about our clinic

A Practice Built on Trust, Healing, and Hope

At OCATT, we are a group of registered psychotherapists and occupational therapists who share a commitment to responsive, trauma-informed, and inclusive care.

We know that experiences such as trauma, attachment disruptions, stress, and relational difficulties shape our real-life feelings and experiences. Therapy offers a supportive, relationally-centred space to slow down, make sense of these experiences, and understand their impact.

We take a thoughtful and collaborative approach. Rather than focusing on symptoms and quick solutions, we work with you to understand patterns, build on strengths, and support meaningful change at a pace that meets you where you are.

The Foundations

The Foundations of Our Clinical Approach

Trauma & Attachment Expertise – We specialize in attachment and trauma therapy to help individuals and families build stronger connections, deepen understanding, and foster growth in their relationships.
Play Movement & Sensory Therapy – Children do not always have words for what they feel, and that is okay. We engage with them through play, movement, and sensory experiences that are safe and offer natural connection.
Warm & Compassionate Approach – Our genuine care, kindness, playfulness, and patience create a warm, accepting, and non-judgmental space where you and/or your child can build trust and grow in self-understanding.
Wrap-around Supports for Adults – Our team has diverse skill sets, so we are able to walk alongside adults with trauma-responsive approaches that help you build courage and resilience.
Family-Based Care – You know your child better than anyone. We make sure you are included in the journey because your relationship with your child is at the heart of their healing.
