Our approach emphasizes collaboration amongst a team of helping professionals, caregiver involvement, shared decision-making, and personalized care tailored to your unique needs.

How We Help

We begin with a comprehensive assessment to understand your mental health needs. Based on this assessment, we provide recommendations for a range of evidence-based treatment options, including:

Medications | Psychotherapy | Lifestyle interventions

Our team collaborates with your referring provider to ensure continuity of care and to provide clear, actionable recommendations to support your mental health journey.

Shared Decision-Making

We empower you to make treatment decisions that align with your values and readiness for change.

Team-Based Care

We work closely with therapists within Thrive Together and other clinics to ensure you receive well-rounded support.

What Types of Conditions Can We Help With?

At Thrive Together Mental Wellness Centre, our psychiatrists are highly trained to assist with a variety of mental health concerns, including:

  • Mood Disorders
  • Anxiety Disorders
  • Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD)
  • Tics and Tourette Syndrome
  • Trauma-Related Concerns
  • Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD)

Conditions Outside Our Scope

At this time, we do not provide consultations for the following primary concerns, as they require specialized care that is not currently available within our clinic:

  • Bipolar Disorder
  • Psychosis
  • Eating Disorders
  • Severe Substance Use Disorders
  • Dual Diagnosis (Primary Issues related to Intellectual Disabilities or Moderate to Severe Autism)

 

 

If these concerns are identified during one of our consultations, we will provide recommendations and referrals to other services better equipped to address these needs.

 

 

 

Referral Requirements

We require a referral from a Nurse Practitioner (NP) or Physician who can provide ongoing care. This ensures a seamless transition and continuity of care after your consultation.

Our Referral Process:

Referral Submission

Once we receive your referral, we will ask you to complete electronic forms to gather background information. This step helps us be more efficient and reduces wait times for all patients. It also allows us to be more efficient on the day of your appointment.
"

Care Concierge Review

After receiving your forms, one of our care concierge team members will review the information and schedule your initial appointment.
"

Initial Appointment

Your first appointment may be with one of our nurses or physician assistants. All patients will ultimately be seen by a psychiatrist, either virtually or in-person. The appointment with the psychiatrist may occur either on the same day or a different day.
"

Follow-Up Appointments

In some cases, we may schedule time-limited follow-up appointments to help complete the consultation and provide thorough recommendations.

Questions You May Have

Do You Provide Long-Term Follow-Up?
At this time, we offer consultative care only. This means we provide detailed recommendations back to your primary care provider or referring clinician. In some cases, consultations may involve multiple appointments to ensure a thorough assessment and comprehensive recommendations.
What if I don’t have access to primary care or prefer not to involve my primary care provider in my mental health care?

We collaborate with skilled psychiatric Nurse Practitioners (NPs) who can provide ongoing medication management. Please note that NP care is not currently funded by OHIP and is available only through private pay.

What if my primary care provider has questions about the treatment recommendations?

Our recommendations will include a detailed Medication Plan, where appropriate, specifying several medication options and outlining a titration schedule. If there are questions about the Medication Plan or your response to treatment, your primary care provider can consult with our clinic physicians by requesting an e-consultation or telephone call.
