Individual Therapy for Canadians, Without the Six-Week Wait.

Yes, therapy is highly effective for relationship issues or for navigating the lack of relationships or desire to build more meaningful relationships. Our couples therapy helps partners improve communication, resolve conflicts, rebuild trust, navigate life transitions, and strengthen their connection. Family therapy addresses parent-child conflicts, sibling issues, blended family challenges, and communication breakdowns. Even individual therapy can significantly improve relationships by helping you understand patterns, set boundaries, communicate effectively, and address personal issues affecting your relationships. Our relationship issues groups, focus on navigating the challenges in relationships, specific relationships you’d like to personally focus on, or navigating the lack of relationships and the desire to strengthen certain relationships. We also provide couples groups where couples can work in a therapist-led group setting with other couples to navigate couples dynamics together. Many clients find that relationship issues improve relatively quickly once they learn and practice new communication skills with therapeutic support.

If you need more support than weekly therapy provides, Grouport provides the flexibility to combine care at any frequency that you’d like on the schedule and duration that works for your needs. So, for example many people combine individual therapy with group therapy at various levels of frequencies, or they combine couples therapy with individual therapy, or family therapy with individual therapy etc… It’s normal to combine therapy options or increase session frequency during difficult periods. For higher levels of support, Grouport also offers a virtual Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) with 10 sessions per week which consists of nine group therapy sessions plus one-three individual therapy sessions per week depending on which IOP plan you choose. We're committed to matching you with the right level of care that fits your needs.

Absolutely, many people see multiple therapists at the same time to work on different challenges, or they combine group therapy with individual therapy due to its complimentary benefits, or if they need more intensive and a higher frequency of care. So, it's totally up to you and it's common to see multiple therapists or do multiple therapy sessions at once. We're happy to discuss your specific situation to determine what makes sense for your care.

Absolutely, it’s common that people are partaking in multiple therapy individual sessions at once. This can be if they want to work on different things as different individual sessions can focus on different areas, or they want to have extra focus on important relevant skills, or they want to benefit from different therapist approaches, or they need more intensive care. It’s common that people are doing 2-4 individual sessions per week and if they need something more intensive, our IOP can be helpful since it includes 9 individual sessions per week. It’s totally based on what feels right for you, so trust your gut. You can always increase the amount of individual sessions you’re doing or decrease at any time.

The group itself becomes practice for connection, communication, conflict resolution, boundaries, and vulnerability. Some people join individual therapy specifically for the social skills component. You're learning through doing and practicing in real time. The skills learned in group transfer to outside relationships and help you form healthier friendships beyond therapy. Many people think of group sessions as a practice for relationship skills they can apply elsewhere.

Bringing outside experiences into individual therapy is central to therapy. Whatever's happening in your life is material for group. However, dominating every session with outside content without engaging within the confines of group process limits benefits so it’s important to balance between bringing outside issues, listening to others in the group, and participating in group's here and now interactions. The therapist facilitates using outside examples productively, focusing on relevant skills that require time to go over, while maintaining group cohesion. Your life outside group is always relevant material and you should certainly incorporate things that happen in your life into group as that is why you are there.

Grouport's online individual therapy is already one of the most affordable therapy options out there at $25 - $35 per session ($448/month), depending on the group you’re in. That's significantly cheaper than almost any other type of therapy out there. Maybe you can use receipts to get out of network insurance reimbursement, or use HSA/FSA funds. When paying quarterly or biannually, you also do receive discounts. While we try to make our services as affordable as possible, we understand that cost is a reality that people face and everyone's financial situation is different. Sometimes taking a planned break with the intention to return when finances improve helps. The goal is supporting your treatment access with what is financially viable for you.

Grief happens to everyone. Loss of loved ones. Loss of relationships. Loss of opportunities. Cultural rituals around grief vary, but the pain is universal. Therapy provides space to mourn and process grief in ways that fit your cultural background and beliefs.

Trauma from abuse, assault, violence, accidents, natural disasters, war, or other experiences affects people globally. Trauma therapy addresses PTSD symptoms, helps you process traumatic memories, and supports healing. Trauma is trauma regardless of where it happened or what cultural context you're in.

Our mission is to make quality therapy affordable and accessible. Grouport’s rates are significantly lower than the U.S. average, with costs that average out over time because some months have 4 sessions, while others have 5 sessions at no extra cost—thanks to the fact that months have an average of 4.33 weeks.

Pay quarterly (save 10%) or biannually (save 15%) for even lower rates

Yes. Grouport pairs Canadians with a licensed clinician (psychologist, LCSW, LMHC, LMFT, LPC, PsyD, or PhD) for weekly one-on-one video sessions of 45 to 50 minutes focused on anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, and related concerns. Instead of waiting 6 weeks or longer for publicly funded psychotherapy in provinces like Ontario or BC, you complete a brief intake, match with a therapist, and start right away. Sessions are $103 each or $448 per month, delivered over HIPAA-compliant video in English.

Grouport removes the travel entirely. Roughly 18 percent of Canadians live in rural or remote areas where in-person providers are scarce, and many others would face a drive to a provincial capital. With Grouport, you meet your licensed clinician over HIPAA-compliant video from home, on your own schedule across any of Canada's six time zones from Newfoundland to Pacific. Weekly 45 to 50 minute sessions are $103, or choose every-other-week at $52 per session ($224 per month). Match with a therapist and begin right away.
