ABOUT OLD NORTH PSYCHOLOGY

Our practice was founded by Dr. Destun in 2002, and has been operating in the downtown area since that time. We treat adults only, and provide both individual and couple therapy. 

Our passion is providing professional psychological services in an environment that feels more like a home than a clinic. We hire only doctoral-level psychologists who are trained to assess, diagnose, and treat the full range of presenting problems. Our practice is located in a century cottage in the heart of Old North, making the therapeutic environment relaxed and comfortable. 

All of the psychologists in our practice take an integrative approach to therapy, meaning that while we might favour one theoretical framework for understanding and helping our patients, we also recognize that people are typically best served by a flexible approach that pulls from various schools of thought. This enables us to tailor therapy to patients’ needs and wishes, and to adjust as these may change over time. Our team is made up of psychologists with very different areas of interest and experience, and this diverse team is our greatest asset.

Each of the psychologists in the practice has their own unique style and personality. A good therapeutic relationship relies heavily on what we call “fit”, or the degree to which you feel at ease and understood by your psychologist.  By reviewing the biographies of each of our psychologists you may have an initial sense of who might be the best fit for you.
