Virtual psychotherapy for adult clients across the Capitale-Nationale region – private and confidential
Work stress, anxiety, depression, perfectionism, grief and bereavement
In Quebec City and across the Capitale-Nationale region, finding a licensed adult psychologist quickly is rarely simple. Public wait times at the CISSS de la Capitale-Nationale often run several months, and many residents end up postponing care or paying privately for a tight scheduling slot. Leon Psychology Clinic offers online adult psychotherapy across Quebec, including Quebec City and surrounding boroughs and municipalities like Sainte-Foy, Charlesbourg, Beauport and Loretteville, with no commute and no waiting list. Our adult clients (18 to 64 years old) typically reach out for chronic anxiety, depression, work-related burnout, sleep difficulties, or to navigate a major life transition. Every clinical path starts with a free 15-minute introductory call to make sure the team and approach are the right fit before any commitment.
- Constant anxiety, difficult to control
- Mood swings or persistent sadness
- Sleep or appetite disturbances
- A loss of interest in usual activities
- Tensions in family or romantic relationships
- A feeling of emptiness or loss of meaning
- Blockages or fears that limit your choices
Psychotherapy aims to understand these states, to explore their roots and to find more inner freedom.
Why consult a psychologist in Quebec City?
The Capitale-Nationale region faces documented wait times for adult psychology services in the public network, and many residents of Quebec City, Sainte-Foy, Charlesbourg, Beauport or Loretteville turn to private telepsychology to reduce these delays. Online psychotherapy removes the geographical and scheduling barriers while keeping the clinical quality and confidentiality of an in-office consultation.
Our therapeutic approach for adults in the Capitale-Nationale region
For adults consulting from Quebec City and the Capitale-Nationale region, our work is grounded in cognitive behavioral therapy (TCC), with mindfulness exercises or schema-focused techniques woven in when they fit the situation. All our adult clinicians are members of the Ordre des psychologues du Quebec (OPQ); several psychotherapists are also registered with the Ordre des travailleurs sociaux et thérapeutes conjugaux et familiaux (OTSTCFQ). Sessions run online by secure video, generally weekly or bi-weekly, with practical reflection or homework in between – so the work moves from session into your week in Sainte-Foy, downtown Quebec, Charlesbourg or wherever you live in the region.
Frequently asked questions about psychotherapy in Quebec City
Are your psychologists registered in Quebec?
Yes. The clinicians who consult with adults in Quebec City all hold current registration with the Ordre des psychologues du Quebec (OPQ); a portion of our psychotherapy team is also affiliated with the Ordre des travailleurs sociaux et thérapeutes conjugaux et familiaux (OTSTCFQ). Both orders authorize secure online practice across the province, including the boroughs and outlying municipalities of the Capitale-Nationale.
Will my private insurance cover the sessions?
Coverage depends on your specific employer plan, but most Quebec employer benefits (Beneva, Desjardins, Sun Life, Industrielle Alliance, iA Financial, etc.) reimburse a portion of psychology services delivered by an OPQ-registered psychologist. We issue an itemised receipt after every session, which is also valid for the federal medical expense tax credit and Revenu Québec equivalent on private-pay sessions.
I live in Capitale-Nationale but outside Quebec City. Can I still consult?
Yes. Online sessions work across the whole province. Beyond the City of Quebec proper, our adult clients in the Capitale-Nationale region have included residents of Sainte-Foy, Charlesbourg, Beauport, Loretteville, Saint-Augustin-de-Desmaures and several other boroughs and surrounding municipalities. A reliable internet connection on your end is the only technical requirement.
How quickly can I get a first appointment?
Most adults from the Quebec City area get their free 15-minute introductory call scheduled within the first week to ten days. The first proper session usually follows one to three weeks later, with the timing depending on which clinician you choose and on whether you need evening, mid-day or early-morning slots.
