Am I eligible?

Hard Feelings supports a community of professional psychotherapists who work within our model of low-cost, limited-term psychotherapy. We do this to increase access to mental health supports for folks who face financial barriers to getting the support they need.

Low-cost psychotherapy through Hard Feelings is not for everyone. We are not a crisis service, and psychotherapy is not free, it is low-cost. It is also time limited, to a maximum of 20 sessions, with 3 boosters. Currently, psychotherapy is online and in-person at both 353 Church Street and 248 Ossington Avenue in Toronto.

If you have been a client through Hard Feelings previously, you can come back for 20 sessions with a new psychotherapist after 3 months have passed since your last session.

Those who are eligible for support through Hard Feelings:

  • Have less than $1500 in benefits to spend on psychotherapy for individuals (or less than $2200 for couples/family therapy)
  • Self-identify as economically vulnerable and/or facing financial barriers to accessing mental health supports
  • Are currently living in Ontario
  • Are 18 years of age or older
