Cost is the number one reason people in Ottawa put off therapy. So we are building a fair-fee program around what people can actually pay, and we would love your input before we set the rates. It takes one tap.
Imagine seeing a therapist about twice a month, for roughly 10 sessions. There are no wrong answers, we are genuinely listening.
Standard private therapy in Ontario is often $175 to $225. We are trying to do better.
Anonymous. No email needed to share your input.
If you would like, leave your email and we will try to match you with a registered therapist whose fee fits your range. No commitment, and you can say no on the call.
We usually reach out within an hour during business hours (8am to 8pm) with a therapist whose rate fits the range you picked.
Most people never ask about price. They see one number on a website, decide therapy is a luxury, and quietly carry on. We would rather you ask. Sliding scale is more common in this field than people realise, ours included, and it is always worth checking before you assume.
Whatever number you can manage, let us start there and see what is possible.
"I had no idea I could just ask what I was able to pay. That one question is the reason I am in therapy now."
You never have to negotiate or explain yourself. You tell us what fits, and we do the matching quietly on our end.
Pick the most you would want to pay per session. That is your starting point, and it stays private.
We check which registered therapists and sliding-scale spots match your range and what you are looking for.
You meet a therapist with no cost and no pressure, to see if it feels right before anything is booked.
If it is a fit, you begin at the agreed fee. If it is not, that is completely okay. No hard feelings, no bill.
Not a one-time coupon. A set of real reduced-fee and sliding-scale spots built into how the practice runs.
Every therapist is registered with the CRPO or OCSWSSW. Lower fee does not mean lower quality of care.
Where your plan allows it, we bill your insurer directly, so coverage can stretch your budget even further.
Visit our Centrepointe office or meet from home anywhere in Ontario, whichever is easier on your time and wallet.
We will never push more sessions than you need. Our aim is to help you feel better as soon as possible.
A real person reaches out, usually within the hour during business hours, to help you find the right fit.
Neither. It is a real, ongoing fair-fee program. Therapy that prices people out helps no one, so we are building reduced-fee and sliding-scale spots into the practice on purpose. Your input on this page is part of how we set those rates fairly.
It depends on availability and your situation, which is exactly why we ask what works for you first. Tell us your number and we will be honest about what we can match. If we cannot meet it today, we will tell you straight and point you to other options.
Yes. Every therapist at Auren Wellness is registered with the College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario (CRPO) or the Ontario College of Social Workers and Social Service Workers (OCSWSSW). A fair fee does not mean a less qualified therapist.
Where your plan allows it, we bill your insurer directly so you are not out of pocket up front. If you have any coverage at all, it is worth mentioning on the call, since it often makes therapy far more affordable than people expect.
Absolutely. Clients who pay the standard fee are part of what makes the reduced-fee spots possible. Whatever you can comfortably manage is the right number for you, and you are very welcome here.
Yes. Step one asks only for the amount you would pay, nothing else. We only learn who you are if you choose to leave your email in step two so we can match you. Either way, thank you for helping us build this.
Tell us your number. If you want, we will try to match you with a registered therapist at that rate. If not, your input still helps us build something that serves more people.
