Areas of focus

What We Help With

Therapy can help with a wide range of concerns. These are some of the areas we work with most often, although is not a comprehensive list. If what what you want to work on is not listed here, reach out and we can talk through whether therapy is a good fit.

Anxiety

Support for a range of anxiety concerns, including generalized anxiety, social anxiety, panic attacks, agoraphobia, and specific phobias (such as emetophobia, the fear of vomiting). Treatment draws on CBT, exposure, and acceptance-based strategies, always at a manageable pace.

Depression

Support for symptoms of depression such as low mood, low motivation and energy, difficulty keeping up with everyday self-care like showering or brushing teeth, low self-esteem, and thoughts of suicide or self-harm. Treatment focuses on rebuilding positive and meaningful activity (behavioural activation), working with unhelpful thinking patterns, and strengthening social connection.

OCD

Obsessive-compulsive disorder or OCD, including intrusive thoughts and compulsive behaviours that are hard to stop or interrupt. Treated with evidence-based approaches such as exposure and response prevention (ERP).

Treatment for the effects of trauma and PTSD using trauma-focused, evidence-based therapies. Appropriate for workplace trauma, including first responders and healthcare professionals (such as paramedics, nurses, firefighters, police officers, and doctors), as well as childhood trauma, sexual assault, and experiences of racism or discrimination.

ADHD and autism

Strengths-based support for neurodivergent clients with ADHD, autism, or both. Therapy builds skills for organization, focus, emotion regulation, everyday self-care, managing sensory overstimulation, and social connection. The approach emphasizes personal strengths while addressing the challenges that get in the way of day-to-day functioning.

Substance use

Support for nicotine, alcohol, cannabis, cocaine, and other substance use. Therapy works from both harm-reduction and abstinence approaches, helping clients define their own goals and build practical tools to moderate or reduce use.

Other Areas We Address

Anger issues: Therapy helps clients identify their emotions, build tools to regulate them, and develop more effective, assertive ways of communicating with others.
Stress and burnout: For those carrying high levels of stress, whether from conflict at home, the demands of new parenthood, or burnout at work. Therapy covers self-care strategies, healthy boundaries, relaxation techniques, and communication tools.
Parenting and child behavioural problems: Support for parents in addressing challenges such as child aggression, frequent tantrums, difficulties with school attendance, and more.
Gender, sexuality, and identity: Suntree Wellness is an LGBTQIA2S+ affirming clinic. Therapy offers a safe, non-judgmental space to explore questions of gender, sexuality, and identity, navigate coming out or transitions, and work through the stress that can come from stigma or a lack of acceptance.
And more: It is hard to capture every area of focus in a single list. Reach out to the clinic for more information or to schedule a free consultation.

Our approach

How We Work

Therapy at Suntree Wellness is grounded in evidence-based approaches, drawing on what fits each person rather than applying one method to everyone. The work is rooted primarily in cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) and acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), with dialectical behaviour therapy (DBT)-informed skills for managing intense emotions. Obsessive-compulsive disorder is treated using exposure and response prevention (ERP), and trauma is addressed through trauma-focused approaches including cognitive processing therapy (CPT), prolonged exposure (PE), and trauma-focused CBT (TF-CBT). Your psychologist works with you to decide which approach makes the most sense for your goals.

Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Who do you see for therapy?

Suntree Wellness provides therapy for children, teens, and adults. The best way to find out if it is a good fit is to book a free consultation.

How do I get started?

Contact the clinic by email or phone to arrange a free 15-minute consultation. This is a chance to talk through your concerns and confirm that therapy at Suntree Wellness is the right fit before booking.

Are sessions virtual or in person?

Both options are available and are based on client preference. Many clients choose in-person sessions for child and teens appointments, if they have ADHD, or if they prefer face-to-face communication. Other clients choose virtual sessions for convenience. Research shows that both virtual and in-person sessions are effective in treating concerns. In-person appointments are offered at the Milton office.

How many sessions will I need?

It varies by person and goal. Some concerns are addressed in a focused number of sessions (e.g., 6 to 8 sessions), while others benefit from longer-term work. Treatment for children and specific issues like phobias tend to be shorter, whereas treatment for persistent depression or chronic trauma can be longer-term. This is something your psychologist will discuss with you during your intake appointment.

What should I expect during the intake appointment?

We will review important information from the consent form (such as about confidentiality), give you time to ask questions, and talk about the overview of therapy. Your provider will ask you some background questions including what brings you to the clinic and rule out other possible conditions or challenges. Lastly, your provider will provide preliminary diagnostic impressions and recommended treatment options. You may also be asked to complete some self-report measures.

Do you direct bill insurance?

Suntree Wellness can direct bill most insurance providers. Otherwise, clients receive a detailed invoice to submit to their insurer for reimbursement. Treatment is provided by a psychologist. Coverage for psychological services varies by plan, so it is worth checking your benefits.

Do you offer WSIB-funded therapy?

Yes. Suntree Wellness provides therapy for eligible injured workers through WSIB’s Mental Health Program of Care (MH POC). Eligibility and approval are handled through your WSIB claim, so reach out to the clinic and we can talk through the next steps. The clinic will contact your case manager to coordinate services.

Do I need a referral?
