Free 15-minute consultation · No referral needed · Seven days a week
Counselling that fits Windsor’s work schedules
Windsor runs on shifts. If you’re rotating between days and afternoons at a plant, crossing to Detroit for work each morning, or picking up weekend shifts in healthcare, a mid-afternoon appointment across town was never realistic. Our sessions run seven days a week from noon to 9pm Pacific time — which is 3pm to midnight here in Ontario — so therapy fits around your rotation instead of competing with it.
TEO Counselling is a virtual practice serving clients across Ontario, and both clinicians who see Windsor clients are registered with Ontario regulators — Mohamad with the College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario, Rola with the Ontario College of Social Workers and Social Service Workers. Because every appointment happens over video, it makes no difference whether you’re in Walkerville, Riverside, South Windsor, Tecumseh, or LaSalle.
Cross-border life carries its own weight: bridge and tunnel delays, retooling cycles and layoff rumours, family spread across two countries. If that mix has left you anxious, exhausted, or short-tempered at home, talking it through with someone who understands the context is a reasonable next step.
Two Ontario-registered clinicians serving Windsor
Mohamad Shabib, MACP, CCC
Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying), CRPO · Canadian Certified Counsellor
Mohamad works with trauma and PTSD using EMDR (EMDRIA-trained) and Internal Family Systems (Levels 1–2), alongside CBT for Trauma and hands-on addictions experience. For couples, he draws on Gottman Method training (Levels 1–2). Sessions in English or Arabic.
Rola Shbib, BSW (Hons), RSW
Registered Social Worker, OCSWSSW · Based in London, Ontario
Rola brings a crisis intervention and suicide-prevention background, an honours degree in thanatology — the study of dying, death, and bereavement — and experience in addictions and mental health. Her counselling is trauma-informed and grounded in grief and loss support, offered in English or Arabic.
Marriage counselling & trauma therapy in Windsor
Marriage & Couples Counselling
Searching for marriage counselling in Windsor usually starts after months of the same argument on repeat. Gottman Method–informed couples work gives that cycle a structure: understanding what the conflict is really about, rebuilding trust where it has been dented, and finding your way back to the same team. Evening video sessions mean neither partner has to leave work early to attend.
Trauma, PTSD & Anxiety
EMDR and IFS offer ways to process what happened without narrating every detail before you’re ready, and CBT-based tools help with the anxiety and stress that pile up in the meantime. You set the pace.
Common questions about counselling in Windsor
How do I find a therapist in Windsor, Ontario?
You can book directly with TEO Counselling — no referral required. Start with a free 15-minute consultation and we’ll help you decide whether Mohamad, a Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying) with the CRPO, or Rola, a Registered Social Worker with the OCSWSSW, is the better fit.
Do you offer marriage counselling in Windsor?
Yes. Mohamad provides Gottman Method–informed couples counselling (Levels 1–2 training) by video for couples across Windsor and Essex County. Couples sessions are $175 per 60-minute session, with evening and weekend times so both partners can actually attend.
Can therapy help with shift work and cross-border job stress?
It can. Rotating shifts, border commutes, and plant retooling cycles are hard on sleep, mood, and relationships. We work on practical coping strategies alongside the deeper patterns, and we schedule around your rotation — not the other way around.
How much does counselling cost in Windsor?
Individual sessions are $150 per 60-minute session and couples sessions are $175 per 60-minute session; a small number of reduced-fee spots are held — if cost is a barrier, mention it during the consultation. You’ll receive a receipt after each session — many extended health plans cover a Registered Psychotherapist, a Canadian Certified Counsellor, or a Registered Social Worker, so check what your plan lists before booking.
Is online therapy as effective as meeting in person?
For most concerns, yes — studies comparing video-based and office-based therapy have found similar results, including for trauma treatment and couples work. What matters most is the fit between you and your therapist, which is exactly what the free consultation is for.
Can I do therapy in Arabic?
Yes. Mohamad offers sessions in Arabic as well as English — a meaningful option for Windsor’s large Arabic-speaking community.

What does marriage counselling in Windsor, Ontario cost?
Marriage counselling in Windsor costs $175 per 60-minute couples session at TEO Counselling, and it begins with a free 15-minute consultation both partners can join.
Couples work is with Mohamad Shabib, MACP, CCC, a Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying) with the CRPO who is trained in the Gottman Method (Levels 1 and 2). The sessions put structure around what usually feels shapeless by the time couples reach out: the argument that repeats with different props, trust that needs repairing after it has been broken, and the slow slide from partners into co-managers of a schedule. Whether you search for marriage counselling, couples therapy, or relationship counselling, it is the same work — and you do not need to be married to book it.
The logistics matter in this city, because so many Windsor couples live on opposite clocks — one partner on afternoons at the plant, the other on days, or one crossing to Detroit before six. Sessions run to midnight Eastern, each of you can join the video call from a different location, and weekend times are regular bookings. Nobody has to leave a shift early to work on the marriage.
You receive a receipt after every session. Many extended health plans reimburse services from a Registered Psychotherapist — if your plan lists that title, ask whether the Qualifying category of Registered Psychotherapist is included, because the plan’s wording is what decides it. Read more about how couples counselling works.
How is psychotherapy regulated in Windsor, Ontario?
Psychotherapy is a regulated profession across Ontario, Windsor included: the College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario (CRPO) governs who may use the Registered Psychotherapist title, and social work is governed by the Ontario College of Social Workers and Social Service Workers (OCSWSSW).
Both clinicians who see Windsor clients hold Ontario registrations you can verify on the colleges’ public registers. Mohamad Shabib, MACP, CCC, holds the Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying) category with the CRPO and is also a Canadian Certified Counsellor with the Canadian Counselling and Psychotherapy Association. Rola Shbib, BSW (Hons), is a Registered Social Worker with the OCSWSSW. In Ontario, the public register — not a website or a directory profile — is the source of truth about who is permitted to practise, and we would rather you check it than take our word for it.
OHIP does not pay for private psychotherapy or counselling, in Windsor or anywhere else in the province. Sessions are paid privately — $150 for a 60-minute individual session, $175 for a couples session, with a small number of reduced-fee spots held if cost is a barrier — and you receive an insurance-ready receipt after each one showing the clinician’s name and registration.
What you share in session is confidential, within limits Ontario clinicians explain before you begin: records can be compelled by a court order or subpoena, and a clinician must act on a serious risk of harm to you or another person, or a suspicion that a child is in need of protection.
