A Collaborative Approach to Psychological Care
Primary care often means managing complex concerns within limited time.
At The Mindful Living Centre (MLC), our goal is to make accessing psychological care easier for both you and your patients.
We combine thoughtful clinical matching, assessment-informed care, evidence-based treatment, and clear communication to help connect each patient with services suited to their presenting concerns, goals, and circumstances.
With patient consent, we can also provide concise clinical summaries at appropriate points in care, helping support continuity between psychological and primary care services.
Why Other Physicians Are Referring to The MLC
Thoughtful Clinical Matching
Our intake team considers presenting concerns, treatment needs, clinician expertise, preferences, location, and other relevant factors when recommending an appropriate clinician.
Assessment-Informed, Evidence-Based Care
Care is informed by psychological science, clinical assessment, and established approaches tailored to the individual patient.
Clear Communication
With patient consent, referring providers can receive concise clinical summaries at appropriate points in assessment or treatment.
A Broad Continuum of Psychological Services
Our multidisciplinary psychology team offers assessment, individual and couples therapy, and specialized services across a range of presenting concerns and stages of life.
Common Reasons to Refer
You may consider a psychological referral when a patient is experiencing:
Trauma or post-traumatic stress
Emotion regulation, anger, or irritability
Substance use or unhealthy behavioural patterns
Eating or body-image concerns
Relationship or family difficulties
Chronic pain or adjustment to health conditions, including peri-menopausal symptoms
Workplace stress, disability, or return-to-work concerns
Attention, learning, or diagnostic clarification needs
Persistent mental health concerns or limited progress with conventional psychotherapy, where consultation regarding specialized treatment options may be appropriate
A referral may also be helpful when symptoms are persistent or complex, initial interventions have not been sufficient, diagnostic clarity would help guide treatment, or your patient is interested in psychological support but unsure where to begin.
Psychological Services Available
Psychological Assessment
Assessment may help with diagnostic clarification, case formulation, treatment recommendations, ADHD, learning concerns, and other clinical questions where appropriate.
Individual Therapy
Evidence-based psychological treatment tailored to each patient’s presenting concerns, goals, preferences, and circumstances. Approaches may include Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), mindfulness-based approaches, and trauma-focused therapies.
Couples Therapy
Evidence-informed support for communication difficulties, recurring conflict, relationship distress, attachment concerns, and other relationship challenges.
Specialized Psychological Services
Our team includes clinicians with focused experience in areas such as trauma, chronic pain, sleep, workplace mental health, sport and performance psychology, and other specialized areas of practice.

The clinician will further assess the patient’s needs and collaboratively develop an appropriate plan for care.
5. We Communicate Back to You
With the patient’s consent, we can provide a concise clinical summary at appropriate points in care, helping support continuity and collaborative care.
Clear, Concise Communication
We recognize that referring providers need useful clinical information—not unnecessarily lengthy reports.
With appropriate patient consent, communication may include relevant information such as
Presenting concerns and clinical impressions
Assessment findings, where applicable
Treatment recommendations
Relevant progress or care considerations
Discharge or follow-up recommendations
Our goal is to provide information that is concise, clinically useful, and appropriate to the patient’s care, while respecting confidentiality and applicable professional and privacy requirements.
