The clinic provides psychotherapy to individuals, couples and families with the goal of assisting individuals to gain greater insight into their problems, cope more effectively with personal stresses and interpersonal conflicts, and achieve behavioural goals. We strive to provide empirically-supported interventions whenever possible. Typically, therapy services are offered from 8-12 weekly sessions that are 50 minutes in duration. Most psychotherapy services are offered in the form of individual therapy, however, group psychotherapy may be offered depending on the frequency of referrals for particular problems and availability of supervisors. Common concerns we see in the clinic include anxiety disorders, depression, trauma, OCD, perfectionism, and many more.

Cost:$60/session. For clients unable to pay the standard fee, our services can be provided on a sliding scale based on gross family income and number of dependants, and are confirmed when booking the intake session.
