Whitby Psychotherapy, Rooted in the Whole Person
Compassionate, mindfulness-based therapy for individuals, couples, and families in Whitby & online
"If your thoughts can make you sick, they can also make you well"
You Are Not Broken
Pause for a moment. Take a breath.
Maybe you're here because something feels heavy, anxiety that won't quiet down, burnout you can't shake, a disconnection you can't quite name, grief, or just a quiet sense that you're becoming someone new and you're not sure who that is yet.
Whatever brought you here, we want you to know: you are not broken. You're a person who's been carrying something, and you're also a person who can put it down, grow past it, and come out the other side more whole than when you started.
We're Mindful Conversations, led by Francesco Kment and a team of eight Registered Psychotherapists, Social Workers, and Certified Counsellors. We meet people where they are, with curiosity, not judgment. No diagnosis handed to you at the door. Just space to slow down, be heard, and start moving forward.
Online across Ontario. In person in Whitby. No referral required.
A Holistic Approach, Mind, Body, and Nervous System
Healing isn't just about talking through what happened. It's holistic, it has to include your mind, your body, and your nervous system, because that's where the whole story actually lives.
Our approach is holistic, understandable, compassionate, and non-judgmental. We won't hand you a checklist. We'll help you understand why your mind and body learned to protect you the way they did, and what it takes to feel safe enough to change.
We draw from CBT, ACT, Internal Family Systems, and somatic and trauma-informed approaches, matched to what you need, not a fixed protocol. Our therapists are registered with the CRPO and hold membership with the CCPA, so the care behind this approach is always held to real clinical standards.
This isn't about managing symptoms. It's about becoming someone who isn't run by them anymore.
The 4x4 Program: Preparation & Integration for Psychedelic-Assisted Work
For clients already on a legal, clinically supervised psychedelic-assisted pathway, we built something few practices offer: the 4x4 Psychedelic Preparation & Integration Program.
Four sessions to prepare. Four sessions to integrate. Individual and group support throughout.
Before the experience, we help you get clear on your intentions and feel grounded going in. After, we help you make sense of what surfaced, and turn insight into something that actually changes how you live. This work grew out of years of research with Heroic Hearts Canada and hands-on experience supporting veterans and first responders through some of the hardest chapters of their lives.
We don't provide or facilitate psychedelic substances. We hold the therapeutic ground around the experience, safety, intention, harm reduction, and integration that lasts.
Not on that path? Our Veterans & First Responders program, addiction recovery support, and 8-Week Mindfulness Therapy Program each offer their own way forward.
Trauma-Informed Care for the People Who Show Up for Everyone Else
We hold specialized space for veterans, first responders, and RCMP working through trauma most people don't talk about. And for couples and groups navigating things that feel too big to face alone.
You've spent a lot of your life holding things together for others. This is where you get to be held.
How to Begin
Book a free consultation. 20–30 minutes, no referral, no pressure. Just a conversation about what's bringing you in.
Get matched. We connect you with a practitioner whose experience actually fits your situation, anxiety, trauma, relationship strain, addiction, or something harder to name.
Start sessions built around your life. 50-minute individual, couples, or group sessions. Online across Ontario or in person in Whitby.
Go deeper, if it's time. Some clients find everything they need in ongoing 1:1 therapy. Others are ready for a structured path, the 4x4 Program, Veterans & First Responders support, addiction recovery, or the 8-Week Mindfulness Therapy Program.
In Association With
Questions Before You Book
Do I need a referral to see a psychotherapist in Ontario?
No. You can book directly with a Registered Psychotherapist or Canadian Certified Counsellor.
What is the 4x4 Psychedelic Preparation & Integration Program?
Our structured framework for clients already pursuing psychedelic experiences through legal, clinical, or medically supervised pathways: four preparation sessions, four integration sessions, individual and group support. Grounded in safety, informed consent, and long-term wellbeing, not in directing or encouraging psychedelic use.
Is psychotherapy covered by insurance?
Coverage depends on your plan and your therapist's designation. Many extended health plans cover Registered Psychotherapists (RPs) or Canadian Certified Counsellors (CCCs). Check your benefits before your free consultation.
Do you offer online and in-person sessions?
Both. Virtual sessions across Ontario, in-person sessions at our Whitby office.
Do you specialize in working with veterans and first responders?
Yes. Several of our practitioners have dedicated experience with trauma-informed care for veterans, police, firefighters, paramedics, and other service professionals working through PTSD, moral injury, or burnout.
What is the 8-Week Mindfulness Therapy Program?
A structured program building emotional regulation, stress tolerance, and self-compassion through weekly guided sessions and take-home practices. Stands alone or runs alongside individual therapy.
