Individual therapy sessions are $180 for a 50 minute appointment delivered in person at my Oshawa office or virtually anywhere in Ontario and Nova Scotia.

Psychotherapy services at Stephanie Campoli Psychotherapy are not covered by OHIP. However, as a Registered Social Worker (RSW), my services are covered by many extended health care insurance plans. If you plan to use your personal health care benefits I recommend checking with your provider before the first session to confirm your coverage and any per-session limits.

Yes. Stephanie Campoli Psychotherapy offers a free 20 minute phone consultation so we can get a feel for whether or not we are a good fit to work together before you commit. The relationship you build with your therapist matters more than almost anything else in therapy outcomes so I encourage you to use this option. You can book your consultation here.

I see therapy clients in person at my Oshawa office conveniently located Downtown Oshawa at 71 Albert Street.

I also see clients virtually across both Ontario and Nova Scotia through a PHIPA-compliant platform so you can access therapy from anywhere within these provinces.

I work with clients aged 16+ in Ontario (in person and virtually) and 16+ virtually in Nova Scotia.

My current hours are Monday to Thursday, 9 AM to 4 PM. Evenings are currently reserved for group programming. I'm planning to bring on an associate in fall 2026 who will offer evening availability — contact me for more information or to be added to the waitlist.

Yes. I currently have limited availability to take on new clients right away, and I regularly maintain a waitlist for services. Reach out to find out where things stand and whether we're a good fit.

No. You don't need a referral to book with me. However, if you plan to claim sessions through extended health benefits or a workplace insurance plan, it's worth checking with your provider — some plans require a referral for reimbursement.

You can come to me for support with BPD, trauma, addictions, emotion dysregulation, relationship challenges, and the impact of difficult or invalidating childhood experiences. I also help you work through life transitions, work and parenting stress, and perinatal or postpartum struggles. We’ll focus on practical, evidence-based support that fits what you’re going through.

That's the goal. Therapy works best when you feel understood — not analyzed, not judged, just genuinely seen. I aim to create a space where you can show up honestly, including the parts you've never said out loud before. My approach is warm, direct, and collaborative. You're not a case to be solved. You're a person, and we work together.

First — take a breath. A BPD diagnosis can feel overwhelming, but it's actually one of the most treatable mental health conditions, and there's real reason for hope. The most effective evidence-based treatment for BPD is Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), which I offer as part of a comprehensive program. A good first step is booking a free consultation so we can talk about what you're experiencing and whether DBT is the right fit. You don't have to figure it all out before reaching out.

No. While DBT was originally developed for BPD, the skills are useful for anyone struggling with intense emotions, relationship difficulties, impulsivity, or self-destructive patterns. Many of my DBT clients don't have a BPD diagnosis — they're simply people who feel things deeply and want practical tools to navigate their lives more skillfully.

I'm trained in several evidence-based therapies including Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) for trauma, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Internal Family Systems (IFS) informed work, Motivational Interviewing, and Solution-Focused Brief Therapy. I match the approach to what you're working on rather than fitting you into one model. [Learn more about my therapeutic approaches →]

Not at all. Therapy can be valuable for anyone navigating difficult life experiences, transitions, or patterns they want to understand and change. You don't need a diagnosis to deserve support.

In our first session, we'll take some time to talk about what brings you in, what you've been dealing with, and what you'd like to get out of therapy. I'll also ask a few questions about your background and current supports so we can get a clear picture of what you need. You do not need to have everything figured out before you arrive. We'll move at a pace that feels manageable.
