Nov 9, 2026
The downtown Trenton practice has a team of 12 therapists offering individual, couples, family, child and teen therapy in person and online, with direct billing to major insurers
Trenton, Ontario, Canada, November 9, 2026 -- McKinnon Psychotherapy and Counselling, located at 42 Front St in downtown Trenton, is accepting new clients. The practice has a team of 12 therapists offering individual, couples, family, child and teen therapy, in person in Trenton and online. They serve clients from Trenton, Quinte West, Belleville, Brighton and the surrounding area.
For many people, finding a therapist in Trenton, Quinte West or Belleville means waiting for openings, hoping for the right fit and checking what insurance will cover. A team practice is designed to shorten that search. A new client can be matched with a clinician who suits what they are dealing with, without being sent to another office.
The practice offers a free 15-minute consultation call before a first appointment is booked. Direct billing means many clients do not need to pay the full fee upfront and wait for reimbursement.
"Most people who call us have been thinking about it for a while before they pick up the phone," said Nicole McKinnon, founder of McKinnon Psychotherapy and Counselling. "Our job on that first call is to listen and match them with the therapist who fits, so they're not starting over somewhere else."
Individual therapy at the practice addresses anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, and low self-esteem and confidence. They use evidence-based modalities including psychodynamic approaches, attachment-based therapy, CBT, EMDR, DBT, brainspotting, narrative therapy, internal family systems, solutions focused therapy, and mindfulness. Sessions are available in person at the Front Street office or online.
Couples counselling begins with an 80-minute intake session, followed by 50-minute sessions. Couples can meet with a therapist in person or online.
Family sessions take place in person at the Front Street office and can include parents, children, and other family members.
The practice offers therapy for children and teens, including support for anxiety, low self-esteem and childhood trauma. Parents who are considering therapy for a child or teen can start with the free consultation call to ask questions about the process and how a first session works.
"Parents usually call because something has changed and they can't tell if it's a phase," said McKinnon. "Having individual, couples, family and child therapists under one roof means we can support the whole family when that's what it needs."
McKinnon Psychotherapy and Counselling offers direct billing to Manulife, Canada Life and Medavie Blue Cross. Medavie coverage includes Veterans Affairs Canada and Canadian Armed Forces plans, which require prior approval. That may be relevant for military families in the area around CFB Trenton. The practice's administrative team helps clients confirm their coverage before the first session.
Nicole McKinnon holds a Master of Arts in Counselling Psychology (MACP) and is a Registered Psychotherapist with the College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario. The practice's team includes 12 therapists.
McKinnon Psychotherapy and Counselling is in downtown Trenton, in the City of Quinte West. It serves clients from Trenton, Belleville, Brighton and the wider Quinte region. Belleville residents attend the Trenton office or meet with a therapist online. Early morning, evening and weekend appointments are available depending on the clinician, and online sessions are offered. Anyone looking for a therapist, counselling or psychotherapy in Trenton, Quinte West or Belleville can book a free 15-minute consultation call through the practice's website.

AI pulls up the civil service ladder to Southeast Asia’s middle class

Unlike the Netherlands, which aims to cut an estimated 25,000 full-time...
