Core Centre Psychological Services is a trusted psychological practice in Mississauga dedicated to helping children, teens, young adults, and families better understand their strengths, overcome challenges, and reach their full potential. With more than 20 years of experience in school psychology, learning, behaviour, and emotional regulation, we provide professional psychological services grounded in expertise, compassion, and an individualized approach.
Our work focuses on understanding the whole person and recognizing that every child, teenager, and young adult has a unique combination of strengths, abilities, challenges, experiences, and goals. We believe that meaningful support begins with listening, understanding, and providing the right guidance at the right time.
Expertise You Can Trust
Core Centre provides comprehensive psychoeducational assessments, gifted assessments, child therapy, youth counselling, and parent support. Our services are designed to help families gain greater clarity about learning, attention, cognitive abilities, emotional well-being, behaviour, and other factors that can affect a young person's development and success.
Our psychoeducational and gifted assessments are provided exclusively in our Mississauga clinic on a face-to-face, person-to-person basis. This allows our psychologists to conduct individualized assessment activities and direct observation in a professional clinical environment.
Our assessment reports are accepted by public and private school boards and academic institutions across North America. We provide clear findings and practical recommendations that can help parents, students, educators, and other professionals understand a young person's needs and determine appropriate next steps.
Personalized Support for Every Individual
No two people are exactly alike, and neither are their challenges. At Core Centre, we take the time to understand each client's circumstances rather than relying on a one-size-fits-all approach.
Our therapists and psychological professionals support children, teens, and young adults who may be experiencing anxiety, depression, anger, stress, emotional regulation difficulties, self-esteem concerns, family or relationship challenges, and other difficulties associated with growing up and navigating life.
We create a safe, respectful, and non-judgmental environment where clients can feel heard and supported. Through evidence-informed approaches and individualized care, we help clients develop greater self-understanding, healthier coping strategies, confidence, resilience, and the skills needed to manage life's challenges more effectively.
In-Person & Online Care
We understand that accessibility and convenience matter. While psychoeducational and gifted assessments are provided in person at our Mississauga clinic, our other counselling and therapy services can be provided either in person or online.
Online sessions offer a convenient way to access professional support from the privacy of your home or another appropriate location. For those who prefer face-to-face care, our Mississauga clinic provides a comfortable and professional setting for counselling and therapy.
Regardless of how services are delivered, our commitment remains the same: to provide professional, compassionate, confidential, and personalized psychological care.
Supporting Children, Families & Young People
For parents, recognizing that a child is struggling academically, emotionally, socially, or behaviourally can be difficult. It can be equally challenging for teenagers and young adults to understand what they are experiencing or know where to turn for help.
Core Centre provides families with a place to find answers, professional guidance, and practical support. Whether you are seeking an assessment to better understand your child's learning profile, exploring giftedness, or seeking therapy and counselling, we work with you to identify the most appropriate path forward.
Our goal is not simply to identify difficulties. It is to understand the individual behind them, recognize their strengths, and provide meaningful recommendations and support that can make a difference in everyday life.
A Commitment to Quality & Accessibility
We believe that professional psychological services should be accessible, responsive, and focused on the needs of the people we serve. Core Centre strives to maintain short waiting times and timely assessment results, helping families obtain the information and support they need without unnecessary delays.
We are also committed to making care as convenient as possible through flexible service options and online counselling where appropriate. Eligible psychological services may be covered by workplace or extended health benefits, and certain services may qualify as medical expenses for tax purposes. Coverage and eligibility vary, so clients should confirm details with their insurance or benefits provider.
Helping You Move Forward
At Core Centre, we see psychological care as a partnership. We work alongside children, young people, parents, and families to better understand challenges, recognize strengths, develop practical strategies, and create positive change.
Whether you are looking for a psychoeducational assessment, gifted assessment, child therapy, youth counselling, or parent support in Mississauga, our experienced team is here to help.
Understanding is often the first step toward meaningful change. At Core Centre, we are here to help you take that step.
