Health psychology focuses on the integration of physical and psychological health by considering the dynamic ways in which medical, physical, psychological, and socio-cultural factors impact health and illness.

We provide intervention and assessment services aimed at supporting children and youth with various health psychology needs including chronic pain, adjustment to medical diagnosis and prognosis, addressing medical trauma and difficult medical and procedural experiences, targeting symptom interference and supporting re-engagement in academic, social, and family life. Co-occurring mental health needs are also addressed including anxiety and mood. We also provide support for caregivers in the context of caring for a child with medical concerns.

Across psychological services, an empathic, trauma-informed, and developmentally sensitive approach to care is adopted. We have offices located in Downtown Toronto and North York. Virtual services are also available across Toronto, the GTA, and Ontario.
