PLEASE NOTE: In addition to private practice, Theresa is currently employed by the Durham Catholic District School Board and as such, is not able to take on clients who are students/parents of this school board to prevent conflicts of interest. Every effort is made to maintain appropriate professional boundaries and confidentiality in the client’s best interest but conflicts may arise for fellow employees of DCDSB. If this may pose an issue for you, please consider working with one of our other psychotherapists.
