Frequently Asked Questions
How do online sessions work?
Online sessions are held via a secure, PIPEDA-compliant video platform. You'll receive a link before our appointment, and we'll meet in a private digital space where you can share openly from the comfort of your own home.
Who does Trish work with?
I work with adults individually and with couples across Ontario. People come for many different reasons, from anxiety and depression to relationship challenges, life transitions, stress, and trauma.
What issues do you support?
HELPPS provides support for a range of concerns, including anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, stress, life transitions, and trauma. We work together to navigate these experiences with compassion.
How often do people usually meet?
Most clients find it helpful to start with weekly or bi-weekly sessions to get to the heart of the issue. As you feel more stable and integrated, we may shift to meeting less frequently based on your goals.
What can I expect in the first session?
The first session is a gentle introduction. We’ll discuss what brings you to therapy, explore your history, and begin to identify your hopes for our work together. It’s a time for us to start building a connection.
How do I know if therapy is a good fit?
Therapy is a relationship, so feeling comfortable matters. During our first session, you'll get a sense of how I work, and together we can decide whether it feels like a good fit. If it doesn't, that's okay too.
Can couples meet online?
Yes, couples therapy is highly effective online. Partners can join from the same location or separate ones, provided everyone is in Ontario at the time of the session.
What if I've never done therapy before?
Many of our clients are new to therapy. We start exactly where you are, moving at a pace that feels safe for you. There is no 'right' way to be in therapy—your authentic self is all that's required. There isn't a right way to do therapy. We'll simply start where you are.

Insurance & Coverage
Psychotherapy is an important investment in your wellbeing. In Ontario, many extended health benefit plans provide coverage for services delivered by a Registered Psychotherapist (RP). We recommend checking with your insurance provider to confirm that your specific plan includes RP coverage. While we do not offer direct billing, HELPPS provides detailed receipts after every session, which you can submit to your insurer for reimbursement.
Receipts are provided after every session for reimbursement through your extended health benefits.
