Why Beaches?
Finding a therapist shouldn’t become one more thing on your list.
You have enough tabs open already—literally and otherwise. Getting support shouldn’t require hours of comparing credentials, approaches, schedules, and therapist profiles.
Tell us what you’re looking for. Our Care Team will help with the rest
Close By. Or Online.
Come see us on Mount Pleasant Road, or meet virtually when adding another trip to your day feels like the opposite of helpful.
A Thoughtful Match
A therapist can have all the right credentials and still not feel right for you. We consider your goals, needs, preferences, and personality when helping you find a match. If it isn’t right, we’ll help you rematch.
Thoughtful, Evidence-Based Care
Our clinicians draw from approaches including CBT, DBT, ACT, EMDR, and more, adapting the work to the person rather than asking the person to fit the approach.
Help With the Practical Stuff
Where your insurance provider allows it, we offer direct billing. Our Care Team can help make the logistics of starting therapy feel a little less logistical.
How Can We Help?
Whatever brought you here, we can start there.
You might have a name for what’s going on. Or you might just know that lately you’re shorter with people, sleeping badly, thinking too much, feeling disconnected, or wondering why a life that looks pretty good doesn’t feel quite like yours.
You don’t need the perfect words before you come in.
Our Midtown clinicians support individuals, couples, children, teens, and families in person and online.
Anxiety Therapy
When your mind has already rehearsed tomorrow’s conversation six times and somehow moved on to worrying about next Thursday. Therapy can help you understand what’s driving the anxiety and find different ways to work with it.
Depression Support
Maybe everything feels heavier. Maybe the things you usually care about barely register. Or you’re getting through the day, but it feels like that’s all you’re doing. Therapy gives you somewhere to begin making sense of it.
Couples & Relationship Therapy
When every conversation somehow becomes the same conversation. When you’re great at managing the calendar but not so great at finding each other in the middle of it. Couples therapy creates space to understand what’s happening between you and find a different way forward together.
Trauma & PTSD (EMDR)
Some experiences don’t stay neatly in the past. Our trauma-focused care, including EMDR with trained therapists, gives you space to process what happened at a pace that works for you.
Grief & Loss
There’s no tidy timeline for missing someone or adjusting to a life that looks different from the one you expected. You don’t need to make your grief more understandable before bringing it here.
Self-Esteem & Identity
For the voice that always has one more criticism. The version of yourself you think you’re supposed to be. Or the quiet question of who you are now that something in your life has changed.
ADHD & Neurodivergent Support
Support built around understanding how your brain works, rather than trying to force it into someone else’s operating manual. We offer ADHD and neurodivergent support for kids and adults.
Child & Teen Therapy
School pressure. Friendships. Family. Identity. Big feelings at deeply inconvenient times. Our therapists give children and teens a space to talk about the hard parts of growing up.
Family Therapy
Sometimes what one person is going through changes the rhythm of the whole family. Family therapy creates room to understand what’s happening together and find healthier ways of relating.
Anger Management
For the moments when the reaction happens before you’ve had time to decide how you actually want to respond. Therapy can help you understand your anger and build other ways of handling what sits underneath it.
Separation & Divorce
There are the logistics of separation. And then there’s everything that doesn’t fit neatly into a spreadsheet: grief, anger, parenting, identity, uncertainty, relief, guilt, and figuring out what life looks like from here.
Not Sure Where to Start?
You don’t have to diagnose the problem before you call us.
Tell our Care Team what’s been happening, what you’re hoping might change, and anything that matters to you in choosing a therapist. We’ll help you make sense of your options and find a clinician who fits.
The Midtown Location
One appointment where you don’t have to be “on.”
There’s a particular kind of week where every square on the calendar is full and somehow you’re still wondering what you forgot.
Our Mount Pleasant clinic gives you somewhere to step out of that pace for a while.
Come from work, between errands, after school pickup, or simply because having a dedicated space away from home makes it easier to focus on yourself. Inside, it’s quiet, private, and set apart from the busy stretch outside.
And on weeks when another trip across Toronto is absolutely not happening? Meet with your therapist virtually.
Location Details:
- About two blocks north of Davisville Station (Line 1).
- Evening and weekend appointments available alongside daytime hours.

Getting Started
Getting started, without making it a whole thing.

Our Care Team recommends a therapist based on your goals, needs, personality, and preferences. If the fit isn’t right, we’ll help you find someone else.
3
Find Your Way Forward
You and your therapist decide together what you want to work on and what that work could look like. The plan belongs to you, too.

Privacy Is Part of the Care
What you share is confidential and handled in accordance with Ontario’s Personal Health Information Protection Act.

FAQs
Questions About Therapy In Midtown Toronto
How do I know which therapist is right for me?
You don’t need to become an expert on every therapist before choosing one.
Our Care Team starts by getting to know what you need, what you’re hoping for, and what matters to you in a therapist. We’ll use that information to recommend a match.
If you meet and something feels off, tell us. We’ll help you rematch.
Do you take insurance? Are you covered by OHIP?
Many extended health plans cover psychotherapy, depending on the provider and your individual plan. Where your provider permits it, we offer direct billing.
Beaches Therapy Group is a private practice and is not covered by OHIP. We also offer a reduced-rate intern therapy program.
Our Rates and Insurance page has more information, or our Care Team can help you understand your options.
What’s the difference between an RP, RSW, and Psychologist?
They’re different regulated professions with different education and training pathways.
Our team includes Registered Psychotherapists, Registered Social Workers, and Psychologists. Depending on what you need and what your insurance plan covers one designation may make more sense than another. Our Care Team can help you sort that out.
How long are sessions?
Most individual sessions are about 50 minutes, with couples and family sessions sometimes running longer.
The first session gives you and your therapist time to talk about what brought you in, your history, and what you’d like from therapy. No homework beforehand. No perfect answer to “So, what brings you here?” required.
Should I choose virtual or in-person therapy?
Choose what makes sense for you.
Some people value having a dedicated physical space for therapy. Others know they’re far more likely to make the appointment when it doesn’t require commuting. And sometimes the answer changes from one week to the next.
We offer in-person care in Midtown and virtual therapy across Ontario.

Ready When You Are
There may never be a perfectly convenient time to start.
There will probably still be emails. Someone will still need something. Dinner will continue happening every single night for reasons nobody can explain.
You’re allowed to make room for this anyway.
