EDify provides psychoeducational assessments, psychotherapy & social skills programs for children, teens & adults in Ontario.

Counselling Therapy

We can provide therapy for any child, teen, adult, or family facing challenges such as ADHD, Autism, anxiety, or depression. You may struggle with emotional regulation, social connection, or feeling misunderstood. Together, we work toward greater self-awareness, resilience, and healthy relationships.

The services are offered both in-person and remotely. We tailor the type of therapy and the approach we take to each individual's situation. Family involvement can greatly improve the process and outcomes of any type of therapy, particularly for children and youth. When you participate fully in therapy, you can learn to think, feel and behave in better, more adaptive ways.

Mental Health Assessments

A mental health assessment identifies individual strengths and challenges, it is designed to better understand your emotional wellbeing and how you are functioning in your day-to-day life.

A mental health assessment can help determine whether you meet criteria for certain diagnoses, such as depression and anxiety disorders, obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and related conditions.

This information can then be used to guide treatment (e.g., therapy, pharmacological treatment by a physician or psychiatrist), and supports that may be most beneficial for you in settings like work or school.
