Because Mental Health Matters
Navigating your mental health can be complex and overwhelming. Let our expert clinicians guide you on the first, most critical steps towards a healthier you. Mental health matters, and we are here to help.
New Intake Process
We’ve streamlined our Intake process to make accessing treatment easier for new clients. In most cases now, new clients will be sent directly to their requested service after completing a quick screener.
Effective treatment means providing the right treatment, to the right person, at the right time.
We provide evidence-based treatments for a variety of mental health concerns that are tailored to your needs.
General Intake Assessment
Our general intake assessment is designed to learn more about your needs. We collect detailed information about your clinical history and your current challenges and then provide customized treatment recommendations guided by evidence.
Individual Therapy
At the heart of our clinical services is individual therapy. We provide evidence-based psychotherapy virtually and in-person for a variety of mental health concerns. Therapy is delivered by a range of clinicians so that we can best meet your needs.
Youth and Family
Our Youth and Family program provides expert, evidence-based assessment and treatment for individuals aged 12 to 17 either virtually or in-person. Treatment is tailored to unique needs and circumstances of each client and their family
Adult ADHD Assessment
Adult ADHD is currently an area of significant research focus and clinical interest. Our assessment for ADHD will provide you with clear and expert answers to your questions using a comprehensive, evidence-based assessment strategy.
Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) Program
One of the few service providers in Ottawa to offer DBT programming, we combine virtual group DBT therapy with individual therapy by a DBT therapist to help clients control challenging emotions and increase interpersonal effectiveness.
Group Therapy
For many, the support and collaboration of therapy provided in a group setting is an excellent fit for their needs. We provide evidence-based, cost-effective psychotherapy in a virtual group format for ADHD as well as for managing challenging emotions.
Intensive Treatment Program
The standard “once a week” therapy model often underserves the needs of clients with severe and/or complex mental health concerns. Our intensive treatment program allows clients to access a higher dose of evidence-based therapy than is usually available.
DBT Intensive Treatment Program
Where more support than our standard DBT program is needed, we combine our standard DBT program with additional support such as individual coaching sessions, coaching calls, and integration of loved ones (when appropriate).
Stage Two DBT
This service has been designed for clients who have completed our DBT program and who would like ongoing support with respect to consolidation of skills and relapse prevention.
Intensive Assessment and Diagnosis
We offer a range of diagnostic and assessment services to help with a variety of needs including diagnostic clarification, treatment planning and work accommodations.
Community and Home Based Program
We provide accessibility of services across relevant environments, such as your home, community, and actual or simulated work/school setting to help support change where it really counts.
Family Supports
Challenges related to mental illness are a family affair and it is not uncommon for more than one member of a family system to require help. We have created a variety of services to help families navigate these challenges.
Experience and Expertise You Can Trust
Our therapists have expertise and experience in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and related approaches. We help our clients identify and overcome obstacles that are interfering with their goals and well-being.
Most of our therapists have been involved in hospital-based practice and all have in-depth training in evidence-based treatments. Importantly, where indicated, we offer services that go beyond the standard “once-a-week” therapy model.
Bringing Together the Resources You Need
We know the mental health landscape can be challenging to navigate. In addition, it can be difficult to know what and who to trust among the huge number of offerings available.
To complement the services we offer, we have curated a list of recommended websites, self-help books and apps that we feel offer value for clients around addressing their mental health concerns. Please note this list is not exhaustive and there are certainly great resources out there we have not covered.
