Layla Care

Who We Are

Layla Care is a Canadian mental health service that helps people find and connect with the right care through personalized therapist matching based on their needs, preferences, location, and insurance coverage.

Instead of navigating large therapist directories alone, Layla makes the process of finding an in-person or online therapist for anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, emotion regulation, trauma, and other mental health concerns simpler, more personalized and supportive. Layla works with a curated community of 500+ vetted and registered professionals across Ontario, Alberta, British Columbia, and Nova Scotia.

Why Layla is Helpful 

Many people spend months searching for a therapist by scrolling through profiles, reaching out to providers who may not be accepting new clients, and struggling to know who might be the right fit.

Human-Guided Therapist Matching: We don’t just use an algorithm; a dedicated Care Coordinator reviews your unique needs to ensure a strong therapeutic fit.

• Vetted Quality: We accept only ~20% of qualified therapists who apply to our community, ensuring high standards of clinical care.
• Diversity & Inclusion: Our therapist community reflects the diversity of the people we serve. In addition to clinical and logistical fit, Layla can match clients with therapists who are trained in and/or share elements of their lived experience, such as cultural background, geographical lived experience, language, religion, or identities including BIPOC and LGBTQ2S+. This supports deeper understanding and connection in therapy.
• Timely Access: While waitlists can be months long, Layla clients typically start therapy within 1–2 weeks.
• Finding Your Match: Clients receive an average of 2–3 hand-selected therapist profiles with immediate availability. These profiles include a photo, detailed description of who they are, and often a video. You choose who you feel most comfortable with and book your first session.
• Evolving Support: Our team stays in your corner. If your needs change or you’d like to try a different approach, we help you re-match or suggest alternative outside resources.

Layla’s Therapy Services

We guide people to evidence-based care through a diverse community of Registered Psychotherapists (RP), Registered Counselling Therapist (RCT), Registered Social Workers (RSW), Registered Clinical Counsellors (RCC), and Psychologists.

• Individual Therapy: Layla has therapists who support anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship challenges, emotion regulation, stress, burnout, eating disorders,  life transitions, and more.

• Psychological Assessments: Diagnostic assessments for Attention-Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), Mood Disorders (e.g., Depression, Bipolar disorder), Anxiety Disorders (e.g., Panic Disorder, Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder, etc.), Personality disorders including Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) and other presentations.
• Lower-Cost Therapy Program: Alternative to Layla’s main Individual Therapy service, this is a more affordable program offering sessions  with student therapists, supervised by a Masters level clinician for $35/session. This is for individuals with mild to moderate mental health concerns, and is helpful for those looking for therapy at a lower price point. Only available in Ontario and Alberta.
