Because your location shouldn’t limit your care.
Northwell Counselling
Virtual Therapy for Rural, Remote & Northern Ontario
At Northwell Counselling, we believe that access to high-quality, compassionate mental health care shouldn’t depend on where you live. We provide virtual psychotherapy services tailored to meet the needs of individuals, couples, and families living in rural, remote, and Northern Ontario communities—where in-person support may be limited or unavailable.
Grounded in Northern Values, Delivered with Clinical Excellence
Whether you’re navigating anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, parenting challenges, or simply seeking a space to talk, our team of registered psychotherapists and social workers offer evidence-based care from the comfort of your home. We understand the realities of living in small or isolated communities—your care is always confidential, culturally aware, and rooted in respect for your lived experience.
Who We Support
We provide virtual therapy for:
- Adults, couples & families
- Children & youth (with caregiver involvement)
- Perinatal, parenting & reproductive mental health
- Individuals facing chronic stress, trauma, or burnout
- Those living with limited access to local mental health services

Why Virtual?
In rural and Northern communities, barriers like travel distance, weather, long waitlists, and provider shortages can make accessing therapy feel impossible. At Northwell, virtual care isn’t an afterthought—it’s our entire model. We are built for connection across distance, with clinicians trained to work effectively and ethically online.
