Frequently Asked Questions

Embarking on the journey to better mental health can be both exciting and a bit daunting. We understand that you might have many questions and concerns. Here, we’ve gathered some common questions to help you feel more comfortable and informed as you take your first steps towards a healthier, happier you.

Are there therapists available who specialize in treating anxiety, depression, or specific issues?

Absolutely! All of our therapists are specialists with intensive training in anxiety, depression, and a wide range of other challenges. No matter what you’re facing, we’re here to help.

How soon can I book my first appointment, and are evening or weekend slots available?

We pride ourselves on getting our clients in to be seen as quickly as same week. Many of our clinicians offer evening and weekend sessions. Each therapist has their own schedule, and we’ll work with you to pair you with someone who can meet your availability.

What types of insurance do you accept, and how does billing work?

We don’t deal directly with insurance companies, but we’ll provide you with a receipt after each session that you can submit to your insurance provider. Depending on the clinician, the receipt may reflect services for psychology, psychotherapy, or naturopathy. To ensure a smooth process, please check with your insurance provider to confirm which type of receipt is covered and let us know when booking so we can match you with the right clinician.

Are virtual therapy sessions an option, and how do I arrange them?

Yes! We offer virtual therapy sessions through your choice of platforms, including Zoom, FaceTime, and phone calls. Just let us know your preferred option when booking, and we’ll set it up for you.

What languages do your therapists offer services in?

We’re pleased to provide services in English, French, Arabic, and Greek. If you have a preferred language, let us know so we can connect you with a therapist who speaks it.

Do you provide initial consultations to help me decide if therapy is right for me?

Yes, we do! We offer free phone consultations with our coordinators, who will take the time to understand your needs and match you with the best therapist for your situation.

What is your policy if I need to reschedule or miss an appointment?

We ask for at least 24 hours’ notice if you need to reschedule or cancel an appointment. You can reach us at 514-777-4530 to avoid cancellation fees.

Can I choose a specific therapist, and how can I ensure the best match?

Of course! We encourage you to contact us at 514-777-4530 to take advantage of our free consultation service. This allows us to learn more about your preferences and pair you with the therapist who’s the best fit for your needs.

How long does therapy typically last, and how many sessions might I need?

The length and number of sessions depends on your individual goals and challenges. Cognitive Behavioural therapy which is used to treat anxiety and depression is scientifically shown to be effective very quickly (10- 15 sessions). Your therapist will work with you to create a personalized plan during your initial sessions to ensure the best approach for your journey.

What if I feel that my therapist isn’t the right fit—can I switch to someone else?

Absolutely! If you feel your current therapist isn’t the right match, we’ll be happy to help you transition to someone else. Our team includes therapists with diverse styles and approaches, so we’re confident we can find someone who’s the perfect fit for you.

If you don’t find the answers you’re looking for, please don’t hesitate to reach out to us directly. We’re here to support you every step of the way.

Nicole M.

“The Montreal Center for Anxiety and Depression changed my life – I did not know that there was such a place where a team of top professionals could help me with the problems I was dealing with. From the moment I walked into their beautiful offices – I knew everything was going to be ok (finally).”

“
Tina D.

“I will never be able to thank you enough. You have changed my life and I just want you to know how grateful I am – for your caring, unwavering support, honesty and help.”

“
Nicky B.

“Dear Sandra - A wise person once told me that self-worth is estimated at a billion dollars. That person also told me never to sell one’s soul, to live every moment, to embrace change, to treat ourselves like we would a friend with love and respect and to have healthy boundaries. That person made me aware of all that and so much more. I am forever grateful that this person came into my life. You’re the best!”

“
Tanya T.

“… I just wanted to take a moment to express my most sincere gratitude to you. Your words and wisdom have tremendously helped me over the last couple of years. Like I have said before, I often, and possibly daily, hear your voice in my head, which has helped me in making better decisions for myself to live a better life. Thank you for helping me to appreciate myself, women (which has enormously helped me in making new friendships with women!) and my mother. Thank you for the hours you have kept me in your office and for your persistence and patience. Thank you for being there and caring. I do not think I can thank you enough.”

Michael G.

“Sandra – I just wanted to thank you for everything you did for me. I have found peace and contentment that I have never known before… I don’t think that I would have even started this path if it were not for you. And you opened my eyes to so much that I did not even see. I honestly feel you saved me and I will be eternally grateful to you for that.”
