Reduced-Cost Therapy
Work in Progress is proud to offer reduced-cost therapy through our practicum student program. When we have training therapists on our team, they are all masters-level students completing their clinical practicum training to advance their skills and become registered psychotherapists or registered social workers. Our training therapists offer reduced rates for virtual and in office work ranging from $50-$100 per individual session, and $75-$125 for relationship therapy. Rates are assessed based on client income as well as other barriers to mental health care. All students are supervised by an experienced member of our team. They bring a unique skillset, have prior experience in the field of mental health, and most of all inject enthusiasm into their work.
Meet our Training Therapists
Danya Lewis
Training Therapist , MA Candidate
Danya works with adults, young adults, and helping professionals navigating a range of challenges, including anxiety, burnout, self-doubt, people-pleasing, identity exploration, grief, life transitions, low mood, and relationship concerns.
Before training as a therapist, Danya began her work as a registered nurse supporting individuals and families through cancer, chronic illness, grief, and life-altering transitions. These experiences continue to inform her work—and they also fuel her commitment to advocacy and to ensuring that healing spaces are accessible, affirming, and empowering—where you feel heard and validated.
Danya's practice is person-centred, trauma-informed, and anti-oppressive, with an emphasis on understanding how identity, lived experience, and systemic factors shape our inner worlds. With a relational and collaborative approach, she draws from emotion-focused, strengths-based, and narrative therapies to support clients in building self-awareness, deepening self-compassion, and moving through life’s difficulties with greater clarity and connection.
Katrina Miller
Training Therapist, MA Candidate
Katrina's approach is interdisciplinary and person-centered. She draws on specialized training in trauma-informed therapy, mindfulness meditation, and somatic practices. She works with teens, adults, and couples facing a wide range of personal and relational challenges. She is deeply committed to culturally responsive therapy, ensuring that the strategies we use align with your life, values, and community.
Katrina may offer Somatic Stress Release practices if you're interested. SSR is a holistic, body-based approach to shifting how we relate to stress. Sometimes stress is good - it energizes us to take action or helps us focus our attention where it is most needed. Yet too much stress seriously impacts our mental and physical well-being. SSR is a holistic mind-body approach to changing our relationship with stress and restoring ease and resilience in our lives.
An SSR session might include:
-
Gentle dialogue to explore how your mind and body are responding to a current challenge
-
Short guided meditation or breathwork
-
Movement practices or grounding techniques
-
Light touch (self-applied or practitioner-guided, with consent)
-
The use of props like blankets, pillows, yoga blocks, or paper
These practices are always adapted to your comfort level and can be integrated into talk therapy or explored on their own. If you're curious about working together, you're welcome to book a free consultation to see if we’re a good fit.
