About Reduced-Barrier Sessions

Our reduced-barrier sessions are designed to create more inclusive and accessible mental health opportunities for individuals that are part of BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, and People of Colour) communities. Our goal is to provide online and in-person therapy services that cater to a wider range of needs. This includes up to 12 sessions that are subsidized by TCC, to ensure quality care to help you on your therapeutic journey.

    Please note that at this time, this program is for individuals and is not applicable for couple and family sessions.

    • Alberta

    That said, spots will open up on an ongoing basis and we will update the website accordingly.

  • Based upon the agreement between you and the therapist, there will be between 8-12 sessions.

  • At this time, we will be prioritizing applicants that do not have access to insurance to increase the accessibility of services.

  • After your sessions have closed, there are a few options:

    1) We can transition you to therapy sessions at a reduced-rate.
