Psychotherapy with Student Interns
Affordable Therapy Sessions in Guelph and Online for Anxiety and more
Student Intern is a term to describe therapists who are completing a Psychotherapy Internship as part of their educational requirements providing counselling sessions at a reduced rate. ​
Niilo Wellness is thrilled to welcome student interns to our team as we aim to nurture growth, collaboration, and support for our practitioners, as well as make therapy even more financially accessible to clients in our community.
Why you may want to consider counselling with a Psychotherapy Student Intern...
1
High Quality Care
Clients have 1:1 Sessions with Interns who later consult with their supervisor which means clients receive a fresh student perspective combined with seasoned supervisor expertise making Intern Counselling sessions a valuable and effective option for therapy!
2
Health Benefit Insurance Coverage
Interns provide therapy under supervision from Registered Psychotherapist Supervisors which qualifies sessions to be covered for reimbursement by most Health Benefit Insurance Plans
3
No Waitlist & Low Session Rates
Interns typically have more available session times until they fill their client caseload
Individual Session: $80/hr
Couples Session: $90/hr
​
Lower rates make counselling more financially accessible and stretches out Health Benefits Insurance coverage. For those who do not have Health Benefit coverage for psychotherapy, Niilo Interns offer sliding scale rates, including free counselling sessions, however these spots are limited. Email info@niilowellness.ca to inquire if a sliding scale/free therapy client spot is available with an intern.
