Program Description

Psychological & Counselling Services Group (PCSG) is a multi- functional, private practice, psychology and therapy clinic offering a wide range of services including psychological assessment and counselling/psychotherapy.

The aim of the clinic is to provide one-stop, comprehensive psychological services to meet the needs of children, adolescents, adults, couples, and families. The foundation of our clinical practice is client relations. We are committed to client- centered values and place an emphasis on strength, resiliency, and collaboration. Our intent is to provide a full-range psychological and counselling service based on a systemic and lifespan orientation using a variety of evidence-based approaches.

Our main clinic is currently located in downtown Oshawa at 117 King Street East, about 35 minutes away from Toronto. We are housed in the Oshawa Clinic, which is the largest multi-specialty medical group practice in Canada with over 110 physicians. In addition to our main clinic, PCSG also has three other locations. Our Markham Clinic is located at Woodbine Medical Centre, our Ajax clinic is at Rossland Medical Centre, and our Peterborough clinic is at Optimal Health. At this time, residents will be completing their residency from the main clinic in Oshawa with the option of working some days from the Markham and Ajax locations.

PCSG trained its first doctoral psychology resident in 2015 as a non-APPIC member. Since 2018, PCSG has been a Child track partner with the Toronto Area Residency Consortium (TARC), a doctoral clinical psychology residency program accredited by the Canadian Psychological Association (CPA) and the association of Psychology Post-Doctoral and Internship Centers (APPIC). This partnership will be on hiatus for the coming academic year 2023/2024 as we are now a member of APPIC as an independent residency program.

PCSG currently offers two full-time (40 hour per week) residency positions. One position is in the child/adolescent track, and the other is in the adult track.
