The Montreal Therapy Centre was founded in 2003 with a vision of providing high-quality psychotherapy services for individuals, couples, and families, at rates that are affordable to everyone. At a time when cutbacks were reducing access to mental health services in the public sector we wanted to create an organization to fill the gap. MTC has grown to include over 90 professionals providing therapy in 14 languages. We offer a wide range of services including: Individual therapy Couples therapy Family therapy Art therapy Drama therapy Group therapy Premarital counseling Specialized services for children and adolescents. Our mission We believe that good mental health is the foundation for well-being, solid families and a strong community. From the beginning, our mission has always been to create a centre offering a wide range of services and to price them so that they would be accessible to the greatest number of people. Our Sliding-scale An important part of our mission at the Montreal Therapy Centre is to ensure that high quality psychotherapy services are available to all. Regular rates for psychotherapy often range between $150 and $200 per session, which can be prohibitive for most people. Our sliding scale ranges from $60-$135 per session and our fees are set according to household income to ensure that we can serve the greatest number of people. All of our therapists reserve a certain number of sliding scale spaces to accommodate those in need. Our partnerships We value strong ties to the communities we serve and work toward developing partnerships with other organizations. We work with student centres at local Cegeps and Universities to provide services to students. We also work with various governmental programs, companies, hospitals and CLSCs to ensure that clients who need immediate access to therapy can be served without a waiting list.
