I will NOT be accepting new patients for individual psychiatric care in my private practice, at this time. However:

1) Adults interested in daytime MBSR (Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction) can register for the next orientation session to be held at the North York General Hospital, on  Friday January 7, 2010. Sign in at the reception desk (8th floor, Adult Mental Health Outpatient Program) begins at 12:40 pm; the orientation will begin at 1:00 pm sharp, and finish around 4:00 pm. The group sessions will be held on eight consecutive Friday afternoons, from January 14^th  to March 4^th, with an additional all-day silent retreat on Sunday February 20^th (10:00am to 4:00 pm).

Registrants are expected to attend ALL of the 8 sessions AND the all-day retreat. Most of the cost of delivering this program is covered by OHIP and North York General Hospital. A one-time, non-refundable fee ($120) is charged at registration to cover the cost of handouts, phone calls, books and CDs.
