A message from FVB Psychologists:
In the face of the current COVID-19 pandemic, we closed our offices in Brampton and Mississauga on March 16. However, our clinicians are committed to our patients and resolute in our determination not to disrupt the delivery of psychological services. Please contact our office to continue treatment sessions via telephone or using our secure remote software (Jane Software Inc.). Jane is a Canadian, user-friendly video platform that allows you to connect with your treating psychologist/psychological associate and continue psychotherapy.
At FVB Psychologists we will continue to answer the phones, book new and continuing patients, and respond to e-mail.

We provide both assessment and treatment services
Our clinicians are psychologists or psychological associates registered with the College of Psychologists of Ontario. This means we are independent practitioners licenced to assess, diagnose, and treat the full range of psychological disorders ranging from problems in living to serious mental health issues. Our practice also employs psychotherapists who are under the supervision of registered psychologists.
In addition, we are consulting psychologists to the Toronto Police Service, the Peel Regional Police (Safeguarding programme), and a number of airlines including Air Canada and Jazz Aviation LP.
