Hi, I am new on the forum, looking for counselor recommendations in the Toronto (Canada) area. This will be primarily for individual counseling (from a BS perspective), but may eventually lead to MC.
Also, does anybody have a positive experience with virtual sessions - I am inclined to believe they will be less effective.

Hi, welcome to SI, bumping your post to the top of the page, not sure if anyone here has a recommended therapist.
My son has used virtual counseling sessions, not for infidelity, but he met his counselor in person a couple of times first to establish a sort of trust between them.
Are you willing to post your story? If you have just found out, MC should be placed on the back burner.

I live in the GTA area. Found an excellent counsellor, female, dealt with infidelity among other things. It was all virtual. Even did EMDR on-line.. I don’t think that I can post who it was on this site.
All I did was goggle EMDR in the GTA area, and then read all of the reviews, until I found one that suited my needs. I wanted someone older, with some years of experience, a few degrees, and had good reviews. Most counsellor will do your first virtual meeting with no charge to see if you are well suited to each other.
The woman I actually wanted had a full case load, and recommend this other woman. I looked at her credentials and decided to try her.
I wanted both talk counselling, and the EMDR.
I hope that this works for you!

Hello annb,
My discovery day was 6 years ago. I didn't want to reconcile but stayed in the marriage for the sake of my two small children. Haven't been really happy all these years despite WW's efforts to assure me she has changed.
Now that the kids are growing up, want to work on my emotions to be happy and stay in the marriage.
Hi Lefty,
Thank you very much.
I learnt that one of my job's perks is free access to a counselor (limited sessions per year of course). So I am going to try that first. I will come back to you if that doesn't work.
