Our Psychologists, Therapists & Clinicians

Doctoral-level clinicians who diagnose and treat psychological conditions, and who conduct our psychological and neuropsychological assessments.

Trained in psychometric testing, which is how a diagnosis becomes based on measured results rather than impressions.

Trained in psychotherapy and delivering the same therapeutic modalities as our registered psychotherapists, including CBT, EMDR, and trauma-focused approaches. What they add is an understanding of the systems around a person: income supports, housing, family strain, benefits, and community services.

They conduct our Functional Impact and Barriers to Recovery Assessment©, the Mental Health Driving Anxiety Assessment©, and The Quantitative Sleep Assessment©, and complete Ontario Works, ODSP, and CPP Disability documentation.

Specialists in delivering therapy, trained in the talking therapies with trauma-focused modalities including CBT, EMDR, and somatic approaches. Where accident benefits funding does not extend to psychotherapy, our social workers provide the same treatment, so your care is not affected either way.

Many hold additional certification in specific areas such as grief, addiction, or paediatric work.

Nurse practitioners assess, diagnose, prescribe and adjust medication, order diagnostic imaging and laboratory investigations, and complete the medical forms that require a prescriber’s signature. Disability Certificates (OCF-3) are completed by our clinicians.

A genuine advantage in a system where prescribing access is the usual bottleneck.

Assessment and treatment of whiplash, back and neck injury, headaches, reduced mobility, and chronic pain, along with brain injury, concussion, spinal cord injury, and amputation rehabilitation, including our device-based Neuromuscular and Gait Assessment.

They also treat scarring and swelling, including lymphedema management and compression garment prescription through Ontario’s Assistive Devices Program. Physiotherapy can be provided on its own, or alongside the mental health team where you would like the two coordinated, since pain and mood are rarely separate problems.

Nutrition assessment and treatment where injury, jaw pain, medication or low mood has changed how someone eats.

Available from age six, and often the discipline nobody thought to involve until recovery had stalled.

Both provide talk therapy, and for most people the therapy itself feels much the same. The difference is scope of practice. A psychologist is a doctoral-level clinician who can formally diagnose psychological conditions and administer psychometric testing, which is why psychologists conduct our psychological and neuropsychological assessments.

A registered psychotherapist specialises in delivering therapy. They are trained in the same treatment approaches, including CBT, EMDR, and trauma-focused work, but do not perform diagnostic testing.

If you need a diagnosis or a formal assessment report, you will see a psychologist. If you are looking for ongoing therapy, either is appropriate, and psychotherapy is usually available sooner and at a lower hourly cost.

Our social workers are trained in psychotherapy and deliver the same therapeutic modalities as our registered psychotherapists. If you see one for therapy, you are receiving the same standard of clinical treatment.

What they bring in addition is training in the systems around a person. Income supports, housing, benefits, family strain, and community services are all part of their professional scope, so they can address the practical pressures that make recovery harder alongside the therapy itself.

For accident clients this is often the most useful combination, because the paperwork and the funding problems are frequently as distressing as the injury.

Our nurse practitioners can diagnose mental health conditions using the DSM-5, the same diagnostic manual used by psychologists and psychiatrists. They can also prescribe and oversee medication, monitor how you are responding to it, and make adjustments over time.

They work closely with our counselling team, so if medication would help alongside therapy, that conversation can happen here rather than through a separate referral and another wait. Equally, if medication is not needed, they will say so.

In practice this means one team can diagnose, prescribe, and provide therapy, which is unusual outside a hospital setting and often the difference between treatment starting now and treatment starting in six months.

You do not need to decide. Tell us what you are dealing with and we will explain who would suit you best and why.

Coverage can also be a factor. Some extended health plans cover psychology but not psychotherapy, or social work but not both, so we will check your plan before recommending anyone.

Generally yes, because of the level of training involved. Under accident benefits, each profession has its own hourly rate set by the insurer, and we will always tell you what applies before you begin.

Where a diagnosis is not needed, seeing a psychotherapist or social worker means your funding covers considerably more hours of therapy, which for most people matters more than the letters after their clinician’s name.
