New! A Psychotherapy & Psychiatry Collab!

I'm excited to share that I now collaborate with Psychotherapy Matters Virtual Clinic (PMVC), a game-changing service that connects you with a psychiatrist right from your sessions with me. (see my profile on PMVC's website here)

That means no more months-long waitlists just to get a psych med review, and no more re-explaining your entire life story to a stranger who doesn’t get you.
Instead, you get psychiatric support  for assessments, diagnoses, and medication recommendations  in a space where you’re already known and supported.

There are two distinct pathways to access this psychiatric care through JLSTherapy

OHIP-Covered Psychiatric Support

(Diagnosis, Med Reviews, and Treatment Recommendations)

This option is fully OHIP-covered and is ideal if you're navigating mood, anxiety, trauma, or other mental health challenges and want support around:

  • Psychiatric assessments
  • Starting or adjusting medications
  • Therapy recommendations

With your consent, I’ll refer you to PMVC, and we’ll meet together with a psychiatrist over secure video. You won’t have to do it alone, and you won’t be handed off to a disconnected part of the system. I’ll be right there supporting the conversation and your care!

Requirements:

  • You must be physically in Ontario during psychiatry sessions
  • You need an Ontario-based family doctor or NP willing to receive consult notes from PMVC and carry through with recommendations (this can be a walk-in clinic provider)
  • You must be working with me at least biweekly during the collaboration*


ADHD & Autism Assessments (Private Pay)

If you’re specifically seeking an assessment for ADHD, Autism, or BOTH,  this second pathway might be the better fit. This is a paid service, but:

  • It’s often more affordable than many traditional private assessment routes (especially for autism or a combined assessment)
  • It comes with a shorter, more reasonable wait time
  • It’s collaborative. Meaning?  I’ll be involved in the process, and you won’t be flying solo. 

*Our 1:1 sessions continue to be at their regular fee, and my fee remains the same hourly rate during your assessment as I will be in attendance with you.
