About Discourse Psychology Centre

Our Approach
Grounded in best-practices and guided by ongoing clinical formulation

Treatments use evidence-based approaches, such as Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), Psychodynamic Therapy, and Emotion Focused Therapy (EFT).

At the core of our practice is a collaborative approach and an appreciation of the transformative power of meaningful connection. Our registered psychologists provide virtual care to clients across Ontario, including Mississauga, Oakville, Milton and the Greater Toronto Area.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I begin therapy?

You may submit an inquiry through our Contact page, send an email to admin@discoursepsychology.ca, or call our clinic at 647 – 203 -1468. Once you call, we will schedule a brief consultation with a clinician to determine fit and availability, before scheduling an initial appointment.

At Discourse Psychology Centre, we do not require a physician referral to access our services. Some extended health benefit plans may request a physician referral before they reimburse you for services. 

Psychological services in private practice are not covered by OHIP. However, many extended health insurance plans cover services provided by a Registered Psychologist (C.Psych.) or clinicians operating under the supervision of a Registered Psychologist. Contact your health insurance provider to see if our services will be covered.

All services are provided virtually to clients across Ontario. At Discourse Psychology Centre, we use secure email and encrypted telehealth platforms for all services. These platforms allow us to balance privacy, accessibility and continuity of care.

Options are available for phone appointments as well.
