Our Vision

CITC embraces the vision that both cognitive and interpersonal factors play a vital role in psychological health. We believe that meaningful change occurs by addressing the ways you think, how you relate to others, and how you engage with your environment. By targeting these areas, we can help bring about profound improvements in your daily functioning and overall well-being.

We are committed to offering the highest quality care by integrating a range of evidence-based treatments. In addition to cognitive and interpersonal therapies, our clinicians are trained in and may draw from a variety of therapeutic approaches, including but not limited to:

  • Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)
  • Interpersonal Psychotherapy (IPT)

  • Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)
  • Mindfulness-based interventions

What To Expect

Starting therapy can feel like a big step, but we’re here to make the process clear and supportive from the start. Here’s what you can expect:

Screening Assessment

We start with a brief complimentary phone intake to understand your needs and goals.

Therapist Match

Based on your concerns and preferences, we match you with a therapist who’s the right fit.

Initial Assessment

Your first session is about getting to know you, exploring what brings you to therapy, and setting goals and expectations.

Personalized Treatment Plan

Together, you and your therapist will develop a plan tailored to your needs, whether that’s short-term support or longer-term therapy.
