Seaglass Psychology

What Seaglass Psychology does

Seaglass Psychology is a sole-proprietor private psychology practice founded in January 2019 in Edmonton, Alberta, and operated by Consuelo Arriagada, M.Ed., RPsych #5150, with one part-time administrative assistant. The practice delivers individual and couples psychotherapy in English and Spanish, with core therapeutic specialties in anxiety, self-worth, trauma, and relationships, delivered from a feminist, multicultural, and intersectional clinical stance using somatic, neurobiologically-informed, and Emotionally Focused Couple Therapy frameworks. Telepsychology is the primary delivery mode, with active licensing in five Canadian provinces/territories (Alberta, Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Quebec, Nunavut) and Chile, plus limited in-person sessions at a single Edmonton office.

The business model is direct-to-consumer pay-as-you-go session billing at $235 CAD per therapeutic hour, with a $100 late-cancellation/no-show fee, a sliding-scale option, and direct billing accepted from six Canadian insurance providers (Alberta Blue Cross, ASEBP, ARTA, Canada Life, Green Shield Canada, Medavie Blue Cross). Beyond core therapy, the practice offers consultation, bilingual psychoeducational content, and a psychologist mentorship/supervision line. Distribution is driven by an SEO-optimized website, an active blog, Instagram and Facebook organic presence, and self-serve online booking through the Owl Practice portal. The practice is bootstrapped, has no external funding or parent entity, and in 2021 booked 926 counselling hours. Structurally, the business is a single-clinician operation whose revenue is capped by the founder's billable capacity, which is the central constraint on scalability.

Emerging players

• Open Path Psychotherapy Collective: Nonprofit network of therapists offering sessions on a reduced sliding-scale fee ($30–$80). Comparable to the sliding-scale option Seaglass already advertises, targeting price-sensitive therapy clients across North America.
• Roamers Therapy: Online therapy practice specializing in relationship, couples, and sex therapy with a culturally inclusive, identity-affirming approach. Closely comparable to Seaglass's couples-therapy and LGBTQIA2S+ inclusive positioning, though Toronto-based rather than Western Canadian.

Direct peers

• Lyra Health: Mental health benefits platform offering video therapy and coaching to employees of client companies. Comparable in delivering evidence-based, video-delivered therapy to adults (including couples), but at enterprise scale via employer contracts rather than solo DTC.
• Octave: Multi-clinician outpatient mental health practice offering individual and couples therapy in-person and virtually. Comparable in therapeutic specialties (anxiety, relationships, trauma) and in building a brand around evidence-based, identity-affirming care.
• Talkspace: US-headquartered online therapy platform with a couples-therapy vertical and broad mental-health coverage. Comparable to Seaglass's direct-to-consumer telepsychology model for individual and couples clients seeking flexible, remote sessions.
• BetterHelp: Large-scale online therapy platform offering video, chat, and phone therapy across Canada and globally. Directly competes with Seaglass for the same telepsychology client segments (anxiety, relationships, self-worth) but at lower price points and broader clinician supply.
• Two Chairs: Hybrid in-person and virtual therapy practice operating multi-clinician clinics plus a strong teletherapy arm in the US. Comparable model combining individual and couples therapy with a tech-enabled matching and booking layer, scaled across multiple clinicians.

Broad incumbents

• Headspace Care (Ginger): Mental health platform combining coaching, therapy, and self-care content under the Headspace brand. Adjacent incumbent that competes for the same anxious / self-worth client segments through employer and consumer channels, with a much broader service portfolio.
• Alma: Therapist directory and practice-management platform that helps independent clinicians accept insurance and run their practices. Provides back-office infrastructure analogous to the Owl Practice portal Seaglass already uses, but with broader insurance-network reach.

Regional players

• Shift Collab: Canadian therapy collective offering online and in-person individual and couples counselling across provinces. Directly comparable as a Canadian telepsychology provider serving overlapping client segments, but operating as a multi-clinician collective rather than solo practice.
