FAQs
What can psychotherapy help with?
1
Psychotherapy can provide support with anxiety, stress, self-esteem, relationship concerns, life transitions, perfectionism, emotional difficulties, and other personal challenges. At Morning Breeze Psychotherapy, we offer a compassionate, collaborative space where you can better understand yourself, develop practical coping strategies, and work toward meaningful change.
Does private insurance cover psychotherapy?
2
Psychotherapy may be covered by many private or extended health insurance plans, depending on your individual policy and coverage. Morning Breeze Psychotherapy will provide you with a receipt for each eligible session that you can submit to your private insurance company for reimbursement.
We recommend contacting your insurance provider before beginning therapy to confirm whether psychotherapy is covered, the amount of your coverage, and whether your plan requires services from a specific regulated professional.

Do you offer online therapy in Ontario?
Yes. We offer online therapy throughout Ontario, Canada, providing a convenient and confidential way to access psychotherapy from the comfort of your own home. Online therapy can be particularly helpful if you have a busy schedule, prefer not to travel, or feel more comfortable attending sessions virtually.
Yes. As a Persian therapist in Ontario, I understand that cultural background, family values, immigration experiences, relationships, and cultural expectations can play an important role in mental health and personal well-being. I offer psychotherapy in Farsi and English, creating a culturally responsive space where Persian clients can feel understood without having to explain every aspect of their cultural experience.

Do you offer sliding-scale therapy?
5
We believe financial circumstances should not always be a barrier to accessing therapy. Sliding-scale therapy spots may be available based on financial circumstances. Because only a small number of reduced-fee spaces are available, they are offered on a limited basis and are subject to availability.
If cost is a concern, please feel welcome to ask about current availability during your consultation. A free 20-minute consultation is also available to help determine whether our services are a good fit for your needs before beginning therapy.
Is psychotherapy covered by OHIP?
6
For most individuals, psychotherapy provided through a private practice is not currently covered by OHIP. However, you may be eligible for reimbursement through a private or employer-sponsored extended health benefits plan.
Coverage can vary significantly between insurance providers and plans, so we recommend checking directly with your insurance company to understand your benefits.
What happens during the first therapy session?
7
Your first session is an opportunity to discuss what brings you to therapy, your current concerns, relevant background information, and your goals. We will also begin discussing what you would like to work on together and how therapy can be tailored to you.
You do not need to have everything figured out before your first session.
