Counselling Services for Newmarket Residents
Newmarket residents searching for qualified mental health support have access to the full range of Reset's counselling and psychotherapy services — virtually, from wherever they are. Whether you're managing something that's been building for years or navigating a more recent challenge, our team offers professional, personalized support.
Individual Counselling & Psychotherapy
Individual therapy at Reset addresses a wide range of concerns, including anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, ADHD, life transitions, self-esteem, stress, and burnout. Sessions are tailored to your goals and paced to fit your needs. Our therapists use evidence-based approaches to help you develop practical tools and move forward with greater clarity and confidence.
Couples & Relationship Counselling
Couples therapy at Reset is a space for both partners to be heard. Our therapists work with communication difficulties, recurring conflict, trust and intimacy, emotional disconnection, and relationship transitions. The goal is to slow down the dynamic and help both of you understand what's actually happening beneath the surface — so you can rebuild connection and build healthier relationship patterns together.
Teen & Adolescent Counselling
Adolescence brings real pressures. Our therapists work with teenagers navigating anxiety, low mood, school and social stress, self-esteem struggles, emotional regulation, family changes, and major life transitions. Teen sessions provide a safe, private space that belongs entirely to the young person — a place to process what's happening without judgment.
Mental Health Concerns We Can Help With
Therapy works across a broad range of challenges. Below are some of the mental health concerns our team regularly supports. Each one receives the same level of personalized, evidence-informed care.
Anxiety, Depression, Stress & Burnout
Anxiety and depression are among the most common reasons people seek therapy — and among the most treatable. Our therapists work with generalized anxiety, social anxiety, panic, intrusive thoughts, persistent low mood, chronic stress, and burnout.
Sessions focus on understanding the patterns behind the symptoms, building practical coping skills, and improving emotional regulation. Many clients notice meaningful shifts within the first several sessions. Whether your anxiety has been present for years or stress has recently become unmanageable, support is available.
Trauma, PTSD, Grief & Life Transitions
Trauma does not always come from a single dramatic event. It can stem from childhood experiences, relationship loss, sudden life changes, chronic illness, grief and loss, or any experience that left you feeling unsafe or overwhelmed.
Our trauma-informed therapists support clients dealing with PTSD, grief, difficult experiences that continue to surface in the present, and major life transitions. Therapy helps your nervous system distinguish between past and present, so you can move forward.
ADHD, Self-Esteem, Anger & Relationship Patterns
Our therapists also support clients navigating ADHD and neurodiversity, low self-esteem, anger and emotional overwhelm, and unhelpful interpersonal relationship patterns. These are often interconnected — difficulties with self-worth can shape how we communicate, set boundaries, and relate to others.
Therapy in this area focuses on building self-awareness, developing effective coping strategies, and working through the deeper patterns that make daily life feel harder than it needs to be.
Why Choose Reset Counselling & Psychotherapy
Choosing a therapist is a significant decision. Here is what sets Reset apart.
Care From Regulated Mental Health Professionals
Reset's team includes Registered Psychotherapists (RPs), Registered Psychotherapists (Qualifying), and Registered Social Workers (RSWs). RPs are regulated by the College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario (CRPO). RSWs are regulated by the Ontario College of Social Workers and Social Service Workers (OCSWSSW). You can review each therapist's credentials and background through their individual biographies on our website.
An Established Barrie-Based Therapy Practice
Reset has served individuals and families across the Simcoe Region and beyond for over a decade, making us one of the most established private therapy practices in the area. Our experience means you're working with a team that has supported a wide variety of clients through a wide variety of challenges — and that takes the quality of that care seriously.
Personalized Rather Than One-Size-Fits-All Care
Good therapy is never a template. Our team draws on a range of evidence-informed approaches and tailors them to each individual. We prioritize ongoing clinical training and supervision so our therapists stay current in their practice. The plan we build with you will reflect your specific goals, your pace, and what actually helps you move forward.
Our Approach to Counselling and Psychotherapy
Reset therapists draw on several established, evidence-informed therapeutic approaches. The right combination depends on your goals and your therapist's clinical training.
Find a Therapist You Actually Connect With
The relationship between a client and therapist is one of the strongest predictors of progress in therapy. We take that seriously.
Therapist Matching Based on Your Needs
Our Therapist Matching Quiz helps you find a clinician based on your presenting concern, the therapist's specialty, communication style, availability, and whether you prefer virtual or in-person sessions. Rather than browsing a list of names, you answer a few short questions and we help match you with someone whose approach fits what you are looking for.
Why the Therapist–Client Fit Matters
Comfort, trust, and genuine collaboration shape whether therapy works. A skilled therapist who does not feel like the right fit for you is less likely to be effective than one you genuinely connect with. That is why Reset's core promise has always been to help clients find a great therapist and stay with them — not just book an appointment and hope for the best.
Virtual Counselling in Newmarket and In-Person Therapy in Barrie
Reset provides professional care to Newmarket residents in two ways — online and in-person. Both formats maintain the same standard of regulated, evidence-informed therapy.
Online Therapy for Newmarket Residents
Newmarket residents can attend secure, confidential virtual counselling sessions from home. Online psychotherapy is available to clients across Ontario, and the same professional and ethical standards that apply to in-person therapy continue to apply to all virtual sessions. Virtual care makes it easier to attend consistently, removes the barrier of travel, and offers genuine flexibility for busy schedules without compromising the quality of care.
In-Person Sessions at Our Barrie Clinic
Our in-person clinic is located at Unit 201–151 Essa Road, Barrie, Ontario. Newmarket clients who prefer face-to-face sessions are always welcome to book there. In-person therapy offers a quality of connection that many clients find grounding and meaningful. Some clients choose a combination of both — virtual when life is busy, in-person when they can make the trip.

What to Expect When You Start Therapy
Starting therapy is a significant step. Here is what the process looks like at Reset.
Your First Counselling Session
Your first session is focused on getting to know you. Your therapist will ask about your story, your goals, and what has been difficult lately. Together, you will begin to map out a direction for the work ahead. There is no script and no pressure to have everything figured out before you arrive.
Your Ongoing Therapy Sessions
The frequency and duration of therapy depend on your individual goals and the concerns you are working through. Some clients come for a focused number of sessions; others prefer ongoing support. Your therapist will check in with you regularly to make sure the work continues to feel relevant and useful.
Confidentiality, Consent & Professional Standards
Sessions are confidential within the professional and legal limits that apply to psychotherapy in Ontario. Your therapist will explain those limits clearly during your first session and obtain your informed consent before treatment begins. This is part of Reset's commitment to transparent, ethical, regulated practice.
Therapy Fees, Insurance & Booking
How Much Does Therapy Cost?
Reset's current rate is $170 for a 50-minute session. This applies to both individual and couples sessions. Most clients attend between 8 and 12 sessions per concern, depending on their goals and progress. Please confirm current fees directly with the clinic before booking.
Does Insurance Cover Psychotherapy?
Many extended health plans cover sessions with Registered Psychotherapists and/or Registered Social Workers. Coverage varies by plan and employer. Before booking, confirm which provider designations your plan covers — and whether your plan requires a specific credential for reimbursement. Reset does not offer direct billing at this time, but receipts are provided for eligible reimbursement.
Do I Need a Referral?
No referral is required to book with Reset. You can book directly through the online portal at any time. Some insurance plans may have their own reimbursement requirements, so it is worth checking your coverage before your first session.

Counselling for Newmarket & York Region
Reset provides virtual psychotherapy to residents of Newmarket, York Region, and communities across Ontario. Newmarket is one of York Region's nine municipalities — and whether you are in the heart of town or further out, you can access our team securely online without geography being a barrier.
Our Barrie and Simcoe-Area Community
Reset's in-person clinic serves clients from Barrie, Orillia, Innisfil, Bradford, New Tecumseth, and the broader Simcoe County area, with virtual care extending to Newmarket and across Ontario. Our therapists are embedded in this region — we understand these communities and the people who live in them.
Frequently Asked Questions About Counselling in Newmarket
Do you have a counselling office in Newmarket?
No. Reset's physical clinic is located at Unit 201–151 Essa Road in Barrie, Ontario. Newmarket residents can access the full range of our counselling and psychotherapy services through secure virtual sessions. In-person appointments in Barrie are also available if you prefer face-to-face therapy.
Can I see a Reset therapist online from Newmarket?
Yes. Reset offers virtual counselling and psychotherapy to clients across Ontario, including Newmarket. Sessions take place over a secure, confidential platform. The same professional standards and regulatory requirements that apply to in-person therapy apply to all virtual sessions.
What is the difference between counselling and psychotherapy?
Counselling typically refers to shorter-term, goal-focused support for specific life challenges. Psychotherapy tends to involve deeper, longer-term work that addresses patterns of thought, emotion, and behaviour rooted in past experience. In practice, the terms are often used interchangeably. Reset's team includes both registered psychotherapists and registered social workers who provide both types of support.
How do I choose the right therapist?
A good starting point is Reset's Therapist Matching Quiz, which connects you with a therapist based on your presenting concerns, communication preferences, and availability. You can also review each therapist's individual biography and video on the Reset website. If you are still unsure, email info@resetbarrie.ca and the team can help guide you.
Do I need a doctor's referral for psychotherapy?
No. You can book directly with Reset without a referral. Some insurance plans may require a referral before they reimburse sessions — it is worth confirming this with your provider in advance.
Is counselling covered by workplace insurance?
Often, yes — though coverage varies by plan and provider designation. Many extended health plans cover sessions with Registered Psychotherapists or Registered Social Workers. Check your plan details to confirm which credentials are eligible and whether there is a session cap or annual limit.
What happens during my first psychotherapy session?
Your first session is an intake conversation. Your therapist will ask about what brings you in, your personal history, and what you hope to get from therapy. For couples, each partner is typically interviewed separately during the intake process. By the end of the session, you and your therapist will have a shared sense of direction.
How long does therapy usually take?
This depends on your goals, the concerns you are addressing, and how frequently you attend. Some clients work through a focused concern in a few months. Others benefit from longer-term support. Most clients at Reset attend between 8 and 12 sessions per concern, but your therapist will revisit this with you regularly rather than setting a fixed endpoint.
