“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.”

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 female

  • Burnout from endless search results and unhelpful female profiles.
  • Disappointment and frustration from generic intake calls and unproductive ‘free’ consultations.
  • Emotional stress from repeatedly revealing private thoughts and feelings to incompatible females
  • 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 female with First Session

  • Instantly create a short-list of females qualified to support your journey
  • Get to know a female’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

Are there female therapists available in person in Toronto?

Yes. Toronto has a large pool of female therapists offering in-person sessions across the city and the Greater Toronto Area, as well as many who work online.

Can I see a female therapist online if I live in Toronto?

Yes. You can choose from female therapists based in Toronto and therapists elsewhere in Canada who are authorized to provide services to Ontario clients online. Online therapy can be a convenient option and is often just as effective for addressing common concerns as in-person therapy. 

Why might someone prefer a female therapist?

You may feel more comfortable discussing certain experiences with a woman, want a therapist who understands aspects of your lived experience, or simply find that you connect more naturally with female therapists. Gender can be one factor to consider alongside a therapist's specialty, experience, and approach.

What concerns do female therapists in Toronto on First Session treat?

Female therapists on First Session work with a wide range of concerns, including anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship issues, grief, stress, burnout, maternal and perinatal mental health, and more. You can use the specialty filters to narrow your search based on the type of support you're looking for.

How much does therapy cost in Toronto?

Private therapy sessions in Toronto typically range from $150–$250 CAD, although fees vary depending on the therapist's designation, experience, specialty, and practice. Your extended health benefits may cover some of the cost, so it's always a good idea to check what's covered.

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

Every therapist on First Session has a short introductory video, so you can get a sense of their personality, communication style, and therapeutic approach before reaching out. You can also book a free 15-minute consultation directly from the therapist's profile to ask questions and see whether you feel comfortable working together before committing to ongoing sessions.
