Can you provide a mental health diagnosis, or prescribe medication?

We do not offer diagnostic services, or medical prescription management.

Here are Shift, we offer services with Registered Social Workers (RSWs) and Registered Psychotherapists (RPs). Neither practitioners are permitted to diagnose or prescribe medication.

Only a medical doctor (a family doctor or specialist psychiatrist), or a licensed psychologist can conduct a full mental health assessment and offer the supporting documentation. Of these professionals, only a medical doctor is covered by OHIP and can also prescribe and manage medication.
