Virtual Therapy in Ontario for Young Adults and Adults

Therapy for when you’re carrying too much

You may feel overwhelmed, emotionally drained, disconnected from yourself, or unsure how to move forward. I provide warm, collaborative, psychodynamic therapy for young adults and adults navigating anxiety, depression, grief, and major life changes- especially ADHD, Autism, and AuDHD adults, military spouses, parents, and adults or caregivers adjusting to a medical diagnosis or living with a chronic health condition.

Currently accepting new clients for virtual therapy.

Do you ever feel like you’re carrying too much and aren’t sure where to start? You may be feeling overwhelmed, uncertain, stuck, or simply tired of trying to manage everything on your own. Whatever brings you to therapy, your experiences matter, and you deserve a space where you can feel heard and supported.

Sara takes a warm, collaborative, and empathetic approach to therapy, creating a safe, non-judgmental space where you can explore your thoughts, emotions, and experiences at your own pace. Together, you can develop a deeper understanding of yourself, recognize patterns that may be keeping you stuck, and find ways to move forward that feel meaningful and authentic to you.

Psychotherapy is more than simply talking. It can be an opportunity to build self-awareness, strengthen your coping skills and resilience, and create meaningful change in your life.

Why Choose Psychotherapy?

Meet Sara, Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying), MACP

As an adopted immigrant, my early years were shaped by questions of identity, belonging, and finding where I fit in. Growing up, I also supported my neurodiverse brother, which deepened my understanding of different perspectives and the importance of patience, advocacy, and unconditional acceptance.

Later, as a military spouse and mother, I experienced the challenges of constant change, frequent moves, and adapting to new environments while trying to maintain a sense of stability. Before becoming a psychotherapist, I spent 13 years supporting children, youth, adults, and families - including neurodiverse and vulnerable individuals.

These experiences shaped me into an empathetic, client-centred therapist. I know firsthand how complex and messy life can be, and I strive to create a space where you feel seen, supported, and empowered, no matter your journey.

You May Be Experiencing…

Feeling overwhelmed -anxiety, stress, burnout, or the sense that you’re carrying more than you can hold.

Navigating illness or changes in health - adjusting to a new diagnosis, living with a medical illness or chronic health condition, going through cancer treatment, fear of recurrence, chronic pain, caregiving, or the uncertainty that can come with changes in your health. Our work focuses on the emotional side of it -the anxiety, grief, identity changes, and uncertainty - not on medical advice or treatment

Struggling with self-worth- self-doubt, perfectionism, people-pleasing, or difficulty setting boundaries and making space for yourself.

Navigating a transition- entering post-secondary education, changes in relationships or family life, shifts in identity, work, military life, or adjusting to a new chapter.

Feeling disconnected- losing touch with your own needs while caring for others or meeting expectations.

Struggling in relationships - recurring conflict, communication difficulties, attachment patterns, or disconnection.

Understanding yourself differently - exploring ADHD, Autism, neurodivergence, caregiving, identity, and how these experiences may affect your life and relationships.

Experiencing loss and grief- after the passing of someone you love, the ending of a relationship, changes in family or home life, or a future that looks different than you imagined.

Whatever brings you here, you don't have to have everything figured out before reaching out.

 FAQs

  • A 30-minute therapy consultation is a chance for you and the therapist to get to know each other, discuss what’s bringing you to therapy, and explore whether it feels like a good fit before beginning ongoing sessions. It’s a supportive, no-pressure conversation designed to help you make an informed decision about your care.

  • Yes. Appointments are booked and confirmed by email. Once your appointment has been confirmed, you'll be asked to set up an account through Jane, where you'll receive an intake form to complete before your first session. This form helps provide background information and ensure I can best support you right from the start.

  • An invoice will be sent to you directly after each session. Payment is due at that time.

    Payments can be made via e-transfer to sarabehring@proton.me

  • Some private insurance plans may cover psychotherapy services provided by a Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying). We strongly recommend checking with your insurance provider to confirm coverage details before beginning treatment.

  • Appointments are booked by email. Sessions take place through Jane's secure Telehealth platform, so you'll need a stable internet connection, a device with a camera and microphone (like a computer, tablet, or smartphone), and a quiet, private space for the best experience.

  • Appointments must be cancelled at least 24 hours in advance to avoid being charged. No-shows or cancellations made with less than 24 hours’ notice will be charged the full session fee.

    Appointments are held for 10 minutes past the scheduled start time to accommodate late arrivals or technical difficulties. If you do not arrive within that window, the session will be closed and considered a missed appointment.

  • No. At this time, all sessions are offered virtually only, through a secure telehealth platform. This allows you to connect from the comfort and privacy of your own home, anywhere in Ontario. I do not currently offer in-person sessions.

  • Behring Psychotherapy is based in Ottawa, Ontario. All sessions are currently offered virtually only, so you can attend from anywhere in Ontario — no travel or in-person visit is required.

  • Due to the nature of scheduling, last-minute sessions are generally not available. It’s recommended to book your appointments in advance to ensure availability. If you need an appointment sooner than scheduled, please reach out, and we’ll do our best to accommodate you based on availability.

  • Your therapist will provide at least two weeks' notice for any planned absences. Before their absence, your therapist will discuss other resources that may be helpful during this time.

    You will not be billed for any unexpected absences on the therapist's behalf.

    In the event of an emergency, please call 9-1-1 or visit your nearest hospital emergency department. If you are experiencing or witnessing a non-emergency mental health crisis, you can contact the Toronto Community Crisis Service by calling 2-1-1.

  • As part of her training, Sara works under the clinical supervision of experienced registered psychotherapists. Being under supervision means that while the therapist conducts sessions independently, they regularly consult with their supervisor to ensure they are providing ethical, effective, and client-centered care. This collaborative process supports the therapist’s growth and ensures clients receive high-quality support throughout their therapeutic journey.

  • No. At this time, I offer virtual therapy to clients located in Ontario. Because psychotherapy is regulated provincially, you will need to be in Ontario at the time of your session. If you live outside Ontario, or if you are planning to move outside Ontario, please reach out- we can explore what options may be available,
