Frequently Asked Questions

I’m Sam, a psychotherapist currently interning at the Canadian Counselling Center. I provide compassionate, client-centered therapy under the supervision of experienced registered psychotherapists and clinical supervisors at the center.

As an intern, I’m completing advanced training toward full registration as a psychotherapist. All my sessions are supervised to ensure high-quality, ethical care. This allows me to offer skilled support while gaining experience in a professional setting.

Yes—many clients find intern therapy highly effective. You receive dedicated, empathetic attention in a structured environment with close oversight. Research and client feedback often show strong outcomes with supervised interns, especially in supportive modalities like those used at the center (e.g., CBT, DBT, mindfulness-informed approaches).

Intern sessions are typically more affordable (often part of the center’s low-cost or sliding-scale options). The Canadian Counselling Center prioritizes accessible care, including reduced rates for interns/practicum placements. Exact fees depend on your situation—contact the center or check during booking for details

All sessions are online (video), Canada-wide, with flexible scheduling including evenings/weekends. We’ll meet virtually from the comfort and privacy of your home. The pace is yours—we explore your concerns collaboratively, drawing on your strengths to address anxiety, depression, grief, relationships, stress, trauma, or whatever brings you in.

Yes—strict confidentiality applies, just as with any registered therapist. Limits (e.g., safety concerns) are discussed upfront and follow standard professional guidelines. The center follows privacy laws and best practices.

The Canadian Counselling Center is a professional online therapy provider with registered therapists, direct insurance billing options, and supervised training placements. All interns work under qualified supervision. You can verify details on the center’s website (www.canadiancounsellingcenter.ca) or reach the admin at +1 437 234 7989 or info@canadiancounsellingcenter.ca.

Book directly through the center’s online system (via Jane App on their site) or contact them to request me specifically. Mention that you’re interested in an intern session for affordability/accessibility.

It’s completely okay to start with a free session. Many people begin unsure and quickly find clarity. Reach out—no pressure, just support.
