OCATT is a group of independent mental health professionals
OCATT therapists specialize in supporting families whose children have experienced trauma; and in support of first responder and military families. Our centre is focused on meeting your needs for individual, couple and family therapy. In addition, OCATT collaborates with multidisciplinary practitioners to provide holistic approaches to healing.

Our Primary Services
Adoption
Forming a family through adoption is an exciting process that can come with challenges. OCATT therapists use a family-centered approach to celebrate the good and address the challenges experienced by adoptive families.
Attachment
Children are born “wired” to connect with their caregivers. Unfortunately, early experiences of trauma disrupt healthy attachment. OCATT therapists help to address attachment challenges through the use of Dyadic Developmental Psychotherapy (DDP).
Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)
When the stress and anxiety of trauma linger long after danger has passed, a person may be struggling with PTSD or Opersational Stress Injuries (OSI). OCATT therapists are experienced in PTSD and OSI treatment with first responders and others.
Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (FASD)
FASD is complex: it affects executive functioning and mental and physical health. OCATT therapists adapt therapy to meet the needs, and harness the unique strengths, of those struggling because of FASD.
