Counselling & Behaviour
A Mental Health Clinic in Toronto
Counselling & Behaviour is a specialized psychotherapy clinic in Toronto supporting children, teens, adults, and families facing a wide range of mental health, developmental, and behavioural challenges. We are known for working with individuals whose needs are often complex and whose experiences don't fit neatly within traditional models of care.
Our practice is grounded in the belief that effective therapy begins with understanding the individual. Rather than applying the same approach to every client, we adapt our work to each person's strengths, needs, communication style, and goals, creating care that is both evidence-informed and practical.
Many of the people we support are neurodivergent or living with disabilities, and our disability-informed perspective influences how we understand behaviour, communication, emotional wellbeing, and participation. At the same time, our approach benefits anyone seeking thoughtful, individualized care that reflects the realities of everyday life.

“When I have students struggling with emotional regulation or disruptive behaviour in class, I recommend this team. Their positive behaviour support planning doesn't just stay theoretical; they help families apply strategies at home and even liaise with teachers and medical professionals when needed.
The progress we’ve seen in some students is measurable, with fewer classroom incidents and more self-confidence.”
