Counselling for Orillia Residents — Virtual Across Ontario and In-Person in Barrie
Online Therapy for Clients in Orillia
Orillia clients can connect with a Reset therapist through secure virtual appointments — from home, from work, or from any private location that works for you.
Virtual therapy is available to Ontario residents where clinically appropriate, and you go through the same clinician matching process as anyone booking in person. We help you find a therapist who fits your needs, your schedule, and your preferences.
For people with busy routines, transportation limitations, or a preference for home-based sessions, virtual care removes the barrier of travel while keeping the quality of care consistent.
In-Person Counselling at Our Barrie Clinic
Orillia residents who prefer face-to-face sessions are welcome to attend our Barrie clinic:
Reset Counselling & Psychotherapy
Unit 201–151 Essa Road
Barrie, Ontario
Our Barrie location offers a warm, private, and confidential environment for in-person therapy. Many clients from Orillia find the short drive worthwhile — particularly when they want the grounding that comes from meeting a therapist in person.
Reset does not currently operate a physical clinic in Orillia. All in-person sessions take place at the Barrie office.
Counselling Services Available to Orillia Clients
Individual Counselling for Adults
Individual counselling at Reset supports adults navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, grief and loss, chronic stress, self-esteem challenges, and life transitions.
Our therapists draw on evidence-based approaches to help you understand what's happening beneath the surface — and build real tools to move forward. Sessions are confidential, non-judgmental, and shaped around your goals.
Whether you're working through something recent or something you've been carrying for years, individual psychotherapy gives you dedicated space to heal and grow.
Couples Counselling and Relationship Therapy
Couples counselling at Reset helps partners work through communication difficulties, repeated conflict, emotional distance, broken trust, intimacy challenges, and relationship transitions.
Therapy gives both partners space to be heard. Our therapists help you slow down the dynamic, understand what's driving the disconnection, and rebuild a stronger foundation — whether you're navigating a specific rupture or a slow drift that's built over time.
Sessions are available in person at our Barrie clinic or virtually across Ontario.
Teen and Adolescent Counselling
Adolescence brings real pressure. School stress, social challenges, family conflict, low mood, identity questions, and emotional regulation difficulties all show up in our work with teenagers.
Teen therapy at Reset creates a space that belongs entirely to the young person — a place to say what they can't say at home, and to start understanding themselves better. Our therapists build genuine rapport with teens rather than talking at them.
If you're a parent wondering whether your teen could benefit from support, trust that instinct. Early access to counselling builds skills that carry forward into adulthood.
What We Can Help With
Anxiety, Depression, Stress and Burnout
Anxiety and depression are among the most common reasons people reach out to us — and they respond well to therapy.
We help clients work through:
- Persistent worry and racing thoughts
- Low mood or emotional numbness
- Panic symptoms and avoidance behaviours
- Chronic stress and occupational burnout
- Difficulty sleeping, concentrating, or staying present
Therapy builds practical coping strategies alongside a deeper understanding of what's driving the distress. Emotional well-being improves when the root causes are addressed, not just managed.
Trauma, Grief, Chronic Illness and Difficult Life Experiences
Some experiences leave a mark that everyday coping cannot reach. Our trauma-informed counselling supports clients working through:
- Traumatic experiences and PTSD symptoms
- Grief and loss — including death, relationship endings, and other significant losses
- Chronic illness and chronic pain
- Difficult memories that keep surfacing in daily life
- Emotional recovery after life-altering events
Our therapists provide a safe, grounded environment for processing what's happened and finding a way forward.
ADHD, Emotional Regulation, Self-Esteem and Life Transitions
Not every reason to seek counselling involves a crisis. Sometimes it's about managing ADHD and executive functioning challenges more effectively, building self-esteem after years of self-criticism, or navigating major transitions like parenthood, career change, relationship shifts, or retirement.
These concerns are real. They affect daily life, relationships, and how you feel about yourself. Our team works with clients to build emotional regulation skills, develop a more honest self-concept, and move through change with more confidence and clarity.
Therapy Approaches Used by Our Team
Why Orillia Clients Choose Reset Counselling and Psychotherapy
Registered Psychotherapists and Registered Social Workers
Our team includes Registered Psychotherapists (RP), Registered Psychotherapists (Qualifying), and Registered Social Workers (RSW) — all regulated mental health professionals in Ontario.
Regulated designations matter. They indicate a clinician has met the professional and ethical standards set by their governing college. When you book with Reset, you work with a qualified professional — not a coach or an unregulated practitioner. You can verify credentials through the College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario and the Ontario College of Social Workers and Social Service Workers.
Find the Right Therapist With Our Matching Process
Therapeutic fit affects outcomes. A strong relationship with your therapist is one of the best predictors of meaningful progress — and not every therapist will be the right match for every person.
Reset makes finding that fit easier. Our therapist matching quiz pairs you with clinicians based on your concerns, personality preferences, availability, and goals. You can also browse detailed therapist profiles, watch introduction videos, and reach out to us directly at info@resetbarrie.ca if you'd like a personalised recommendation.
Serving Simcoe County Since 2016
Reset Counselling & Psychotherapy has served individuals and families across Barrie and the wider Simcoe County region since 2016. That's over a decade of building relationships with clients, developing clinical expertise, and contributing to mental health care in this community.
That history gives us perspective — and it reflects a practice that has earned the trust of clients over time, not just through marketing.
What to Expect When You Start Therapy
Your First Counselling Session
Your first session is an intake. There is no pressure to have the right words or the full picture.
Your therapist will ask about your background, what's been hard lately, and what you'd like to work toward. Together, you'll begin to shape a plan that feels manageable. That plan can adjust as you go — therapy is a collaborative process, not a fixed script.
Many clients describe feeling relieved after the first session, even when things still feel hard.
How Often Will I Need Therapy?
Session frequency depends on your goals, the concerns you're working through, your schedule, and your progress over time. There is no fixed number of sessions that applies to everyone.
Some clients come for a short, focused period. Others prefer ongoing support over months or years. Your therapist will check in regularly to make sure the work continues to feel relevant and useful — and adjust the frequency together with you as things shift.
What If My First Therapist Is Not the Right Fit?
It happens. Therapeutic fit is not always apparent in the first session, and it matters more than people realise.
If you don't feel like you've found the right match, let us know. As a multi-clinician practice, we can help you explore other therapists on our team whose style, training, or availability might suit you better. The goal is to find someone you genuinely like and trust.

Ready to Find a Therapist? Book Counselling With Reset
You don't need to know exactly what to say or what type of therapy you need. Most people arrive without a clear answer — just a sense that something needs to change. That's enough to get started.
Orillia residents can begin with a virtual session from home, or book an in-person appointment at Reset's Barrie clinic whenever that feels right.
Our team is here to help you find a therapist you genuinely like and trust — someone who fits your life, your concerns, and your goals.
