    Affordable Individual Therapy
    Finding a therapist you trust is already a challenge – the cost shouldn’t be another one. At Empire Psychotherapy, we’re committed to making quality mental health care as accessible as possible for the Hamilton community.

    Our therapists are registered psychotherapists (RPs) and registered social workers (RSWs) – the two designations most commonly covered by extended health benefits in Ontario. We provide clear, detailed receipts after every session, and our admin team is happy to help you understand your coverage before you book.
