WHO WE ARE
Veritas Psychotherapy and Counselling is a private mental health clinic serving communities across Simcoe County. Veritas provides evidence-based treatment to address a variety of concerns including depression, anxiety, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD), and trauma.
Serving teenagers and adults, Veritas utilizes a variety of therapeutic modalities including psychodynamic, emotion-focused, exposure, and cognitive behavioural therapy. An integrative approach to therapy allows treatment to be tailored to the unique psychological needs of each individual. All services are provided by a registered psychotherapist.
VALUES AND APPROACH
Veritas is Latin for truth, which is a central value in our therapeutic approach. People have a tendency to mask what they are actually experiencing, subscribing instead to behaviour dictated by social norms. Over time, suppressed emotional suffering manifests itself in disorders such as anxiety, explosive anger, panic attacks, addiction, and depression.
While many modern therapies focus on treating surface symptoms, Veritas Psychotherapy and Counselling believes in getting to the root of the suffering to help clients gain insight so that they can truly grow, heal, and flourish.

Explore the benefits of working with a registered psychotherapist:
Counselling and therapy can be used to treat a wide range of mental health conditions, including depression, anxiety, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and relationship issues.
Gain insight and enhance self-awareness
One of the main benefits of therapy is that it can help individuals gain insight into their thoughts, feelings, and behaviours. This can lead to a deeper understanding of themselves, their motivations, maladaptive patterns of behaviour and ultimately, the underlying causes of their problems.
Confidential support
Psychotherapy provides a supportive and confidential environment where individuals can explore and express their thoughts and feelings in a non-judgmental and safe space. This trust is essential for the therapeutic relationship to be effective and for individuals to make progress in their therapy. Additionally, confidentiality protects the privacy of individuals and can help prevent potential harm or negative consequences if sensitive information were to be shared without consent.
Improve coping skills
Therapy can help individuals develop strategies and skills to help them cope with and manage their emotions.
Improving relationships
Through therapy, individuals can learn effective communication skills, boundary-setting, and emotional regulation. They can also gain a better understanding of their own attachment styles and how they may be impacting their relationships. Additionally, therapy can help individuals work through past traumas or emotional injuries that may be affecting their current relationships.
Increase Self-Worth
Many individuals struggle with self-criticism and low self-esteem, causing them to feel unworthy and unmotivated. Therapy provides a safe and supportive environment for individuals to address these challenges and work towards improving their self-worth. Individuals can learn to challenge negative self-perceptions and build resilience.
Empowerment
Therapy provides a unique opportunity for individuals to take control of their lives and live according to their values. By working with a trained therapist, they can gain a deeper understanding of their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, and learn to identify and challenge the limiting beliefs and negative patterns that hold them back. Therapy empowers clients to develop new perspectives, skills, and coping strategies to navigate life’s challenges and achieve their goals.
Personal growth
The ultimate goal of therapy is to help people to work out personal issues in order to reach their full potential and life fulfilling, meaningful lives. Therapy can help individuals identify and work through personal issues that may be holding them back and can aid in achieving personal growth and self-actualization.
