Frequently asked therapy questions
How much does therapy cost in Winnipeg?
In Winnipeg, therapy typically costs between $100 and $200 per session, depending on the therapist's qualifications and experience. Sessions are usually 50 minutes long. Some therapists in Winnipeg offer sliding scale pricing, which adjusts the session fee based on your income or financial situation. This can make therapy more affordable if cost is a barrier.
Is therapy covered by Manitoba Health?
Manitoba Health does not cover the cost of private practice therapy. However, you may have full or partial coverage through your employee benefits plan, private insurance, or student health plan.
Do I need a referral to see a therapist in Winnipeg?
You do not need a referral to see a therapist in Winnipeg. You can book directly with a counsellor, psychotherapist, psychologist, or clinical social worker without going through a doctor.
If you want to see a psychiatrist — a medical doctor who can diagnose psychiatric disorders and prescribe medication but typically does not provide talk therapy — you will need a referral from your family doctor. The cost of seeing a psychiatrist is covered by Manitoba Health.
For ongoing talk therapy, a therapist is often the right choice, and you can connect with one directly.
Can I access online therapy if I live outside Winnipeg?
Yes. Many Winnipeg therapists offer secure online therapy to clients anywhere in Manitoba, including Brandon, Steinbach, Thompson, and rural communities.
How do I find the right therapist for me in Winnipeg?
Start by clarifying what you want to work on, whether it's anxiety, depression, or trauma recovery. Look for a therapist in Winnipeg who specializes in that area and whose approach to therapy matches your needs. Consider practical factors like availability, session format (in-person or online), and cost.
On First Session, you can browse therapist profiles, watch introductory videos, and book a free 15-minute consultation to get a sense of their style. This helps you decide if they’re the right fit before committing to ongoing sessions.
What types of therapy are available in Winnipeg?
Winnipeg therapists offer a wide range of evidence-based approaches, including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), somatic therapy, couples counselling, and trauma-focused therapies. The right approach depends on your needs and goals, which you can discuss during your free initial consultation.
