Mental health support without the wait list.
Mental health is primary care. Your family physician is the fastest route to assessment, treatment and referral — and psychiatry joins our clinic in 2027 for care that needs a specialist.
What we help with
- Anxiety, panic attacks and persistent worry
- Depression, low mood and loss of motivation
- Sleep problems and burnout
- Stress related to work, school, caregiving or migration
- ADHD assessment and referral
- Grief, adjustment and life transitions
- Medication review, starting, changing or tapering
How the first visit works
Book a longer appointment and say it is for mental health, so time is set aside. We talk through what has been happening, screen for depression and anxiety, review your physical health and medications, and rule out contributors like thyroid problems or anemia.
Together we choose next steps: counselling referral, medication, lifestyle and sleep work, or a combination. Follow-up is scheduled rather than left to you to chase.
Psychiatry coming in 2027
Psychiatry and additional specialist care join the clinic in 2027, which means complex cases can be seen in-house instead of waiting months for an outside referral. Registered patients will be told first when those appointments open.
Frequently asked questions.
Is mental health care covered by OHIP?
Visits with your family physician, including longer mental health appointments and referrals, are covered. Private counselling and psychotherapy outside the clinic may not be.
Can I get a referral to a psychiatrist?
Yes. We refer where needed now, and psychiatry care joins our clinic in 2027.
What if I am in crisis?
If you are in immediate danger, call 911 or go to the nearest emergency department. Crisis support is also available 24/7 by calling or texting 988.
