finding an apartment in Toronto.
If you’ve ever sent five intake emails and gotten three replies two weeks later, only to be told there’s a 6-week waitlist, you already understand the problem. Hearby exists because that gap between needing help and getting help is too wide.
The model
Why a single session works.
Single Session Therapy is an evidence-based model used in clinics worldwide. The premise is simple: most people who attend one session find it meaningful enough that they don’t return for a second.
Not because therapy failed, but because one good conversation, focused on what matters now, often does the work.
You leave with clarity, a plan, or just the relief of being heard.
If after your session you want to continue with the same therapist, you can book directly. No pressure either way.
When a single session fits
A specific decision.
You're weighing something heavy and want a thinking partner who isn't your family or your friends.
A hard week.
Something happened. You don't need ongoing therapy. You need to talk it through, once, with someone trained.
A starting point.
You're considering longer-term therapy but want one session to see what it feels like first.
How it works.
You pick an issue you wish to discuss on Hearby.
Hearby™ sends the assignment to available therapists that specialise in the issue.
Therapist confirms the appointment (usually same day), session starts immediately over Hearby™ or later, your choice. You can also save a therapist to continue with in the future.
No waiting time, no 100-page pre-consultation questionnaire to fill out.
Hearby is a good fit if you…
You don’t need to have it figured out. You just need a place to start.
Pricing
What it costs.
Each therapist on Hearby sets their own rate. You see the rate before you book.
There are no subscriptions and no platform fees added on top, what you see is what you pay. Many extended health plans cover psychotherapy. After your session, you’ll receive an itemized receipt for your insurance or for tax credit purposes. Psychotherapy is recognized for the Canada Revenue Agency medical expense tax credit.
