Pain, whether big or small, can be overwhelming. We all feel it in different areas of our lives, and the suffering can sometimes make us forget our power.

Book Online Soroosh Vafapoor MPACS, MPS, RP Read Full Bio ABOUT WHY WORK WITH THE FRIENDLY PORCH PSYCHOTHERAPY I founded The Friendly Porch Psychotherapy with a simple but powerful belief: we all possess an innate capacity for healing and growth—a deep inner strength that makes us resilient, purposeful, and whole. Sometimes, we just need help accessing it. When I talk about strength, I’m talking about this creative, curious, and compassionate energy we have that springs into action once we allow it to. When we experience suffering—whether big or small—this power can become buried, causing us to live smaller lives than we’re meant to. As your therapist, I help you uncover this inner strength and rediscover joy in your daily life. My passion for psychotherapy comes from personal experience. I know firsthand how transformative it is to have someone in your corner during difficult times—it changed my own life’s trajectory. This understanding shapes how I support my clients, helping them reconnect with their purpose and step into their power. The Friendly Porch Psychotherapy is a welcoming space where you can realign your life with the values that matter to you. AT THE FRIENDLY PORCH PSYCHOTHERAPY, I BUILD OUR THERAPEUTIC WORK ON THREE CORE PRINCIPLES: CREATIVITY & PLAY Through creative exploration and playful engagement in therapy, we open doors to new possibilities and perspectives, helping you reconnect with the world in meaningful ways. NON-JUDGMENT I create a therapeutic environment grounded in deep compassion and absolute non-judgment, where you can speak your truth freely and explore your thoughts without fear. AUTHENTIC EXPRESSION In our therapy sessions, you're encouraged to bring your whole self—emotions, thoughts, and experiences—knowing that authentic expression is the foundation of real transformation. Get Started MY APPROACH HOW MY THERAPY WORKS At The Friendly Porch Psychotherapy, I practice person-centred therapy that empowers you to rebuild confidence, strengthen self-esteem, and rediscover positivity. Get Started GETTING TO KNOW YOU Our therapeutic journey begins with understanding your unique story—your experiences, challenges, and hopes. In these initial sessions, we create a safe, supportive space where you can share openly, building trust that forms the foundation of our work together. DEVELOPING YOUR PATH Through our therapeutic conversations, we identify your core values and goals. Together, we create a personalized approach that draws upon your innate strengths and wisdom, using creative techniques that resonate with your individual needs. WE WALK THE PATH TOGETHER Each therapy session becomes a meaningful step toward positive change. We continuously adapt our approach based on your progress and insights, ensuring you're moving toward the life you envision with greater purpose and authenticity. Get Started THE FRIENDLY PORCH PSYCHOTHERAPY TORONTO FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS What are your fees? My fees vary depending on the type and length of session. Individual in-person or online therapy sessions are $185 for a 50-minute session. Walk and Talk therapy sessions are $185 for a 50-minute session and $220 for a 90-minute session. I also offer sliding scale options for clients who may need financial assistance. Do you accept insurance? I provide a detailed receipt after each session, which you can submit to your insurance provider for psychotherapy services reimbursement. Please check with your provider to confirm coverage. What is your cancellation policy? I require a minimum of 24 hours’ notice for cancellations or rescheduling. You can cancel or reschedule by emailing me directly or through the client portal. Sessions cancelled with less than 24 hours’ notice will be charged the full session fee. I understand that emergencies happen, and I will review individual cases where the fee might be waived. How do I know if therapy is right for me? Therapy can be beneficial to anyone looking to understand themselves better, work through specific challenges, or improve their overall well-being. In our initial sessions, we will explore your goals and determine if my approach aligns with your needs. If it’s not the right fit, I can help you in finding another therapist who might be a better match. How often will I need to attend therapy? The frequency of sessions depends on your individual needs and goals. Typically, clients start with weekly sessions to build momentum and then move to bi-weekly or monthly sessions as they begin noticing positive shifts in their lives or as more understanding about their current life situation begins to emerge.
