Walk-in Clinic
Oolagen has partnered with East Metro Youth Service and Yorktown Child & family Centre to create Toronto’s only city wide walk-in counseling service open 5 days a week.*
The clinic is located at 65 Wellesley Street East, Suite 500 and open:
Monday, Thursday and Friday: 9am – 1pm (Last appointment 12 Noon)
Tuesday: 12pm – 8pm (Last appointment 6:30pm)
Wednesday: 3pm – 6pm (Last appointment 5pm)
* Please note clients must arrive no later than one hour prior to the end of the walk-in hours except on Tuesday when the last appointment must arrive at 6:30pm.
The service is provided on a first come first serve basis. End of the day attendance tends to be particularly busy and we regret being unable to guarantee service should there be more clients than available therapists. We invite families to arrive up to one hour prior to the end of walk-in hours. If we need to turn people away, we will make an appointment with them for the next availalbe session at our Walk-In Clinic.
The clinic provides quick access to counselling service for youth 13 to 18 years old and their families. This is an opportunity for immediate problem solving and therapeutic conversations, as well as referral to other services if required. For many a single appointment is enough, although the clinic may be used more than once if necessary.
Parents and caregivers are welcome to attend the clinic on their own. Many caregivers find it beneficial to consult with a therapist without their child. The clinic is not an emergency or crisis service. In case of a crisis, go to your local hospital or if appropriate call the police.
