We are so glad you landed here!
Thank you for your interest in psychological services at the Centre for Mental Health Research and Treatment (CMHRT).
The CMHRT is our psychology training clinic at the University of Waterloo. Our therapists and clinicians are graduate students pursuing doctoral degrees in clinical psychology. They are each supervised by a registered psychologist who observes each video-recorded therapy or assessment session.
If you are interested in seeking therapy treatment, please complete our client intake form, and we will be in touch soon.
Unfortunately, we are not accepting referrals for psychoeducational assessments to assess learning and attention at this time. The CMHRT is primarily a treatment centre and we have limited capacity to provide only a few psychoeducational assessments each year as part of masters level clinical skills coursework. We hope to re-open the waitlist in May 2025 to accept referrals for assessments which may be completed in 2026 or later.
The CMHRT can be separated into 3 main categories
