I loved that a real person helped me figure out which therapist would be the best fit. I didn’t think I’d like virtual sessions but it’s so easy and convenient. I also really like all the extra workshops and groups you can join. It’s a great service and I recommend it to everyone.

Shift Collab Client

Shift Collab is a brilliant idea that really helped me find a great fit of a therapist to work through multiple areas I was looking for help with and to speak with someone about personally as well. They provide a secure virtual system and a smooth process with communication in all areas. Both my therapist and Shift as a service are amazing and I constantly recommend to family and friends alike. Thank you for helping me and many others!

Really great way of finding a therapist in Toronto & GTA! Provides lots of information and resources

Shift Collab Client

Had an awesome experience with shift when I was recommended some practitioners to fit my exact needs. Had free calls with them to determine if they were right for me, and I really loved how transparent they were about pricing. Best independent mental health clinic I’ve come across so far compared to any school-based or GP recommended care.
