FAQ
The Design Your Life Centre is at 321 Carlaw Avenue, Suite 209, in Leslieville, Toronto. Sessions are available in person at the clinic or online, serving clients across Ontario, Nova Scotia, and New Brunswick.
You start with a free consultation. You talk to a real person, share what is bringing you in, and together we figure out the right clinician for you.
We find the right therapist together. Your first conversation is with a real person who gets to know what you are carrying, and we pair you with the clinician best suited to your needs. You then work with that one clinician consistently.
This first one or two sessions are largely focused on assessment. The focus during these initial sessions is to understand why you are coming, what you've lived, how you process information, and your intentions for the life you want to experience. This helps us formulate not just how you got to where you are but the path forward to where you want to go. From there we begin the work one step at a time.
​
We recommend that new clients book a minimum of 6 sessions in a rhythm of once every two weeks to start. This is the minimum needed to know that the work is making a tangible difference.
Our therapists draw on Schema Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Mindfulness Based Cognitive Therapy, Dialectical Behaviour Therapy, Narrative Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, and Gottman Couples Therapy. The Inside-Out Way is the framework that brings the tools together for you.
