You’ve done the work. You’re ready to go deeper.
Maybe you’ve been in therapy before. You understand your patterns. You can name what happened. And yet something remains — a tension in your body that won’t release, a response that fires before you can catch it, a sense that the real root has never quite been reached.
You’re not resistant to healing. You’re not too complex. Your brain simply hasn’t had the right conditions to complete what it started. That’s what we do here.

Questions
Frequently asked questions
What is EMDR therapy?
EMDR (eye movement desensitization and reprocessing) is a structured eight-phase therapy that helps the brain process distressing memories so they lose their intensity. We offer it individually, in groups, and as intensives.
What is an EMDR intensive?
An intensive condenses trauma processing into longer sessions: half-day, full-day, or multi-day. It suits people who want to work efficiently or who are travelling to us. Every intensive begins with a tiered intake to confirm the fit.
How much does therapy cost?
Fees range from $169.50 to $250 per 50-minute session, depending on the therapist and session type. Reduced-rate sessions with supervised interns range from $80 to $125. See our pricing page for details.
Do I have to describe everything that happened?
No. We set the pace together and make sure your nervous system is regulated. Some therapies such as Brainspotting and Flash Technique do not require detail.
Do you offer virtual therapy across Ontario?
Yes. Sessions run on JaneVideo, a secure, encrypted, Canada-based platform, with the same brain-based therapies we offer in person.
