Quality Therapy, Wherever You Are in Ontario
At Little Waves Therapy, we offer virtual therapy across Ontario: providing accessible and flexible support for teens, parents, and families from the comfort of their own space.
Virtual therapy is available for adolescents ages 13–18, as well as parent support sessions and family sessions. It can be a helpful option for families navigating busy school schedules, extracurricular commitments, transportation barriers, or situations where attending in-person sessions is difficult.
For children ages 12 and under, we offer in-person therapy to best support developmentally appropriate, play-based interventions. If you're unsure which format is right for your family, we are happy to discuss this during your free 15-minute consultation.

FAQQuestions About Virtual Therapy
Is virtual therapy as effective as in-person therapy?
Research consistently shows that virtual therapy is equally effective for most people and most presenting concerns. Many clients find it easier to open up from a familiar environment, and the flexibility can reduce barriers to consistent attendance.
What do I need for virtual sessions?
A private, quiet space, a reliable internet connection, and a device with a camera and microphone. A pair of headphones can help with privacy. We use a secure, PHIPA-compliant video platform.
Can children participate in virtual therapy?
Virtual therapy is available for children and teens aged 12 and up. For children under 12, in-person therapy is generally preferred because of the more hands-on and play-based nature of the work.
Is my information private in a virtual session?
Yes. We use a PHIPA-compliant encrypted video platform specifically designed for healthcare. Your sessions are private and your information is protected in the same way as in-person care.
Can I switch between virtual and in-person sessions?
Absolutely. Many clients mix both formats depending on their schedule, needs, or preference. Just let us know what works best for you.
