While we are very excited that you’re looking to work with our amazing clinical team, please know that therapy services for Winter 2024 are near capacity. If you are new to CA&STC, please book a “not yet a client” phone appointment below to discuss how to be added to the waitlist and what to do while you’re waiting for services.*

Please know: early morning and after school appointments during the school year are in highest demand; typically a family new to our Centre will be offered daytime availability before an early morning or after school time will be available. We do not offer weekend or evening sessions.

If you’re an existing client looking to book with your clinician, email or call Jess at the front desk.
