The help you need, without leaving home

Do you feel overwhelmed by your thoughts and emotions?

Do you feel like you lack confidence or don't know how to assert yourself?

Do you find relationships with others are complicated or stressful?

Do you have difficulty coping with a significant change in your life? (separation, illness, birth of a child, move to a new city, job loss...)?

Do you feel that your life is not aligned with your aspirations, but you don’t know how to change that... or where to start?

Is online therapy effective?

According to a study by the University of Alberta, published in 2020, online therapy is just as effective as in-person therapy.

Consider online therapy if:

  • You may struggle to find free time in your schedule, and may be seeking ways to save on commuting time and expenses

  • You travel or move often and want to keep the same therapist

  • You need help quickly: our therapists have more flexible schedules for online sessions.

  • You prefer to open up in the comfort of your home or workplace

  • You live in a rural or isolated area, or far from a therapy office

  • You need a therapist who has a particular specialization or who speaks your native language

  • You want greater confidentiality (not running into people in the waiting room, being able to choose a therapist who lives in another city).

  • You are comfortable with digital technologies and oral communication via the internet

  • Disadvantages of online therapy:

  • Distractions or a lack of privacy from household members, pets, or other environmental factors

  • Difficulty connecting with your therapist due to lack of nonverbal cues such as eye contact or body language

  • Technical issues may affect the quality of online therapy

  • Online therapy is not suitable for people with serious psychiatric illnesses or those who need immediate crisis intervention

  • In case one of those factors is a concern for you, you can always use our in-person services!

  • How Does Online Therapy Work?

    First Session

    You will be able to discuss your difficulties or your objectives with your therapist, in complete confidentiality. The link to connect will be provided before the meeting (Zoom or Google Meet). You will be able to express yourself freely from the comfort of your own home. Your therapist will be there to help you express yourself without judgment, in a warm atmosphere.

    Duration and Frequency

    The duration and frequency of sessions can be adapted to your needs. You can make an appointment once a week or every two weeks, depending on the difficulty you are going through or the decision you have to make.

    Afterwards

    After a few online sessions, your therapist will be there for you according to your needs. You will be able to space out meetings monthly or on an ad hoc basis, knowing that you have an emotional safety net at hand to face life's challenges with confidence and serenity.

    Our fees vary from $115 to $160 CAD depending on the professional. You can see the exact prices on each professional’s page, and explore our directory here.

    Our services are available in English, French, Spanish, Portuguese

    The counseling offered at Divan bleu differs from psychotherapy by focusing on the personal development of the client and their relational skills rather than on diagnosis, interpretation and treatment of a pathology. We do not offer psychotherapy

    We mainly work with the Non-Directive Creative Approach (ANDC®)

    This therapeutic approach is based on the belief that each person possesses inner resources that can be mobilized to overcome the difficulties they encounter.

    In this approach, we consider that not having strong and gratifying connections with others, in the past or the present, are the greatest source of suffering in human beings. For us, these sufferings can be transformed into better well-being through prolonged experiences of healthy and authentic relationships. The therapeutic relationship using the ANDC is a concrete example of this type of healthy relationship. In this context, the therapist acts as a benevolent companion, promoting the growth and personal development of the client.

    Our goal is to help our clients better understand themselves, free themselves from their blockages, and develop skills to cope with life’s difficulties. We work with them to identify their resources, strengths, and talents and to mobilize them so that they can achieve their goals.

    Our approach aims to help people feel better in their own skin, develop their self-confidence, and live a more satisfying and fulfilling life.
