those who served.

VAC Approved All CAF Branches Direct Billing In-Person & Telehealth

At Center Street Psychology, we understand that the experiences of military service can leave lasting marks — not just on the body, but on the mind, the spirit, and those closest to you. Whether you served in the Canadian Army, Royal Canadian Navy, Royal Canadian Air Force (RCAF), or Canadian Special Operations Forces (CANSOF), our registered psychologists bring specialized training in operational stress injury, PTSD, and the unique challenges of service life and transition.

We provide a welcoming, non-judgmental space where your service is honoured, your experiences are understood, and your healing is the priority. No referral is required, and we handle all billing directly with Veterans Affairs Canada.
