& life stages

Whole-person care, not just quick fixes.
We look at your mind, body, relationships, and life story.
Life can suck.
You don’t need a fancy explanation for how you’re feeling. You feel like garbage.
Everything is falling apart. You’re stressed, worn down, questioning yourself, and wondering how the hell you’re supposed to keep going. Even basic things feel impossible, you’re honestly just over it.
At Rhapsody Psychotherapy & Counselling in Peterborough, we get it. We’re not here to give you cookie-cutter advice or pretend things are fine. We’re here to sit with you in the hard stuff, to listen, and to help you start making sense of it.
The stuff you don’t say out loud anywhere else. Because that’s where the real work happens.

Why “Rhapsody”?
A rhapsody is “an effusively enthusiastic or ecstatic expression of feeling.”
For us, it means every part of your story belongs here: the heavy, the joyful, the messy, and the real. Rhapsody isn’t just our name, it’s our promise to honour the full range of your inner experience, in all its beauty and complexity. We believe therapy should be within reach.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are your fees?
Our standard rate for individual therapy is $150–160 per session (good news—we’re HST exempt now). Rates depend on your therapist’s experience. We get that life happens and sometimes therapy can feel like a stretch, so we do offer a sliding scale (down to $130/session) based on need. Just ask!
We also regularly have Intern Associates available. They’re a great option for folks facing financial constraints and are closely supervised by senior therapists and clinical supervisors collaborating for your care. Want to know if that’s a fit for you? Click here to meet our team or contact us to ask about our current interns.
Do you accept insurance or do you offer direct billing?
Short answer: Yes, sometimes.
Longer answer: It depends on your insurance provider. If your plan covers Registered Psychotherapists (that’s us), and they allow direct billing, then we’re good to go. Best bet? Reach out. We’ll give you the info you need to check with your insurer and confirm what’s covered.
What is your cancellation policy?
Life happens, we get it. That said, we do ask for 48 hours notice if you need to cancel or reschedule your in-person or virtual appointment. You can contact your therapist directly or call us.
Cancellations with less than 48 hours notice will be charged the full session fee. If something big comes up, talk to us. We’re human and open to reviewing things case-by-case.
How do I know which therapist is for me?
The choice of which therapist to work with is a very personal one, and there is no right answer or one-size-fits-all answer. It really comes down to the vibe. You need to feel safe, seen, and like you can actually talk to the person across from you. That’s why we offer free 30-minute consults, and we encourage you to meet more than one therapist if you’re unsure.
This way, you can feel out what works best for you before committing. No pressure. No awkwardness. Just an opportunity to understand “the vibe,” which is the first step to having a great therapy experience!
How long will I need therapy?
This is very personal to each person seeking support and help. There are a lot of factors to consider, but broadly speaking, what we’ve noticed is that most clients start with weekly sessions in Peterborough or online across Ontario, and within 6–12 weeks, many shift to bi-weekly. Down the road, some go monthly or pop in for “therapy tune-ups,” where they have a session every 4 weeks to 3 months.
We’ll check in regularly and adjust based on what’s working for you. You’re always in the driver’s seat.
