Frequently Asked Questions
What type of therapy do you provide?
The therapists at G&R Wellness Services are trained in various evidence-based modalities, such as Gestalt/Humanistic psychotherapy, DBT, Mindfulness-Based Therapy, Narrative Therapy, Clinical Traumatology, and Sex Therapy.
They offer an integrative approach aimed to fit different situations and particular needs.
How is the experience of therapy?
During the first session, the therapist does an initial assessment to further explore the presenting problem and collaborate with the client to determine goals and the treatment plan.
From the 2nd session onwards, the therapist and the client will establish a therapeutic relationship based on trust and safety. We will work collaboratively to explore and increase awareness of your experience, thoughts, beliefs, and emotions and find new paths towards health, fulfillment, and growth.
The number of sessions will vary from case to case. The treatment termination will be determined between the therapist and the client; it may be an ongoing process of evaluation or may end when you feel you have achieved your goals, or at any point, the client wishes to end the process.

What is the difference between psychologist, psychiatrist, psychotherapist, and social worker?
Psychiatrists: They are physicians with a specialty in Psychiatry. They can diagnose according to the DSM and can prescribe medication. Their services are covered by OHIP.
Psychologists: Usually has a PhD in Clinical or Counselling Psychology, some of them hold a Master’s in Clinical Psychology. They can diagnose according to the DSM but do not prescribe medication.
Psychotherapists: Normally has a Master’s degree in Psychotherapy, Counselling Psychology, or Counselling or a graduate diploma in training as a psychotherapist. They cannot diagnose according to the DSM nor prescribe medication.
Social Worker: Usually has a Master’s degree or undergraduate degree in Social Work. Some social workers are “clinical” social workers with more training in psychotherapy rather than “community” social work or other areas of social work. Cannot diagnose according to the DSM. Cannot prescribe medication.
Usually, these professionals have training in what is considered psychotherapy or “talk therapy”. The training for each professional is different. Psychiatrists and Psychologists are often more specialized and tend to handle client concerns that are more severe in nature. A therapist should help you identify the best support for you, also based on their set of skills and training.
Another difference is the cost. Psychotherapists have more accessible costs for therapy.
