The North Shore Stress and Anxiety Clinic offers effective help for adults, parents, teens, children, couples, and families. They will help you better understand your problems, develop a treatment plan that meets your needs, and teach you skills to make lasting positive changes. Their diverse team of psychologists and psychiatrists have the compassion, training, and expertise to provide high-quality assessments and therapy that works. They use state of the art cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) and other evidence-based treatment approaches to treat everything from day-to-day stress, anxiety, and low mood to anxiety disorders, clinical depression, and a range of other problems.

The team also conducts psychoeducational assessments and other specialized evaluations (e.g., medical-legal and disability assessments). Their high quality psychoeducational assessments for children, adolescents, and adults are designed to examine potential learning challenges, symptoms of Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), or giftedness and to assist with school and life planning.
