After you have referred your patient, our admin team will contact the patient directly with the appointment information. Information about the appointment will also be sent to your office as per the CPSO guidelines.
Who is eligible?
Patients experiencing mood disorders (anxiety, depression, bipolar), OCD, PTSD and psychotic disorders (psychosis, schizophrenia, schizoaffective disorder) seeking mental health and addiction services in Portuguese. Additionally, those with depression, anxiety, insomnia or chronic pain may be referred to the
Integrative Behavioural Group Therapy (IBGT)
.
There is no catchment area for patients who are Portuguese-speaking.
The clinic is unable to provide care to patients already under the care of a psychiatrist or at a facility offering psychiatric services. Nor is it able to provide cognitive assessments, treatment for patients suffering head injuries or individuals seeking referral exclusively for anger management.
Unfortunately, due to limited resources, we cannot accept referrals involving active litigation (including but not limited to MVAs and WSIB), consultations for the purpose of submitting information for immigration-related issues, disability applications or forensic assessments.
Additionally, referrals primarily concerning ADHD, autism spectrum disorder (ASD) or developmental delay will not be accepted. Contact our office if you are unsure as to whether or not a referral is appropriate.
