Program Description

Since establishing The CAP Centre in 2008, Drs. Moulton and Chapnik have prioritized training and mentorship. Peer supervision, group supervision, as well as didactic learning opportunities are central to the training model at The CAP Centre. The large team, all working on site, comprised of current Interns, Practicum Students, Psychologists in Supervised Practice with the College of Psychologists of Ontario, Early Career Psychologists, as well as seasoned Registered Psycholgists, offer a depth of consultation and collegiality that is perhaps unique in a private practice setting.

The CAP Centre offers its interns a set of rich and diverse clinical experiences, having establishing itself in York Region as a go-to resource for children, adolescents and their families. As such, The CAP Centre receives an average of twenty new referrals a week, creating a large pool of potential clients of all ages and presentations for trainees to work with, withether through assessement or intervention. Interns will have the opportunity to assess and treat learning, emotional, behavioural, and social-developmental disorders.

The combination of collegiality, depth of experience on the team, rich clinical opportunities, commitment to quality supervision, and deep-seated culture of learning at The CAP Centre has contributed to a truly unique and enriching training environment. We have earned the reputation of being a quality training site and have been fortunate to attract many wonderful clinicians who have provided excellent treatment to clients and have contributed to a dynamic and supportive work environment. 

Please note that The CAP Centre has undergone a CPA Accredition site visit (June, 2022). The site has responded to the Site Visitors' Report and is awaiting a decision from the CPA accredititon committee which is expected to meet during the Fall of 2022. Accreditation is thus not  guaranteed, but is possible.
