What we hear, again and again
The search shouldn't be this hard.
Too many of us have left therapy because we spent the first three sessions explaining who we are. We built Heartful so you can start at session one.
You shouldn't have to choose between therapy and your values.
Who you are is not a footnote to your mental health. With us, it sits at the center of the work, on your terms.
You shouldn't have to search for hours to find someone who gets it.
We match you in days, not weeks, with up to three therapists who fit how you live and work.

FAQ
Questions, answered.
If something isn't here, write to us. A real person on our team will respond.
Yes. All sessions are held in a private, encrypted video room governed by Canadian healthcare privacy law (PHIPA, PIPEDA, and provincial equivalents). Your therapist will discuss the limits of confidentiality with you in the first session.
Every Heartful therapist is registered with their provincial college (CRPO, OCSWSSW, CPO, OPQ, OTSTCFQ, and equivalents) and licensed to practice in the province where their client lives.
Yes. Our team practices in many languages, including a few languages. You can share your language preference during intake.
Please contact us for our current rates. Most clients are covered fully or in part by their workplace benefits. We also keep a small number of low fee spots open at all times for those who need them.
Of course. Fit matters more than anything in this work. You can request a new match at any point in your care, with no awkward conversation required. Our care team handles it.
Yes. We currently work with adults from age 16, and we offer couples therapy with therapists trained in EFT and Gottman Method. We hope to extend to younger children in 2026.
That's okay. The intake form is short, and you don't have to commit to anything after it. If you'd like, we can send you back two or three matched therapist profiles to read at your own pace, and you can decide later.
Your heart deserves care that honors who you are.
