Online Therapy in Yukon

Yes. Registered Psychotherapists (RPs) licensed through the College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario (CRPO) can legally provide virtual therapy to clients living in Yukon. They must follow the same professional and ethical standards as they would with Ontario-based clients.

At The Therapy Space, all therapy sessions are conducted securely through Jane App — a Canadian telehealth platform that complies with both provincial and federal privacy legislation. This allows clients throughout Yukon to access professional, high-quality care without needing to travel or face long waitlists.

Online therapy gives you freedom and flexibility. You can continue working with the same therapist even if you relocate within the territory or move elsewhere in Canada, ensuring consistent and uninterrupted care.

Therapists at The Therapy Space are Registered Psychotherapists (RPs) or RP (Qualifying) members under the CRPO. Each therapist holds a master’s degree in counselling, psychotherapy, or psychology, and has completed extensive supervised clinical training focused on ethics, self-awareness, and client safety.

Our therapists use evidence-based approaches such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), mindfulness, and somatic-based therapy.

Each therapist brings unique expertise and integrates techniques that match your needs and preferences. Whether you want to build coping skills, explore emotional patterns, or work through trauma, your therapist will adapt their approach to support your goals.

Therapists at The Therapy Space also take part in regular supervision, professional development, and peer consultation to ensure they remain aligned with best practices and current research.

When an Ontario-registered psychotherapist provides therapy to a client in Yukon, they remain accountable to the College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario (CRPO). This means they must uphold all CRPO standards of practice related to confidentiality, informed consent, and professional competence.

Therapists also ensure compliance with the Yukon Health Information Privacy and Management Act (HIPMA), which governs how personal health information is collected, stored, and shared.

At The Therapy Space, all sessions take place through Jane App, a secure Canadian telehealth platform that meets PHIPA (Ontario), PIPEDA (federal), and HIPMA (Yukon) privacy standards. This layered protection ensures that your personal information and therapy records remain confidential and safely stored on Canadian servers.

Therapists also share local mental health and wellness resources in Yukon, such as the Mental Wellness and Substance Use Services program and the Yukon Distress and Support Line, ensuring care is integrated and supported within the local context.

Working with an Ontario-registered therapist offers flexibility, expertise, and access to a broader network of professionals trained in specialized modalities.

Key benefits include:

• Accessibility: Attend therapy from your home, office, or even while travelling within the territory.
  
• Flexible scheduling: Book sessions that work best for your routine, including mornings, evenings, or weekends.
  
• Continuity of care: Continue therapy seamlessly even if you move within Yukon or across provinces.
  
• Inclusive and affirming care: The Therapy Space offers culturally responsive and inclusive services for diverse communities including Indigenous, BIPOC, LGBTQIA2S+, and neurodivergent clients.
  
• Specialized expertise: Access therapists trained in trauma, relationship therapy, mindfulness, and emotional regulation.
  

Online therapy makes mental health care more accessible and sustainable, particularly in regions where in-person services may be limited or hard to reach.

Yes. Studies consistently show that online therapy is equally effective as in-person therapy for most mental health concerns, including anxiety, depression, and trauma. Many clients even find that meeting online helps them feel more comfortable, as they can connect from familiar and private spaces.

At The Therapy Space, therapists adapt their methods to the online format using interactive and experiential tools such as mindfulness practices, guided breathing, and screen-shared exercises. These help maintain focus, engagement, and connection throughout the session.

Virtual therapy also allows for consistency. You can attend sessions despite weather changes, travel constraints, or geographic isolation — common challenges across Yukon’s diverse landscape.

Therapists at The Therapy Space draw on a range of approaches, combining them to meet each client’s needs and goals.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT): Focuses on identifying and reframing thought patterns that contribute to distress and unhelpful behaviours.

Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT): Emphasizes mindfulness, emotional regulation, and interpersonal effectiveness.

Internal Family Systems (IFS): Helps clients understand and integrate different internal parts of themselves, fostering self-compassion and internal balance.

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR): Supports trauma processing and recovery through bilateral stimulation.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT): Encourages acceptance of emotions while taking purposeful, values-aligned actions.

Mindfulness-Based and Somatic Therapy: Enhances body awareness, calm, and nervous-system regulation.

Therapists may combine these modalities depending on your goals, allowing for flexibility and personalization in every session.

Coverage depends on your extended health benefits plan. Many insurance providers in Yukon reimburse sessions with a Registered Psychotherapist (RP), although some plans specify Psychologists or Social Workers.

The Therapy Space provides detailed receipts with your therapist’s credentials and registration number for easy submission.

We recommend reviewing your benefits booklet or contacting your insurance provider to confirm coverage. Even when plans differ, many clients find online therapy to be a worthwhile and flexible investment in their emotional well-being.

Privacy and confidentiality are fundamental parts of therapy. All online sessions at The Therapy Space are conducted through Jane App, which uses end-to-end encryption and secure Canadian servers. The platform complies with HIPMA (Yukon), PHIPA (Ontario), and PIPEDA (federal) standards.

Therapists maintain private, professional environments during sessions and guide clients in setting up confidential spaces at home. Using headphones, closing doors, and minimizing background distractions helps create a secure and focused setting for therapy.

With these protections, clients can feel confident that their personal information and sessions remain private and secure.

Therapists at The Therapy Space work with clients across Yukon on a wide range of emotional, relational, and life challenges.

Anxiety and stress: Learn to manage worry, perfectionism, and overwhelm using CBT, ACT, and mindfulness tools.
Depression and low mood: Build structure, motivation, and emotional balance through evidence-based strategies.
Trauma and recovery: Process difficult experiences safely using EMDR, IFS, and somatic techniques that help regulate the nervous system.
Relationships and communication: Strengthen connection, boundaries, and trust in romantic, family, or professional relationships.
Identity and belonging: Explore self-worth, culture, gender, and values in an affirming and reflective space.
Grief, loss, and transitions: Navigate life changes or loss with support and grounding.

Therapy is designed to meet you where you are, offering both structure and flexibility as you work toward meaningful change.

At The Therapy Space, finding your therapist is simple. You can browse detailed profiles to learn about each therapist’s training, areas of focus, and therapeutic style. Each profile includes an introduction so you can get a sense of who they are and how they work.

If you are unsure where to start, you can complete our Get Matched form. By sharing your preferences, goals, and schedule, we can recommend therapists whose expertise aligns with your needs.

You can also book a free consultation to ensure comfort and compatibility before beginning ongoing sessions. Therapy works best when you feel safe, supported, and connected to your therapist.

The first session is an opportunity to begin building connection and understanding. Your therapist will review confidentiality, structure, and what to expect from future sessions.

You’ll be invited to share what brought you to therapy, what feels most challenging, and what you hope to achieve. There’s no pressure to go into detail or have everything figured out — therapy unfolds at your pace.

Many clients describe their first session as a mix of relief and curiosity — relief at having a safe place to talk and curiosity about how the process will help them move forward. By the end, you’ll likely feel more grounded and supported, with a clearer sense of direction.

At The Therapy Space, we believe therapy should feel steady, human, and authentic. We prioritize relationship, curiosity, and care over quick solutions.

Our therapists bring both professional expertise and presence, using trauma-informed and evidence-based methods while meeting you with empathy and respect. Sessions are collaborative and flexible, designed to reflect your unique story and pace.

We value accessibility and inclusion. Whether you live in Whitehorse or a remote Yukon community, therapy is available to you — consistent, confidential, and supportive.

At The Therapy Space, our goal is to make therapy a place where you can slow down, gain clarity, and reconnect with your sense of self. It’s a space for reflection, learning, and healing — wherever you are in Yukon.
