Our clinic aims to provide you with ‘Integrative Mental Health’. You may wonder what this means.

At CFIMH, we take a holistic approach to understand your strengths, your challenges and your functioning. We aim to bring our expertise to help you understand yourself better.

We take the standard medical/psychiatric approach to help you, and we also use innovative approaches to enhance your assessment and treatment.

Although modern psychiatric care focuses a lot on brain chemicals (neurotransmitters like Dopamine, Norepinephrine and Serotonin), we also integrate information from your psychological and social functioning to ensure that you get the right help you need.

Our team of psychotherapists (including Social Workers and Registered Psychotherapists) use cognitive behavioural therapy models, as well as strategies from other approaches to help you find the best strategies for you.

We are open to innovative approaches, backed by science, to help you to create the treatment plan that you need to achieve the potential that you want to achieve.

Dr. Handelman’s psychiatric services are covered by OHIP, and the other team member’s services are possibly covered by your extended health insurance.
