How Our Group Psychotherapy Sessions Work?

Initial Assessment: We start the process at our psychotherapy clinic in Toronto with an assessment by a Psychiatrist or Physiatrist. We determine whether group psychotherapy is the right option for you.

Group Placement: If we find it is suitable, we will place the patient into particular groups based on their presentation. We try to keep groups with patients who are similar in their challenges and who can support each other in their rehabilitation.

Supportive Group Sessions: After that, you can join regular group therapy sessions with others. You will find your peers who are experiencing thought patterns or emotional struggles.

OHIP-Covered Rehabilitation Classes: The program also includes six OHIP-covered group sessions. These mindfulness practice classes focus on helping participants improve their mindset, develop coping skills, and gradually regain confidence in their daily lives.
