TICP Community Clinic

About

The TICP Community Clinic is a low-fee, in-person psychotherapy clinic operated by the Toronto Institute for Contemporary Psychoanalysis — a training institute with roots going back to 1990 that is affiliated with the International Federation for Psychoanalytic Education. The clinic opened its doors in 2021 in response to the growing mental health crisis, and has since delivered over 15,000 in-person patient sessions at an average charge of less than $10 per session, ensuring that cost is never a barrier to receiving care. Therapy at the TICP Community Clinic is provided by advanced student therapists who are completing their in-person psychotherapy certification — supervised by senior practicing analysts and registered with the College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario (CRPO). The psychoanalytic approach means sessions are exploratory and relational, suited to individuals dealing with anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, relationship difficulties, and deeper existential questions. For Torontonians who want quality therapeutic support but cannot afford market rates, this clinic represents one of the most affordable access points for in-person mental healthcare in the city.
