Client Stories

What our clients say

I came in feeling completely overwhelmed. After just a few sessions, I had tools I actually use every day. The environment felt safe from the very first visit.

Couples therapy with Acquah Counseling gave my partner and I a new language for understanding each other. We're stronger now than we've ever been.

— Couples Client, Ontario

My teenage son wouldn't talk to anyone. After a few sessions here, he opened up in ways I never expected. I'm so grateful we found this practice.

Questions

Frequently Asked

Is seeking therapy a sign of weakness? +

Not at all. Asking for help takes courage and self-awareness. In our work together, we'll help you identify your strengths and use them to reduce the impact of the challenges you're facing.

Do you offer in-person and virtual sessions? +

Yes — we offer both in-person sessions at our Ajax, Ontario office and virtual sessions (video or phone) for clients across Ontario. Appointments are available on select weekdays, evenings, and Saturdays.

How long will therapy take? +

Everyone's journey is unique. The length of counseling depends on your goals, commitment, and the factors that brought you to seek support. We'll work together to find a pace that feels right for you.

Is therapy covered by my insurance? +

Many health insurance and employee benefit plans cover psychotherapy fully or in part. We also offer direct billing to most major providers. Contact us and we'll help you verify your coverage before your first session.

What is your cancellation policy? +

Please cancel at least 24 hours in advance to avoid being charged for the full session. We understand that life happens — if you have a concern, please reach out and we'll do our best to accommodate you.
