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 bring expertise across school, clinical and neuropsychological assessment. We provide psychoeducational and learning disability assessments, ADHD assessments and autism assessments for children, adolescents and adults. Our neuropsychologists work with adults and older adults when there are questions about memory, attention, thinking or cognitive change, including changes associated with aging or menopause and baseline cognitive assessment.

Understanding the person, not just the diagnosis

A good assessment is more than a series of tests or a diagnosis. We start with the questions you are hoping to answer and consider the findings in the context of the whole person—their history, strengths, challenges, circumstances and stage of life. Learning, attention, memory, emotions and everyday demands can affect one another, so we look at how the different pieces fit together rather than considering a test score or diagnosis in isolation.

This can be especially important when there are questions about ADHD, autism or learning difficulties, where similar experiences can have different explanations or more than one factor may be contributing.

The psychologist completing your assessment works with you directly throughout the process—from the initial interview and testing through to interpretation, feedback and recommendations.

The goal is to make the findings understandable and useful. An assessment can provide greater self-understanding, clarify treatment or support needs, identify appropriate accommodations at school, university or work, and give you clearer information to advocate for your own or your child’s needs.

Online therapy can make it easier to find the right therapist and fit therapy into your life. Meet from home or another private space, without the time and travel involved in coming to the office.

For people with busy schedules or those living outside Toronto, online therapy can also provide access to a broader range of psychologists and social workers. Whether you’re in the GTA or elsewhere in Ontario, you can choose online therapy when it works better for you.
