Counselling & Behaviour
A Mental Health Clinic in Toronto
Counselling & Behaviour is a specialized psychotherapy clinic in Toronto supporting children, teens, adults, and families navigating anxiety, emotional overwhelm, burnout, executive functioning challenges, autism, ADHD, disability, and complex mental health concerns.
While we work extensively with bright, neurodivergent individuals whose strengths can hide the extent of their struggles, our services support a wide range of people seeking thoughtful and deeply individualized care.
Our approach bridges psychotherapy with disability-informed support, adapting to how each person thinks, processes, and engages with the world. We focus on understanding what’s driving the difficulty beneath the surface, not just how it presents.
WE UNDERSTAND WHAT OTHERS MISS
OUR APPROACH
At Counselling & Behaviour, we provide evidence-based psychotherapy tailored to the individual. We specialize in the intersection of mental health, neurodivergence, and disability, supporting people across a broad range of emotional, cognitive, communication, and sensory needs.
Our approach is flexible, practical, and focused on understanding the underlying factors driving emotional overwhelm, shutdown, anxiety, and day-to-day functioning difficulties.
ANXIETY, BURNOUT & EMOTIONAL OVERWHELM
Psychotherapy for individuals struggling with chronic stress, anxiety, perfectionism, emotional exhaustion, panic, shutdown, and the pressure of functioning sustainably while overwhelmed.
WHAT WE HELP WITH
PARENTS, FAMILIES & CAREGIVER SUPPORT
Helping families better understand behaviour, reduce conflict, improve emotional regulation, and support independent functioning across home, school, and daily life.
BRIGHT STUDENTS STRUGGLING BENEATH THE SURFACE
Practical support for academically capable students experiencing school avoidance, burnout, emotional dysregulation, social struggles, perfectionism, or a mismatch between ability and functioning.
COMPLEX MENTAL HEALTH & CO-OCCURRING NEEDS
Specialized psychotherapy and emotional support for individuals navigating multiple overlapping emotional, developmental, behavioural, or disability-related diagnoses or challenges.
NEURODIVERGENCE & EXECUTIVE FUNCTIONING
Support for people with autism, ADHD, learning differences, rigidity, emotional regulation challenges, masking, and difficulties with maintaining sustainable day-to-day functioning.
DISABILITY & PERSON-DIRECTED SUPPORT

“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.”
