Finding Clarity in What Matters.

We’re Here to Help

Deeper understanding. Practical ways forward.

At Toronto Psychology Centre, our experienced team includes doctoral-level psychologists and registered social workers providing therapy and psychological assessment for children, adolescents, adults and older adults.

We take time to understand what is happening in your life, what matters to you, and what you would like to change.

We also think carefully about who you work with, considering the expertise, experience and way of working that may best suit your needs.

People come to therapy for many reasons. You may be dealing with anxiety or worry, OCD, trauma or PTSD, depression or low mood, stress and burnout, relationship difficulties, perfectionism or self-criticism, or simply feeling overwhelmed.

You may be looking for support with ADHD, autistic or other neurodivergent experiences, including masking, emotion regulation, organization or relationships. You may also be adjusting to a significant change in life—starting university, becoming a parent, changes in work or relationships, retirement, loss, or changes that come with getting older.

Sometimes there is one clear concern. Often, several things are connected.

We take time to understand what you’re experiencing in the context of your life—your relationships, responsibilities, history and stage of life. The same difficulty can affect people differently, and what helps one person may not be what another person needs.

You may want practical strategies for something that’s getting in the way, a better understanding of yourself and the patterns you keep encountering, support through a difficult period or transition, or simply to feel and function better in everyday life. Therapy can involve one or several of these goals.

Therapy doesn’t have to follow a single approach. What helps can depend on what you’re dealing with, what you hope to change, and what works for you.

Our therapists draw from evidence-based approaches including Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT), Emotion-Focused Therapy (EFT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), Interpersonal Therapy (IPT) and Schema Therapy.

At times, therapy may be practical and focused on changing patterns or developing new ways of coping; at others, it may involve understanding emotions, relationships or experiences more deeply. Often, it includes both.

Some concerns benefit from a more specific treatment. For example, therapy for OCD may include Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) or Inference-Based CBT (I-CBT), while treatment for insomnia may include Cognitive Behaviour Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I).

Across approaches, we consider what research tells us about effective treatment while paying attention to the therapeutic relationship and to you as an individual.

The approach matters, but so does how therapy fits the person receiving it.

Our doctoral-level psychologists provide assessments for children, adolescents, and adults in Toronto and the GTA. With expertise in learning disabilities, ADHD, autism, and neuropsychological assessment, we help match you or your child with a psychologist whose experience is suited to your concerns.

For Children & Adolescents

When a child or teenager experiences difficulties with learning, attention, or development, including concerns about ADHD or autism, an assessment can help clarify potential contributing factors. Whether this is a first assessment or a reassessment, we aim to provide diagnostic clarity, identify strengths and areas needing support, and offer practical recommendations for learning, accommodations, treatment, and everyday life.

For Adults & Older Adults

Whether you’re wondering if you may have ADHD, autism, or a learning disability, or want to better understand challenges you’ve experienced, our assessments can provide diagnostic clarification and insights into how you think, learn, and function. We offer practical recommendations to guide treatment, identify helpful supports, and inform accommodations at school or work when appropriate.

We also offer neuropsychological assessments for older adults seeking to understand changes in memory, thinking, or other cognitive abilities.

Work Directly With Your Psychologist

The same doctoral-level psychologist works with you or your child throughout the assessment, personally conducting the clinical interview and testing, interpreting the findings, and providing feedback and recommendations. This allows your psychologist to integrate firsthand observations with test results and relevant background information.

A Supportive Assessment Experience

We aim to make assessment a positive, respectful experience. We help each person feel comfortable and involved throughout the process, while providing clear explanations of the findings and what they mean.
