How We Work
In-Home Services
We provide in-person psychological services (with some virtual services) directly in your home. We are currently visiting Toronto homes as well as homes within a 45 minute drive from Toronto. Ontario homes beyond this distance may be considered on a case-by-case basis - please reach out to inquire.
We completely understand that having a psychologist visit your home may ‘feel’ a bit different - that’s because it is! Typically we go to office buildings to see professionals in their office space. At Home Sweet Home Psychology, we believe that kids and families are most comfortable in their own homes. It also makes our services more convenient for busy families!
All that being said, welcoming a psychologist into your home is different than having a friend or houseguest over. So here are some guidelines to help everyone understand what to expect.
