West Hill Residents Deserve Therapy That's Actually Close By
West Hill sits at the eastern edge of Scarborough — a neighbourhood of families, long-time residents, and a growing number of younger people drawn in by the community feel and the proximity to Highland Creek and Lake Ontario. It's a neighbourhood with roots. It's also a neighbourhood where driving downtown for a therapy appointment isn't realistic for most people's lives.
Andrew Garnet MSW, RSW's practice is right here in Scarborough. West Hill residents are typically at the office in under 15 minutes — no highway, no parking nightmare, no 40-minute commute to Yonge and Bloor. Virtual sessions are also available for anyone who prefers to stay home. He is accepting new clients, with most first sessions within one to two weeks.
Evidence-Based Therapy for Real Life
Anxiety & Worry
The kind that follows you from work to home and makes it hard to switch off. CBT and ACT approaches address the thought patterns and avoidance cycles underneath — not just help you manage the symptoms while they keep building.
Family Stress & Parenting
West Hill families carry what every family carries — financial pressure, parenting challenges, the strain of keeping it all together. Therapy gives parents practical tools and a space to process without the family watching.
Depression
Low energy, loss of interest, going through the motions. Depression in its quieter forms is easy to rationalize — "I'm just tired," "things are fine." Andrew works with clients who've been telling themselves that for too long.
Trauma
EMDR-trained and experienced with both single-incident and complex trauma. Whether it's something that happened recently or something you've been carrying for years, trauma therapy helps your brain fully process what it's been stuck on.
Relationship & Couples Counselling
Individual sessions for people dealing with relationship strain, or couples sessions for partners who want to repair rather than walk away. Both are available, both are effective.
Life Transitions
New job, new city, new baby, empty nest, retirement, loss. Transitions that look positive from the outside can still be destabilizing inside. Therapy provides structure when the ground is shifting.
