Meet Heart & Mind Therapy
Meet the Heart & Mind Therapy Team in Waterloo
The People Behind Your Care
Therapy may happen one-to-one, but thoughtful care takes a team. Our therapists, client care and operations team work together to make reaching out, finding the right support and beginning therapy feel clear, personal and as simple as possible.
Heart & Mind Therapy provides individual psychotherapy for ages 16+ in Waterloo and virtually across Ontario.
One Team, Different Roles
Support that extends beyond the therapy room.
Our therapists focus on clinical care, while our client care and operations team helps with communication, coordination and the practical systems around your experience.
You do not need to know exactly who to contact or which therapist to choose before reaching out. You can compare our Waterloo therapists or start with what you need and our team can help guide you toward the right next step.
