Once you've gone through this process, you are matched with a therapist. Through this process, I was paired with Victoria Cameron. Victoria is a PERFECT fit for me (a mature artist and educator); she is an exceptional listener who always guides our conversations toward meaningful insights with great skill. I am fortunate to have insurance through my workplace, and so have the privilege of being able to take the time required to heal through therapy with this patient, gifted individual. Our appointments are also online, which suits me well. As I do not always have health coverage or sometimes just need to take a breather, Victoria and I sometimes do not speak for several months. When we DO meet again, it is always easy and feels as though my therapist has read her notes! It is important to mention that although the therapy atmosphere is relaxed, we have a strictly professional relationship. I always feel safe and at ease during appointments, and never as though time is wasted. While I understand that we are gently moving toward a time when my need for deep therapy will end, I will always be grateful for the time spent with Victoria Cameron. I give her ALL OF THE STARS.

I never went back and would not recommend this clinic to others. I found her to be unempathetic, judgemental, and (whether intentional or not) spoke and asked questions in a way that elicited shame. The session was a waste of time and left me feeling worse than when I went in. It has contributed to my general skepticism and distrust of many mental health professionals who, despite being credentialed or experienced, can still be accidentally unhelpful or at worst do active harm. Mental health is a tough problem and I applaud and encourage folks to seek professional help, because a skilled therapist can make a huge difference. But a professional degree, employment at a clinic, or even years of experience cannot guarantee fit or competence. I strongly encourage you to do due diligence on the person that you will be trusting with your emotions.

It took me a very long time to be able to write this review. I had seen Megan for about a year…read more Because I had no benefits, she had agreed to see me on a sliding scale, which was very nice. Unfortunately, even the sliding scale was challenging for me, so I sought free therapy. I was able to get into a program for 22 weeks that was totally free so I stopped seeing Megan. She and I discussed this prior to me leaving and she told me specifically that I could come back at any time for the same fee if I still did not have benefits. Once my free program ended, I did reach out to Megan. She told me she could see me again, but only on weekdays between 10 am and 2 pm. I worked at my job from 8 am to 4 pm and I was not comfortable with leaving work, having therapy and then going back to work. I saw that she had an opening with an evening appointment (you could self-book online) so I scheduled myself in for 6 pm. I explained my discomfort and inability to come in during the day time to her and the anxiety I had surrounding this. The thought of coming in during the day and then going back to work was pretty horrible. Megan informed me that evening appointments were reserved for patients who pay full price. I realize this is a business, but she and I had a relationship for an entire year prior and there were no outlined restrictions for me to come back once my free therapy ended. She cancelled the appointment I scheduled before even discussing this with me and offered to have me see someone else in the office. Again, I was not comfortable. I wanted to see her because of the relationship we had. I felt completely rejected, anxious and abandoned. I felt like my free therapy had ended (which I always knew it would) and I thought I could rely on Megan to see me again, but I guess I was wrong. I sent Megan and email outlining how horrible I felt and practically begged to her let me see her. I told her specifically how rejected and anxious this made me feel. Megan refused. I am now over what happened and I have a new incredible therapist. The irony of this is that Megan also told me she was full and couldn't accept new patients. I actually had told my family doctor about her a year prior and my doctor had been referring several patients to her. So I hope her business is doing well, but ultimately she destroyed any kind of therapy relationship I had with her. She destroyed my trust which is so important in therapy. I have discussed this with my current therapist and she also believes what happened was very, very wrong and could see how this could be very damaging to someone with anxiety like me. Ultimately, I would never see Megan again if she gave me the opportunity and I would never recommend her to anyone. If she only cares about patients being able to come when they need to because they pay full price, her priorities are mixed up. Again, I realize this is a business, but you would think care enough to honour her word and see me when I needed therapy again. Overall, completely disappointed.

Megan's style is professional, yet casual- I felt like I was going to talk to a friend each week, not a stiff doctor-type. I worked with Megan for just over a year, and my life has changed so much for the better. She is understanding, non-judgemental, and very knowledgable. She is made for this job and is a natural at caring for others while respecting your own choices and opinions. Unfortunately, I moved out of the city so no longer see her, but I often hear her wise words in my head even now.

She's argumentative, cuts you off and doesn't really seem like she wants to be there and just generally comes across as incendiary and annoying.
