Trauma-Informed
Mental Health Assessments in Ontario
 

At Making Space Psychotherapy, we offer trauma-informed mental health assessments in Ontario with an experienced independent Nurse Practitioner. (adults, teens and children)

 

Our assessments are designed to look beyond symptoms alone and better understand the full picture of your experiences, history, nervous system, patterns, and mental health concerns.

 

We know that many people spend years trying to understand what is actually going on beneath the surface ... whether that is trauma, ADHD, anxiety, burnout, nervous system dysregulation, dissociation, mood concerns, or overlapping patterns that can sometimes look similar.

 

Our goal is to provide thoughtful diagnostic clarification, meaningful recommendations, and full support on your path forward.

​

​

A Trauma-Informed Approach

Many mental health symptoms can overlap. For example, trauma can sometimes look like ADHD. Anxiety can be connected to nervous system dysregulation. Dissociation, chronic stress, burnout, attachment wounds, or neurodivergence can all impact how someone experiences daily life.

 

Our assessments take a deeper and more nuanced approach by considering:

• your history and lived experiences

• your nervous system and stress responses

• trauma and attachment patterns

• emotional and relational functioning

• current symptoms and challenges

• strengths, coping patterns, and supports

 

We believe meaningful assessment should help you feel more understood!
