Psychotherapeutic counseling referral service

Psychotherapeutic counseling referral service is to provide accessibility for Koreans who have difficulties with accessing mental health care assistants in Canada. Love Toronto provides a counseling service for your mental health and any types of anxiety disorder such as depression, bipolar disorder, or insomnia you may have.

Certain situations you may feel difficult to manage on your own can also be consulted. For example, stress occurring from seeking a job, studying, or such relationship problems with your partner, children, or co-workers.

Application: You will be assigned to our one of cooperating therapists after applying through the ``Contact Form” on our website.

We connect clients and our cooperating therapists to book an appointment for private counseling. Love Toronto also financially supports a portion of the consultation fees for clients who are financially suffering and have no access to service.

※ We transfer subsidies for consultation directly to our therapists, but there may be additional fee depending on the number of appointments.

Senior Community Services

Love Toronto's Senior Community Services is a free outreach program to support seniors who experience loneliness or social isolation. Through home visits, regular phone calls, and group programs, we provide emotional support, encourage meaningful social engagement, and connect seniors with community resources and services so they can continue living safely, independently, and with confidence.

Our Programs:

Friendly Visiting: Trained volunteers visit seniors on a regular basis to provide companionship and meaningful social interaction. Through friendly conversations and ongoing visits, volunteers offer emotional support, check on each senior's well-being, and help identify any changes in their daily lives. When additional support is needed, seniors can be referred to appropriate community programs and social services.

Phone Reassurance: For seniors who have difficulty going out or have limited opportunities for social interaction, trained volunteers provide regular check-in phone calls. These conversations help reduce feelings of loneliness and social isolation while offering reassurance and emotional support. Volunteers also help identify concerns early and connect seniors with appropriate community resources when needed.

Senior Class: Senior Class is a free group program where older adults can learn, connect, and engage in meaningful activities together. Programs include art, music, cognitive wellness activities, and other group sessions designed to promote wellness physically and mentally. By encouraging social interaction and active participation, Senior Class helps seniors build friendships and foster a sense of belonging.

※ Seniors may apply directly or be referred by community agencies, social workers, healthcare professionals, family members, or friends. Once an application is received, a staff member will contact the applicant to arrange an intake consultation and assessment.

※ All volunteers are carefully screened, trained, and supervised in accordance with Ontario’s legal and ethical standards. We are committed to providing a safe, respectful, and trustworthy service that seniors and their families can rely on.
