Adult Psychiatric Consultation across Ontario
Our adult psychiatrist provides consultation-based assessment and treatment recommendations for individuals experiencing anxiety, OCD, and mood-related concerns. A referral from a family doctor or nurse practitioner is required.
At Whole Heart Mental Health & Wellness, psychiatric consultation helps individuals better understand their mental health, clarify diagnosis, and receive evidence-based treatment recommendations, including medication guidance where appropriate. As a consultative service, care is provided in collaboration with your referring provider, who continues ongoing management.
Please note that ADHD assessment and treatment for adults is not provided by our psychiatrist. Adult ADHD services are available through our Nurse Practitioners as a private, fee-based service.
Consultations are available in person virtually across Ontario.
