Services
Psychological Assessments
Our comprehensive psychological assessments evaluate intellectual abilities, emotional functioning, and personality development. These evidence-based evaluations help diagnose conditions like anxiety, depression, and neurodevelopmental disorders. Our reports include tailored treatment plans to guide effective therapy.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy
CBT addresses interactions between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. We use this evidence-based approach to treat depression, anxiety disorders, and OCD. Our therapists help clients identify and change dysfunctional thinking patterns that affect emotional responses.
Child Play Therapy
Specialized therapy for children aged 2-12 uses play as a communication tool. Our clinicians address behavioral issues, developmental concerns, and emotional challenges through age-appropriate therapeutic techniques in a supportive environment.
Virtual Therapy Sessions
Secure teletherapy sessions provide accessible mental health care. This service offers flexible scheduling for adults and adolescents seeking treatment for anxiety, relationship issues, and stress management from their preferred location.
Psychoeducational Assessments
These assessments evaluate academic abilities and identify learning disabilities. Designed for students of all ages, they provide documentation for educational accommodations and include personalized education plans to support academic success.

Report
Wasted $200 on a "consultation" with Jancy (I see common complaints about her here) where all we were told was that our child cant get therapy or treatment for another two years and in the meantime we should pay for their counselling services. Don't waste your time with these cash grabs, they offer nothing of value. We know our child needs an assessment and treatment, we were told an assessment is pointless. Counselling is offered free at many organizations throughout Toronto (Skylark), if you need real help you wont find it here.
Update: seven months later we got counselling, therapy, and a diagnosis

Hello 2006mimi2007: I've just read your review, which disturbed me greatly. Clearly, we got off on the wrong foot and I would like to meet with you again. I would like to offer you 3-therapy sessions at absolutely no charge whatever. Please call my office at your earliest convenience. I will adjust my schedule as much as I am able to suit your availability. Simply ask to speak to me personally if my schedule is too full.
Sincerely, Jancy
It has been the greatest pleasure of my professional career to offer psychological assessment and counselling services to children, adolescents, adults and couples
