We’ll match you →You know therapy could help. The problem is finding the time.
Work runs from nine to five, or longer. The kids need picking up. Your shifts change every week. By the time you’re free, most offices have closed for the day.
At Heart of Oak Psychotherapy, appointments are available on weekday evenings and on weekends, in person in Oakville and virtually across Ontario & select provinces.
Our Hours
- Mon–Fri 8 AM–10 PM; Sat/Sun 10 AM–5 PM, by appointment
Availability varies by therapist and changes from week to week. The free consultation and our online booking page show current openings.
Who Evening and Weekend Sessions Are For
- Professionals who can’t step away during the workday
- Shift workers, first responders and healthcare workers
- Parents who need sessions after bedtime or on a weekend morning
- Students who want to book around classes
- Teens who’d rather not miss school for appointments
- Couples and families trying to find a time that works for everyone
- Anyone who simply wants therapy to feel less like another thing to squeeze in
In Person or Virtual
Our therapy offices are located in a residential home in Oakville. All sessions are by appointment only.
If you’d rather not drive after a long day, virtual sessions let you join from home. Many people find a 9pm virtual session, once the house is quiet, easier than any daytime appointment.
We see clients from Oakville, Burlington and Milton in person, and virtually across Ontario & select provinces.

What We Help With
Evening and weekend sessions are available for the same kinds of support we offer during the day, including: - Anxiety, stress and burnout - Depression and low mood - OCD and intrusive thoughts - Trauma and PTSD - Grief and pet loss - ADHD and neurodivergence - Relationships, dating and self-esteem - Eating disorders - Support for first responders and healthcare workers - Couples therapy and family therapy - Therapy for preteens and teens
A Regular Time Can Make It Easier
Many people find it easier to keep going with therapy when sessions happen at a regular time that doesn’t fight with the rest of their week. A standing Tuesday evening or Saturday morning slot can make therapy feel like part of your routine rather than one more thing to juggle.
