this is what helped me choose the therapist to book an intro consultation with.”

First Session Client, 2025

Helping Every Therapy Seeker Find the Right Fit

Compatibility is the most important factor when choosing a therapist. But finding the right fit isn’t easy. First Session takes the time, guesswork, and emotional labour out of that process.

  • Search a curated therapist network

    Narrow your search to a list of rigorously vetted therapists you’ll actually consider booking. Because finding a therapist shouldn’t involve reading endless generic bios.

  • Assess for fit before you commit

    Decide if a therapist is the right fit for you before booking with interview videos and in-depth bios. No more switching or re-telling your private feelings and story

  • Book directly (and instantly)

    Schedule an available session or free consultation right from the First Session platform. No 3rd party intake calls or back and forth emailing required.

Free yourself from the stress of endless searching and switching

Convenience-first approach to finding a Canada Life

  • Burnout from endless search results and unhelpful Canada Life profiles.
  • Disappointment and frustration from generic intake calls and unproductive ‘free’ consultations.
  • Emotional stress from repeatedly revealing private thoughts and feelings to incompatible Canada Lifes
  • Stalled mental health progress because of limited availability, timezone differences, or constantly switching providers
  • Risk of abandoning therapy process altogether because of frustration, exhaustion, or depression

Connection-first approach to finding a Canada Life with First Session

  • Instantly create a short-list of Canada Lifes qualified to support your journey
  • Get to know a Canada Life’s personality, approach, and experience before booking
  • Share your private history, thoughts, and feelings only if there’s a connection
  • Save time and minimize stress by finding the right fit without endless switching
  • Make meaningful progress sooner and commit to lasting, meaningful change

Frequently Asked Questions

Does Canada Life cover therapy in Toronto?

Yes, many Canada Life plans cover therapy and other mental health services, but there isn't a single Canada Life coverage policy. Your eligible therapist designations, reimbursement amount, annual maximum, and any referral requirements all depend on your specific employer-sponsored or individual plan. Before booking, sign in to GroupNet for Plan Members or review your benefits booklet to confirm exactly what's covered.

Does Canada Life cover Registered Psychotherapists (RPs) in Toronto?

Yes, many Canada Life plans cover Registered Psychotherapists (RPs), as well as Registered Psychologists (C.Psych.) and Registered Social Workers (RSWs). However, coverage varies by plan, so it's important to verify which professional designations your specific plan includes before booking. 

Is Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying) covered by Canada Life?

Some plans reimburse only fully registered RPs, while others may include RP (Qualifying). The best way to confirm is to check your benefits through GroupNet or contact Canada Life directly before booking.

Does Canada Life cover online therapy?

Many Canada Life plans cover virtual therapy sessions in the same way they cover in-person sessions, provided the therapist's professional designation is covered under your plan. Coverage rules vary, so it's worth confirming your specific benefits before booking an online appointment.

Is therapy covered by OHIP?

No. OHIP generally does not cover therapy. That's why many people use extended health benefits, such as those offered by Canada Life, to help pay for therapy. If you don't have extended health coverage, you'll typically pay out of pocket for sessions.

How do I know if a therapist is the right fit before booking?

Every First Session therapist has a short introduction video and a detailed profile, allowing you to get a sense of their personality, communication style, and therapeutic approach before booking. You can also schedule a free 15-minute consultation to ask questions, discuss your goals, and decide whether they feel like the right fit before committing to ongoing therapy.
