Counseling
Our counseling services provide individualized psychotherapy for children, teens, adults, and seniors facing mental health challenges. We address anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship issues, and neurodevelopmental conditions using evidence-based modalities like CBT and DBT. Our licensed clinicians create safe, inclusive spaces for clients to develop coping strategies and achieve personal growth.
Diagnostic Testing
We conduct comprehensive psychological and neuropsychological evaluations to identify cognitive, emotional, and behavioral conditions. Our assessments diagnose learning disabilities, ADHD, autism spectrum disorders, traumatic brain injuries, and dementia-related changes. Results inform personalized treatment plans and educational or workplace accommodations for clients across the lifespan.
Medical-Legal Assessments
Our board-certified psychologists provide independent medical evaluations for legal and insurance purposes. These assessments determine catastrophic impairment, treatment reasonableness, and work capacity following accidents or injuries. We offer expert witness testimony and detailed reports for personal injury litigation and insurance claims.
Telehealth Counseling
Secure video and telephone counseling connects Ontario residents with licensed mental health professionals from any location. This service removes geographic barriers for individuals seeking treatment for anxiety, depression, trauma, and other psychological conditions while maintaining strict confidentiality standards.
Psychovocational Assessments
These evaluations analyze cognitive abilities, interests, and skills to guide career development and workplace accommodations. We assess individuals with injuries or disabilities to determine vocational alternatives matching their aptitudes and physical capabilities, supporting return-to-work planning and job satisfaction.

MAJOR SCAM ALERT!!!
THIS PLACE SHOULD BE SHUT DOWN FOR MALPRACTICE!!!! I got properly diagnosed for high-functioning autism, ADHD, etc. ELSEWHERE! Certainly wasted time and a lot of money here. Definitely not a place for anyone who's high-functioning looking for a proper diagnosis since I got misdiagnosed and then in the end after claiming I don't have the disorder they misdiagnosed me with, I had no diagnosis - what a waste of $2700! Actually, they overcharged me for this and charged me $2956.50 instead of just the $2700!! What a scam!! When it came to the mental health portion of the assessment

I have received excellent feedback from clients who I have referred to Brookside. Not only have they been pleased with how competent and professional they are but also how warm and supportive they have been in their healing journeys. Having shared offices with Brookside I know their staff personally and would highly recommend their services.

Starting sessions with Brookside Psychologists is the best decision one can make. They have psychologists as well as psychotherapists. They are straight-forward supportive therapists who get to the heart of the issue, and provide insight to initiate helpful growth, strength and peace of mind going forward. Their kind administrative staff will work with all your needs. You feel a sense of relaxation when walking into their office because it is so nice and well-kept and modern. Highly recommend this place!
