Dr Anne McHugh

With over 30 years of dedicated practice in the Kitchener-Waterloo area, I have established myself as a trusted psychologist committed to supporting individuals through life's complex challenges. My practice focuses on providing short-term, individualized counseling and psychotherapy for older adolescents, adults, and the elderly, addressing issues such as anxiety, depression, health-related stress, and relationship difficulties. Drawing from evidence-based approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness, and solution-focused techniques, I prioritize a strength-based philosophy to help clients build resilience and achieve balance. My extensive experience spans rehabilitation, psychiatry, palliative care, and school psychology, ensuring a comprehensive understanding of mental health across diverse contexts.

I also specialize in psycho-educational assessments for children over six years old, identifying learning and attentional challenges to support academic and personal growth. While maintaining a part-time private practice since 1993, I remain committed to ongoing professional development to deliver the most effective, up-to-date care. My office provides a welcoming environment for in-person sessions, with flexible options for telephone and online therapy to accommodate client needs. As a registered psychologist with the College of Psychologists of Ontario, I adhere to the highest standards of ethical practice and client-centered care.
