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.

How do I know if my insurance or benefits cover therapy?

Many employer/group benefits and extended insurance plans therapy, but there are some important factors to consider. Your coverage will generally depend on the designation or license of each professional (ex. Registered Social Worker, Registered Clinical Counsellor).

Make sure to check each Therapist's profile page, under Insurance Coverage, to see what designations/coverage they fall under.

If you're unsure about coverage, you should ask your benefits provider whether they cover that specific designation of therapist or counsellor. You can also read this guide for more info.

How do I pick the right Therapist?

At First Session, we believe finding the right fit in a Therapist is the most important factor to feeling better and having a successful outcome from therapy.

Numerous research studies have proven that forming a strong client-Therapist relationship is more important than the type of therapy used.

To help you assess fit, every Therapist listed on First Session has a short introductory video you can watch to get a sense for who they are.

We've also put together a thorough guide to help you find the right Therapist, determine what the different designations mean, and what you should be looking for when assessing fit. Find the guide here.

Does First Session offer in-person appointments in Brantford?
Yes! In-person appointments are available in Brantford. You can find Therapists available for in-person appointments here.

Currently there are no in-person Therapists available in Brantford.

However, it’s important to note that whether you pursue online or in-person therapy, the single most important factor is fit and long-term consistency.

Can I find a Therapist according to my age, cultural background, sexuality or gender identity?

Absolutely. We understand that one’s cultural background, age, sexuality, or gender identity can bring unique elements to the process of therapy. 

To support every therapy seeker, we actively work to build a highly diverse and inclusive roster of therapists. 

For questions or feedback on how we can improve these element of the process, send us a message.
