Online Therapy In Ontario, Modern and Accessible Mental Health Care

At Integra Skills Counselling, all of our therapists offer Virtual Therapy Services. Our online system client management system is secure in the same way that other Ontario Health Care Services are (since mental health care is regulated – and is also a vital part of heath in general). Studies show that online counselling is just as effective as seeing a therapist face to face. In fact, there are extra benefits to online therapy.

If you are busy and don’t want to deal with parking, traffic jams, challenging weather or have limited access to therapists due to your location, Virtual therapy can be a great option. As video therapy has become mainstream in the last few years, more clients are taking advantage of this option.

With Integra Skills Counselling, you also always have a choice to have sessions in person or virtually.
