Mental Health Services are provided by our mental health staff who assess, diagnose and treat mental health needs.The Clinton Family Health Team counselors are registered mental health professionals who are trained and authorized to practice Psychotherapy. There is no fee for this service as it is covered by OHIP for our registered patients.
Counselors are able to see patients with a wide range of mental health-related problems.
Common reasons for referral to the counselor include:
Learn more about managing symptoms of depression and anxiety: bouncebackontario.ca
Information, strategies, and apps to help manage anxiety: anxietycanada.com/
Online mental health peer support community: togetherall.com/en-ca/
Please speak to your Family Physician or Nurse Practitioner for a referral to the Mental Health Team.
Once a referral has been completed, a person from the Mental Health Team will reach out to you to complete an Intake. This will involve discussing why you would like counseling, assessing if there are other more appropriate resources in the area that could better meet your needs, and potentially offering strategies if appropriate. If you have benefits through work or an Employee Assistance Program we kindly ask that you utilize these services first before seeking counseling from the Clinton Family Health Team counselors.
