New Student Community Wellness Clinic!

At Harris Psychotherapy, we believe that mental health support should be a right, not a privilege. We are proud to officially introduce the Student Community Wellness Clinic—a dedicated space for accessible, high-quality therapy.

The Model
Our clinic is staffed by Student Psychotherapists-in-Training who are completing their advanced clinical hours. Every session is conducted under the close supervision of our senior Registered Psychotherapists, ensuring you receive the same standard of care you expect from our practice.

The Fee Structure
To support our community, we utilize a geared-to-income model. Your session fee is determined by your annual household income, allowing us to provide sustainable care for everyone:

Standard: $100 per session

Supported: $50 per session

Community: $20 per session

Access: Free (for those experiencing significant financial hardship)

Why Choose the Student Clinic?
By choosing our Student Community Wellness Clinic, you aren’t just accessing affordable care—you are working with clinicians who bring fresh academic insights, deep empathy, and a passion for the work.

We are beyond lucky to announce the newest member of the team, Brittney Doherty! 🌻🌿💛

Brittney is our first social worker on the team! She is currently accepting clients and works with individuals 14 years old and above. If you are interested in working with Brittney, you can reach her directly at brittney@harrispsychotherapy.org or visit www.harrispsychotherapy.org to book an appointment directly through the website.

Here is Brittney's Bio:

Hi there, and welcome. Taking the first step toward change can feel overwhelming, but you don’t have to do it alone.
If you’ve been feeling weighed down by anxiety, lingering low moods, stuck in patterns of self-doubt, navigating a difficult life transition, or experiencing relationship strains, you may be longing for a space where you can finally exhale. Therapy can be that space for you.
As a Registered Social Worker, I work with teens (14+) and adults to help them better understand their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. I draw from approaches such as CBT, DBT, Solution-Focused Therapy, and Internal Family Systems to help you build coping tools, regulate overwhelming emotions, strengthen your self-esteem, and deepen your self-awareness. My style is collaborative, compassionate, and gently challenging when needed. Together we can create meaningful, lasting change at a pace that works for you.
Our sessions are a safe, supportive space where you can show up authentically, unpack the heaviness, worries, and questions that may feel hard to carry on your own.
I understand personally how vulnerable it can feel to search for the “right” therapist. Finding a good fit matters. If something here resonates with you, I’d be happy to connect. I am currently accepting virtual clients ages 14+. Please email me at brittney@harrispsychotherapy.or

Let’s improve access to psychotherapy!

We’ve been seeing in the news all of the challenges our community is facing in Niagara, across the province, and across the nation.

Together as a clinic, we want to take tangible steps to help improve access to care. So together we’re launching a program, in partnership with Yorkville University to help make therapy more accessible. As we offer a place for students to learn, and the community to recieve lower rates, we offer our students free supervision to help them on their journey!

We’re offering some pro bono, and discounted sessions for people who are struggling financially in the community.

To access the program, head to www.harrispsychotherapy.org, click “Book Now” and select “Student Psychotherapist” on this portal, you can book in for discounted therapy.

All of our clinicians are currently accepting new clients, and we want to help you heal.
