FAQ

What is AskforHelpToday.ca?

This service provides hassle-free and quick connection to a psychologist who best matches your needs and preferences. You get to choose what’s most important to you: wait times, location, virtual or in-person meetings and area of specialization.

The short questionnaire will take no longer than 5 minutes. Most clients can expect to be referred to a psychologist within 2 business days to book an appointment.


Is there a cost to use this service?

You will be asked to cover the cost of the sessions - psychologist fees vary between $160 and $240 per hour currently. Before you book a session, check whether any of the costs are covered by benefits you may have through work. Fee information will be provided upfront when you are contacted by the psychologist.

If you feel you qualify for financial aid programs (such as sliding scale fees) please contact the OPA directly at (416) 961-5552 or [email protected] to assist you.

Can I meet with my psychologists virtually?

Will my health information remain confidential?
