1. Balanced Mind and Wellness Inc.
Balanced Mind and Wellness offers a mix of services—from psychotherapy and psychological counseling to naturopathic treatments and acupuncture.
It’s founded by Carly, a Registered Psychotherapist, who favors an integrative and collaborative approach to bring about real, practical change.
Her clinic specializes in anxiety counselling. If you feel stuck in a loop of stress and worry, they’ll help you reframe your thoughts and reactions to everyday situations.
Relationship counselling is another specialty, covering everything from communication breakdowns to deeper emotional struggles. They focus on digging for the ”why” behind the conflicts you’re facing.
Other areas of expertise are grief, depression, and eating disorder issues.
We love that they offer a budget-friendly therapy option with a master’s level counselling intern, who works under the supervision of the clinic’s director.
Keep in mind, however, that appointments are required, meaning no walk-ins or emergency sessions.
Carly is extremely friendly, warm, and genuine
“I have been going to Balanced Mind and Wellness for 4 years and have always had such a wonderful experience. Carly is extremely friendly, warm, and genuine. I would highly recommend her!”

2. The Wise Self Psychotherapy Clinic
The Wise Self Psychotherapy Clinic’s mission is to help you heal emotional wounds and feel good about life again. It’s owned by Milly Feliz, who specializes in anxiety, depression, OCD, ADHD, trauma, and she’s also bilingual (English and Spanish).
Adult therapy is her clinic’s expertise—perfect for those who are feeling overwhelmed by adulting challenges. Other popular offerings are couples, family, and teen therapy.
A highlight we discovered is their low-cost therapy option. They partner with highly qualified Yorkville University students, working toward their degrees, to offer affordable sessions under the clinical supervision of a Registered Psychotherapist.
Plus, unlike other clinics, they offer evening and weekend appointments.
Not sure which therapy would help you the most? Book a free 15-minute virtual consultation. Note that since this is virtual, it might not give you the same personal connection as an in-person meeting.
Great place to start your healing journey
“So so so happy to have found The Wise Self! Psychotherapy has changed my life for the better and I am so thankful, specially to Milly, my dear therapist. Therapy can really benefit anyone so, if you need help, The Wise Self is a great place to start your healing journey.”

3. Therapy Villa Psychology Services
Therapy Villa Psychology Services has a goal: to help you become the best you. It’s founded by Niyati Gandhi, a clinical psychologist who speaks English, Hindi, Gujarati, and Urdu.
If you’re looking to heal unresolved emotional wounds, we recommend their trauma therapy. The clinic will help process your trauma and manage emotional responses.
They also focus on depression therapy, helping give you the tools to break free from isolation, so that you can reconnect with the world.
In addition to therapy, psychological assessments are offered as well.
If you want to get a feel for them first, book a free 20-minute video or phone consultation. This is a low-pressure, no-commitment way for you to discuss your needs and find the right therapist.
A downside is that Niyati is only available during daytime hours. This is tricky if you want her as your therapist, but you’re available only on weekends or evenings.
Creates a safe space for emotionality and introspection
“I have nothing but positive things to say about Niyati and Therapy Villa. Niyati shows compassion and heartfelt listening balanced with neutrality and a unique external perspective. She creates a safe space for emotionality and introspection, supported by grounding and de-escalation techniques. The office itself is comfortable and welcoming. Every aspect of Therapy Villa has made the process feel well-guided and organic.”

Very caring and compassionate listener
“Niyati Gandhi is a wonderful psychologist, she is a very caring and compassionate listener. She has great intuition and guides the conversation very well. It isn’t easy to find a good therapist, I highly recommend working with her.”

4. Counselling 2 Wellness
Founded by Hannah Esmaili, a psychotherapist and social worker, Counselling 2 Wellness believes in taking a holistic approach to mental health.
Begin with a free 20-minute phone call with their intake coordinator, who will understand your needs and match you with the best therapist.
Now, if you’re healing from a chaotic childhood, we think their Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) might be for you. This evidence-based approach can help you overcome childhood trauma and craft healthier coping mechanisms.
And for those struggling with anger or irritability, they offer tailored strategies to help you manage those intense feelings and improve relationships.
A unique highlight is their child therapy, which they conduct using therapeutic play. It’s a gentle and effective method to help children express their emotions and improve their communication skills.
But a potential downside is that they don’t offer low-cost therapy options—a barrier if you’re on a tight budget.
Very professional, safe, and compassionate space
“Hannah and her team provide a very professional, safe, and compassionate space. Having worked with Hannah for almost 2 years (as a client), I cannot imagine a more competent and superb experience thus far. I highly recommend this team to anyone looking for mental guidance and relief.”
Dominique Aguilar, Google Review
Patient, compassionate, thoughtful, and has a warm spirit
“Hannah is one of a kind. She’s patient, compassionate, thoughtful and has such a warm spirit. Time always goes by sooo quickly when I’m talking to her. I’m such a fan of the new space! It’s always sanitized, bright, open and inviting. The indoor slippers, face shields and plexi help make the space feel safe given the current unprecedented times.”

5. VMA Psych
VMA Psych was founded by Dr. Vincent Murphy, who has been supporting clients in the GTA for over 40 years.
One specialty? Family counselling—they focus on providing a safe space for families to communicate and foster mutual understanding in order to forge solutions together.
Another is ADHD coaching, where your therapist will help you develop practical skills needed for daily life such as time management, organization, and overall productivity.
A unique offering we haven’t seen much elsewhere is their art therapy. It’s a creative and expressive approach that helps patients heal from trauma, process anxiety, and rediscover their inner voice.
Now, if you love giving back, then you’ll appreciate their philanthropic efforts such as their partnership with One Tree Planted. So far, they’ve helped plant 1,000 trees worldwide!
Unfortunately, their sessions can be a bit pricey compared to other clinics.
Truly the best therapy and care
“Truly the best therapy and care. I have never felt more supported and encouraged emotionally in a difficult time. Thank you to all the staff at VMA Psych for their attentive care.”
