About US
Redefining Mental Health Care
We are here to create change.
At McDowall Integrative Psychology & Healthcare, we believe that healing is not one-size-fits-all. For too long, mental health care has neglected the crucial connection between emotional well-being and physical health, treating the mind in isolation.
Our approach challenges traditional boundaries by integrating physical health into mental health care. We know that true wellness is about more than just addressing emotional symptoms — it’s about understanding the full picture of each person’s life. By acknowledging and treating the impact of physical conditions such as chronic pain, fatigue, and stress, we help clients achieve deeper, more sustainable healing.

I recently completed my practicum at McDowall and I have nothing but positive things to say. My practicum experience was the best learning experience of my educational career thus far and I gained significant insights into what it takes to run a successful private practice. The support that I received from fellow psychotherapists and supervisors propelled me to success. Everyone at the practice was willing to lend a helping hand and share experiences that aided them in their journey to becoming registered psychotherapists. Leela-Emma KrishnanTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My practicum placement at McDowall Integrative Psychology & Healthcare (MIPH) was an incredibly enriching experience that played a pivotal role in shaping my growth as a mental health therapist. I had the opportunity to provide therapy to a wide range of clients, including children, adults, and couples, each presenting with diverse mental health concerns such as anxiety, ADHD, depression, emotion dysregulation, and OCD. This exposure allowed me to develop and refine my therapeutic skills across various modalities and client populations, enhancing my self-efficacy in working with complex cases. One of the most valuable aspects of my placement was the consistent weekly supervision and the availability of ad hoc supervision as needed. These sessions provided me with critical guidance, feedback, and the space to reflect on my clinical practice. The supervision not only helped me navigate challenging cases but also fostered a deeper understanding of therapeutic processes, ultimately shaping me into a more self-aware and culturally-competent clinician. Additionally, I gained substantial experience in conducting certain aspects of assessments, including pre-screens and re-assessments for a specific niche of clients. This hands-on exposure developed my ability to gather relevant clinical information, develop case conceptualizations, and evaluate client progress effectively. Beyond clinical practice, one of the standout aspects of my time at McDowall Integrative Psychology & Healthcare was the incredible team spirit. The collaborative and supportive atmosphere made it easy to not only learn from my colleagues, but feel part of a close-knit professional community. I would also like to highlight the admin staff, whose excellent support with client bookings, rescheduling, and cancellations allowed me to focus on therapy without worrying much about logistical concerns. This practicum experience was truly invaluable, not only because it helped me grow professionally but also, because it solidified my desire to continue contributing to this firm. I am currently working as an Associate Therapist at MIPH, and excited to further my journey with such a dedicated and professional team.
