How it works
— We coordinate IFHP paperwork.
IFHP psychotherapy needs a physician's prescription and pre-authorization — we work with the client's doctor and submit the pre-authorization ourselves.
— A free consultation within one week.
Your client speaks with a clinician to find the right fit before anything begins.
— Treatment-documentation letters.
With written consent, we provide letters documenting that treatment is underway.
— Care in the client's language.
Sessions run in English, French, and Farsi. Clients are welcome to bring their own interpreter.
What we help with
Adults 18+. Anxiety · depression and low mood · trauma and PTSD · adjustment difficulties · grief · migration and settlement stress. Psychological assessments and expert reports require a psychologist.
We are not a crisis service. A client in immediate danger should call or text 9-8-8 or contact emergency services. Nothing is shared with immigration authorities or anyone else without the client's written consent.
