“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 Sunlife

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

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

Is therapy covered by OHIP?

No. OHIP does not cover therapy offered by a therapist in private practice. Many Ontarians use extended health benefits, such as those offered by Sun Life, to help pay for therapy. If you don't have extended health coverage, you'll typically pay out of pocket for sessions.

Does Sun Life cover Registered Psychotherapists (RPs)?

Yes. Many Sun Life plans reimburse sessions with Registered Psychotherapists (RPs), alongside Registered Psychologists (C.Psych.) and Registered Social Workers (RSWs). However, coverage varies by employer and plan, so it's important to verify which professional designations your specific plan includes before booking. Every First Session therapist's designation is clearly listed on their profile, making it easy to compare with your coverage.

Is Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying) covered by Sun Life?

Sometimes, but not always. Coverage for Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying), or RP (Qualifying), depends entirely on your individual Sun Life plan. Some plans reimburse only fully registered RPs, while others may include RP (Qualifying). The best way to confirm is to review your benefits booklet or contact Sun Life directly before booking.

Can I find Sun Life-eligible therapists for online sessions in Ontario?

Yes. Many therapists on First Session who hold designations commonly covered by Sun Life, such as Registered Psychotherapists (RPs), Registered Social Workers (RSWs), and Registered Psychologists (C.Psych.), offer virtual appointments to clients across Ontario. If your Sun Life plan covers your therapist's professional designation, online sessions are often reimbursed the same way as in-person therapy.

How do I submit a claim to Sun Life for therapy sessions?

Most Sun Life plans require you to pay for your therapy session first and then submit a claim for reimbursement through the Sun Life website or mobile app. After each session, your therapist will provide a detailed receipt that includes the information Sun Life typically needs to process your claim. You can upload this receipt directly through your online account or app, and reimbursement is usually deposited into your bank account once the claim is approved.

Are there per-session or annual limits under Sun Life plans?

Usually, yes. Most Sun Life plans include an annual maximum for mental health services, and some also set a maximum reimbursement amount per session or reimburse a percentage of each session's cost (for example, 80%). Because these limits vary by employer and policy, review your benefits booklet or Sun Life account before booking to understand what your plan covers.
