Right here on Lake Shore
Therapy close to home
Being close matters. When therapy is a short walk from home, it is easier to keep showing up on the hard weeks, and you arrive without a long commute still sitting on your shoulders. Our clinic is at 3515 Lake Shore Blvd W, near Long Branch Avenue, on the same stretch of Lake Shore you may already walk on the way to the lake.
A calm room in the middle of the neighbourhood
Inside, the clinic is designed to help you settle: natural wood, soft light, thoughtfully designed furniture and a hot drink waiting. It is a brick-and-mortar space, so you meet your therapist face to face in a room set aside for this work, not on a laptop at the kitchen table.
Choose your therapist
We reply to new inquiries within 24 hours with therapists who may fit your needs, your schedule and your language. Book a free 15-minute phone consult with one or more of them and choose the person who feels right. Our 16 therapists work in English, Cantonese, Mandarin, Hindi, Urdu, Punjabi, Spanish and Polish, and see adults, teens, couples and families, with select therapists seeing children from age 3.
Who we are, and what to know
Thought & Feeling is woman-owned and POC-owned, and our team is 2SLGBTQIA+ affirming. Our clinic is not wheelchair accessible: the doors are narrow and the washroom is on the lower level. If that is a barrier for you or someone in your family, video and phone sessions are available.

Your receipt includes everything insurers need, including your therapist's designation and registration number, and many extended health plans cover Registered Psychotherapists and Registered Social Workers.
Please note: Always check directly with your insurance provider to confirm your coverage. We share general information to help you plan, but your plan decides what is covered.
