Mental Health Treatment Areas offered at The Well
Stress, Anxiety, Depression
Stress, anxiety, and depression can have a significant impact on your life. These conditions can exist individually or coexist with one another. Although they can be overwhelming, a dependable therapist can provide valuable assistance.
Stress is a natural human reaction triggered by changes or perceived threats in our environment. It has the potential to take a toll on both physical and emotional well-being, causing a person to feel tense and uneasy. Stress often comes up in response to external factors, such as work.
Anxiety, on the other hand, encompasses symptoms like excessive worry, fear, and nervousness. It can manifest temporarily or as a persistent, ongoing condition that often disrupts an individual’s quality of life. Anxiety can also present itself as an anxiety disorder such as generalized anxiety disorder and panic disorder.
Lastly, depression is a mood disorder characterized by ongoing feelings of sadness and a lowered interest in everyday activities. It is considered clinical when the emotions persist for two or more weeks.
Grief, Loss, Trauma & PTSD
Grief, loss, trauma, and PTSD can all be worked through with the support of a therapist. Grief and loss are often experienced after the loss of a loved one.
People may experience a wide range of emotions when dealing with grief such as intense sadness, frustration, disbelief, and confusion. Although loss is part of life, it can be difficult to go through alone. A therapist can provide considerable help during these times. Trauma, on the other hand, is a response to a particularly upsetting and distressing event. The person may feel different emotional and/or psychological responses as a reaction to this happening. In some cases, going through a traumatic experience can also lead to the development of a mental health condition called post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). This can cause unpleasant symptoms such as mood challenges, unwanted thoughts, and sleep disturbances.
Relationships & Family Conflict
If you are dealing with issues in your relationship or family dynamics, a therapist can help you. It can be difficult to go through challenges with someone close to you in your life, but therapy offers you a safe space to explore those feelings with a trusted professional.
A variety of different struggles may arise in a relationship such as infidelity, trust issues, conflict, sexual problems, marriage issues, jealousy, and others. In family units, common problems can include illness, financial stress, jealousy, and more. No matter what type of issue you are facing in your relationship or family dynamics, a mental health professional can play a valuable role. They can provide professional insight into the best way to navigate these challenges and begin healing. We have both family and couples counselling at HealthOne to help you.
LGBTQ+ & Sexuality
At HealthOne, we offer therapy for individuals in the LGBTQ+ community. It’s important to have a therapist who offers this specific type of support.
Our professionals can help with issues around self-identity, sexual orientation, gender expression, sexual health, and much more. We will provide a completely safe and inclusive space for you to discuss your challenges or concerns. Because we have worked extensively with individuals in the LGBTQ+ community, our mental health professionals have a deep understanding of the specific obstacles you may be facing. Additional topics you can explore during this time include anxiety, depression, stress, substance use, trauma, emotional issues, or anything else you might be going through.
Substance Abuse & Addictions
It can be very difficult to struggle with substance abuse as it can affect not only your life, but the lives of those around you. There are many substances such as alcohol, marijuana, nicotine, and prescription drugs that people can become addicted to.
By meeting with a therapist, you can begin to address these issues and discuss your feelings surrounding your use of the substance. A therapist can also support you if you have an addiction to something other than a substance such as gambling, alcohol, or gaming. Because these addictions can interfere heavily with other areas of life, having a therapist can be a very useful resource. Receiving mental health support is one of the first and best steps you can take towards a healthier and happier life.
Life Skills and Transitions
Seeing a therapist can be a great way to work on yourself personally. They can help you develop valuable life skills that equip you with the ability to navigate life’s challenges with more ease.
Examples of the areas that a therapist can support you include critical thinking skills, problem solving, communication, and decision making. They can also help you learn strategies and tools to deal with life’s challenges and troubling emotions that can arise. Another area therapists can support is life transitions. Whether you are changing jobs, dealing with a relationship ending, or recently loss an important person in your life, a therapist can help you navigate this change and cope with your emotions in a healthy way. They will provide a safe, comfortable space where you can build your confidence and self-worth.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can therapy really help?
Therapy can help many people understand patterns, develop coping skills and work toward personal or mental-health goals. Results vary and often develop over time, so discuss your goals and progress openly with your therapist.
Why should someone consider therapy?
You do not need to be in crisis to consider therapy. People seek support for anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, relationships, stress, life transitions and personal development.
What is online therapy?
Online therapy takes place by secure video or telephone instead of in the clinic. Before booking, confirm that virtual care is appropriate for your needs and that you will have a private location and reliable connection.
Is therapy confidential?
Therapy is confidential, and personal health information is handled under applicable Ontario privacy and professional requirements. Information may be disclosed with consent or where permitted or required by law, including specified reporting duties or a significant risk of serious harm.
How many therapy sessions will I need?
The number of sessions depends on your goals, concerns, therapeutic approach and progress. Your therapist can discuss an initial plan with you and revisit the frequency and duration as therapy develops.
How much does therapy at HealthOne cost?
Fees depend on the practitioner, appointment type and session length. Contact HealthOne or review the current booking portal for the applicable fee before booking; extended-health reimbursement depends on your plan and the practitioner’s professional designation.
Is therapy covered by OHIP or private insurance?
Private psychotherapy and social-work sessions are generally not covered by OHIP. Many extended-health plans reimburse eligible services, but coverage depends on the practitioner’s designation, annual limit and plan requirements.
What is the complimentary therapist meet-and-greet?
The meet-and-greet is a brief opportunity to learn about a therapist’s approach, ask questions and decide whether the relationship may be a good fit. It is not a full assessment or therapy session.
Do I need a referral to book therapy?
A physician’s referral is generally not required to book private therapy. Your insurance plan may require a referral or cover only certain regulated practitioners, so verify your benefits first.
What should I do if I am in a mental-health crisis?
HealthOne’s routine therapy service is not an emergency or crisis service. If you or someone else is in immediate danger, call 911 or go to the nearest emergency department; in Canada, call or text 988 for suicide-crisis support.
