    How Much Does Therapy Cost in Canada

    An overview of therapy costs in Canada, affordable options, and Ruh's commitment to accessible, culturally aligned mental health services for Muslims.

    Tend to the Garden Within

    This reflection explores the journey of finding spiritual peace not by escaping the world but by transforming within. Initially yearning for solitude in nature, the writer realizes that true tranquility lies in reshaping one’s perspective, embracing life’s challenges, and discovering the sacred within the ordinary. Through motherhood and personal loss, she learns to find Allah in simple moments — a backyard walk, wildflowers, the night sky — and to build an inner sanctuary of peace, or maskan, regardless of external circumstances. Ultimately, this journey underscores the importance of self-knowledge, consistent worship, and everyday retreats as pathways to a deeper connection with the Divine.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Ask away! Our client care team will happily take care of you :)
    hello@ruhcare.com
    +1 416-639-5993
    Do you offer financial assistance?
    Yes! We offer a sliding scale financial assistance program for anyone that doesn't have insurance coverage and is unable to afford the full cost of therapy.

    We truly believe your financial circumstances should not be a limiting factor to accessing the care you need. Our client care team would love for you to reach out if you feel that exploring financial assistance would be beneficial to you or someone you know.
    What makes therapy at Ruh Islamic?
    At Ruh, everything we do is guided by the principles of Islam and rooted in the teachings of Ahlus Sunnah wal Jama’ah. We understand that mental health is a journey that touches both the heart and soul, and we believe that every step of this process is an amanah (trust) given to us by Allah. We strive to approach our work with ihsaan (excellence), with the intention of alleviating the difficulties faced by our brothers and sisters with compassion, wisdom, and sincerity.

    Our therapists are trained in a variety of therapeutic modalities, with ongoing professional development that includes religious consultation and clinical training within an Islamic framework. This allows them to integrate modern therapeutic techniques with Islamic teachings, ensuring that our clients’ cultural and spiritual needs are always respected and addressed.

    At the core of Ruh’s approach is the relationship with Allah (SWT). We recognize that healing is a holistic process—one that should not be void of the client’s ruh (soul). With this in mind, our therapists incorporate concepts like tawakkul (trust in Allah), sabr (patience), and gratitude, amongst other Islamic character strengths, when appropriate, in ways that are meaningful to our clients.

    In addition to providing culturally sensitive care, we are deeply committed to seeing each client as they are. Our therapists strive to create a safe, inclusive space where clients feel heard, understood, and supported in their personal journeys. At Ruh, we foster a community that uplifts and empowers individuals, helping them to find healing through both modern mental health practices and the timeless wisdom of Islam.
    How much does a therapy session cost?
    The cost of a single therapy session is between $120-$200 depending on the therapist's certification, area of service, years of expertise, and session type. If you are unable to afford the cost of therapy, we highly encourage you to apply to our sliding scale financial assistance program.
    Does Ruh offer therapy in-person? Is online therapy effective?
    Ruh is currently a fully online therapy platform. Online therapy has proven to be effective, if not even more effective for many people, offering several meaningful benefits like access to a wider range of therapeutic expertise you may not find locally, greater accessibility without long waitlists, and convenience of joining from the comfort and privacy of your own space without having to commute.

    If you're someone who usually prefers in-person sessions, you're not alone. Many of our clients feel that way at first too. That’s why we offer a free 15-minute intro call—and more often than not, many clients choose to confidently move forward after experiencing the impact firsthand of how online support fits into their life more smoothly than they expected.

    While Ruh is fully online, we also run a few in-person initiatives through partnered school and masjid counselling programs. These programs are only available to students or community members directly affiliated with those organizations.
    How do I get matched with a therapist?
    The quickest and easiest way to get matched with a therapist is by filling out our personalized matching form at ruhcare.com/match where you'll be prompted to share your needs and preferences. This will provide you with three therapists from our team which we feel would be a great fit for you! You'll be able to book free intro calls to get to know your recommended therapist before starting a full session.

    You can also choose to call us at +1 416-639-5993 to get manually matched with a therapist over the phone through our client care team!  
    What makes therapy provided by a Muslim therapist different?
    Connecting with a Muslim therapist who understand the frameworks in which govern your values, ethics, and greatly shape your decision making and mindset allows for a deeper understanding of your lived experiences to date.

    It can be very draining and difficult to relay the cultural and religious nuances that a Muslim therapist would know and understand otherwise. At Ruh Care, you’re able to quickly and effectively dive deep into what makes you, you, and how we can provide the best care for you. 

    Without spending excessive time explaining the nuances of Muslim life and values, you can quickly begin discussing your experiences and challenges in a space that respects and integrates your cultural and religious background, using familiar language, enhancing the therapeutic experience. 
    Does insurance cover online therapy?
    Our therapy services are covered by most major insurance companies. We are happy to verify your eligibility and coverage. Please contact us with your insurance details, and we will assist you in understanding the benefits available for our services.
