About Us
Core Connections Psychology Centre is a psychologist-led private practice providing psychotherapy and assessment services in Newmarket, Collingwood, and virtually across Ontario.
Our practice is grounded in systemic, relational, and attachment-based therapy, with Emotion Focused Therapy (EFT) serving as the foundation of much of our clinical work.
While we support children, adolescents, adults, and families, couples therapy is one of our primary areas of specialization. We are passionate about helping couples strengthen emotional connection, repair attachment injuries, improve communication, and build healthier relationships.
As our practice continues to grow, we're looking for clinicians who share our passion for relationship-focused care and who want to build lasting expertise in couples therapy.
