Psychological Assessments
Our comprehensive psychological assessments evaluate cognitive, emotional, and behavioral functioning for personal injury claims, disability determinations, and immigration purposes. Conducted by registered psychologists, these assessments provide detailed diagnostic insights and tailored recommendations. Serving Toronto and surrounding areas, we ensure accurate, legally compliant reports for medical, legal, or vocational contexts.
Anxiety Therapy
Specialized therapy addresses anxiety disorders through evidence-based techniques like CBT and mindfulness. Our clinicians help clients manage symptoms related to generalized anxiety, panic attacks, and phobias. Toronto residents receive personalized treatment plans focusing on long-term coping strategies and emotional regulation in a supportive therapeutic environment.
Trauma Therapy
Trauma-informed care supports individuals recovering from PTSD, abuse, or life-altering events. Using EMDR and somatic therapies, we help clients process traumatic memories safely. Our Toronto practice emphasizes creating stability and restoring emotional well-being through compassionate, phased treatment approaches tailored to each person's resilience.

Evidence-based couples therapy improves communication and conflict resolution for partners facing relationship challenges. Our therapists address intimacy issues, parenting conflicts, and life transitions. Toronto couples receive structured sessions focusing on rebuilding trust, enhancing emotional connection, and developing collaborative problem-solving skills in a neutral, supportive setting.

Horrible intake receptionist. Took me some time to build up the courage to call the office as I had found their website and was confident in the possible services. The man on the phone was too focused on correcting my terminology during the call rather than the statement "I am interested in your counselling services". Usually I wouldn't care but this person is an employee for mental health services, how you act on the phone during first contact is crucial. I have 2 clinically diagnosed anxiety disorders and it took me a lot for me to call and the man caused me to have a panic attack. Such a horrible

Dr. Pilowsky has helped me and others of the community. The psychologists have tremendous experience working in clinical and rehabilitation psychology. I was helped when I really needed vocation assessment to find which employment is most suitable for this my skill and ability level.
