Affordable Therapy Services with a Supervised Intern Therapist
Starting therapy can feel like a big step, and we understand that finding the right support—at the right price—can be challenging. That’s why we offer therapy sessions with a mental health intern therapist, providing compassionate, professional care under the supervision of an experienced Registered Psychologist (RPsych). If you’re looking for high-quality support at a more affordable rate, working with an intern could be a great option.
What Is an Intern Therapist? An intern therapist is a graduate-level student completing the final stages of their clinical training. They have spent years studying psychology and mental health and are now gaining hands-on experience under the close supervision of a Registered Psychologist. This means that every session is guided not just by the intern’s knowledge and dedication, but also by the expertise of a fully licensed psychologist.

Lower Cost, Same Dedication – Intern therapist sessions are available at no cost, or on a pay what you can basis, making high-quality therapy more accessible.
