I charge $ 150 for a 50-minute session. I do have a sliding scale. Currently, my sliding scale spots are fully booked. If you are interested in being put on my wait list for this consideration please contact me via email at pcowan@gestaltmail.ca. I believe therapy needs to be accessible so I work to keep a balance for this in my practice.

As a Gestalt Therapist, I believe that true and organic change requires two foundational ingredients. The first ingredient is awareness and the second is a capacity for self-support. I know these skills and capacities can be developed in the Gestalt therapeutic process because I witness this with my clients every day. If you have struggled to make shifts in your life or struggled with self-acceptance, you in all likelihood need to develop these capacities for support and awareness. These are not skills that can be developed by reading a book, watching a video or taking a psychotropic drug. They can be developed over time, in a safe space, in resonance with a therapist.

I work to create the conditions for you to experience greater levels of self-awareness in the therapeutic space. Together we explore what self-support feels like for you. I do this by helping you to cultivate a deeper capacity for being present for yourself and the other, in the here and now. In this process, we gently expose outdated beliefs that no longer serve you and you learn to sit at the edges of new possibilities. The work is nuanced, subtle and powerful, and it does require a willingness to engage deeply and commit to a wholesome, heartfelt level of self-responsibility.

I’m an inclusive, LGBTQ+ affirming practitioner. My practice is inclusive and affirming for everyone, I welcome you to share as much or as little as you want with me in order to help you feel comfortable joining my healing space.
