Did you know?
Family physicians are not trained mental health counsellors. They provide medical support to your overall health and well-being.
EXCITING NEWS!
Beginning July 20, 2026, we are launching a new team-based approach for all mental health appointments to give our patients more comprehensive, dedicated care!
Think of it just like our well-baby and diabetic appointments:
1. You’ll meet with a nurse or one of our two social workers first, who will gather updates from you and provide specialized support.
2. You’ll then meet with your physician, who will focus entirely on your medical care and medication management.
By partnering up, we can give you more time, more supportive counselling expertise, and a well-rounded approach to your mental well-being. There is no cost for this!
If you have an upcoming appointment, you may get a call from our nursing team, who will guide you through this seamless new process! If you are already seeing someone for your care outside of the clinic, that’s ok! We will work together to determine if this will still be of benefit to you in your care, and will do what is best for you.
Even better news? We are expanding from 1 social worker 2 days a week to 2 social workers 5 days a week!
This is part of the Interprofessional Primary Care Team initiative funded by the Ontario government.
