Do I need a diagnosis or referral to see a therapist?

No. You can book a psychotherapist directly, without a referral or a formal diagnosis. Many people start therapy while they're still figuring out what's going on. A diagnosis, if you need one, would come from your doctor or another qualified professional.

Will therapy put me on a meal plan or a diet?

Therapy at Heart of Oak takes a non-diet approach. Your therapist won't tell you to lose weight or follow a diet. If a structured meal plan would help, that's usually something a registered dietitian works on with you, and your therapist can support you alongside it.

Does Megan see teens?

Megan sees individuals 16 and older. If you're looking for support for someone younger, take our matching quiz or book a free matching call, and we'll help you figure out next steps.

Can eating disorder therapy be done online?

Yes. Many people do this work by secure video, and Megan offers virtual sessions across Ontario & select provinces.

Is the first consultation free?

Yes. The first 15-minute consultation is free, with no pressure to book. Consultations are by secure video unless you let us know you'd prefer a phone call.
