ABOUT US:

The Growth & Wellness Therapy Centre (GWTC) is an award-winning, warm and supportive health clinic focused on supporting both our clients and clinicians. We strive to keep our team connected and engaged and our team environment is one of the things we take pride in. For our clients we provide a space that feels physically and emotionally safe and comfortable, with clinicians who are empathetic, effective, and dedicated.

Established in 2019, we are a busy private practice clinic in midtown Toronto (Bayview/Eglinton) focused on providing health and wellness support to the community both in person and online. We provide psychotherapy, massage, coaching, reiki, dietitian services, yoga, groups and a practicum program for psychotherapy and social work students. Many of our clients trust us to see to a variety of their individual and family needs, and internal referrals between clinicians and services to promote wrap-around support are common.

Dietitians play a valuable role in the development of whole body nutrition and health, something that is especially important to our team when it comes to clients reaching out for support around issues like disordered eating, somatic experiences of trauma, and chronic pain and illness.
