Private Mental Health Services for anyone in Ontario
We offer 4 core diagnostic services:
Comprehensive mental health assessment, diagnosis or diagnostic clarification, and initial treatment.
This includes a complete ADHD assessment, including identification of common co-ocurring conditions like anxiety, depression, PTSD or OCD.
A Mini-Psych Evaluation is for individuals who have had a psychological or psychiatric evaluation within the previous five years, and are seeking a follow-up psychiatric assessment, instead of a full, in-depth evaluation
Already have a confirmed psychiatric diagnosis and need ongoing care related to it?
Our NPs can review and adjust your treatment plan for recommended medications and adjustments.
Including medication monitoring and adjustments, care coordination, confirmation of diagnosis and treatment plan reports.
Our specialized Mental Health Nurse Practitioners provide quality, compassionate, and comprehensive mental health services to children (aged 10+), adolescents and adults.
(Adults over the age of 60 may be assessed on a case by case basis).
NPs are part of a collaborative team that includes registered nurses, doctors, social workers and others.
While seeing an NP, you can still see your family doctor, or any other health-care provider.
Our practice specialties include
(but not limited to)
assessment, diagnosis and treatment of:
- Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD)
- Disordered Eating
- Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD)
- Depression & Anxiety Disorders
- Insomnia or other sleep disorders

At Dig a Little Deeper, we set ourselves apart by ensuring that every patient receives specialized, evidence-based mental health care from a provider who truly understands psychiatric conditions.
Our Nurse Practitioner team brings more than five decades of experience in mental health care from across various settings in Ontario, ensuring that you receive top-tier expertise from professionals who understand the unique needs of our community.
We conduct complete psychiatric assessments that go beyond the surface. Unlike other services that focus on assessing just one condition, we conduct a comprehensive assessment of your entire mental health history and presentation, to ensure we address all of your needs.
Our team is experienced, trained and resourced to treat and support individuals and families with ADHD. We offer targeted support and evidence-based treatments tailored to the specific challenges faced by the ADHD community, ensuring that you are not only heard but fully understood.
With us, transparency is key. Including your initial assessment cost, you’ll find our fees fully transparent, on our website. We prioritize continuity of care, which means your treatment doesn’t stop after the first session.
You will continue working with the same NP who completed your assessment, ensuring a seamless and consistent treatment journey.
Mental health is complex, and we believe in the power of collaboration. Our clinic offers the opportunity to coordinate shared follow-up care with the broader DaLD team, including your psychotherapist, counsellor, and/or coach, creating a fully integrated support network around your unique needs.
The relationship you build with your Nurse Practitioner doesn’t end after your assessment.
You’ll have ongoing access to the NP who worked with you to create your treatment plan, ensuring you have the support you need at every stage of your mental health journey.
Book your comprehensive mental health assessment today, because your mental health deserves more than just a generalist approach.
