Jonathan Christink
Registered Psychotherapist, BA, BEd, MEd, Registered Psychotherapist
Growing up can be challenging enough in and of itself, but even more so because it doesn't often get the recognition it deserves. As an adult so many of our decisions are filtered through the lens of our life experiences and what we've learned across time. Children and teens do not have this wise guide to inform them through the complex decisions in front of them, so it's no wonder they struggle. If you're looking for a child and/or adolescent therapist I'd be honoured to connect with you and explore our fit further.

While I do not work with youth under the age of 18, our clinic has many child and family therapists who are availability to schedule a free consultation. Since children are often impacted by family dynamics, we often find the most effective way to work with children, ages 6-11, is within the context of family therapy.

Online in Hamilton, ON Ontario
Hamilton is undergoing rapid transformation from a steel city to an emerging arts, tech, and health-sciences hub, and therapists here frequently work with the tension between a proud working-class identity and the changes brought by gentrification and urban renewal. McMaster University and McMaster University Medical Centre — one of Canada's leading health research institutions — provide institutional mental health resources and an active clinical training ecosystem. The city's significant immigrant population from South Asia, the Middle East, and Latin America drives demand for culturally informed and multilingual therapists. Hamilton's affordability relative to Toronto has made it a destination for those priced out of the GTA, and therapists regularly address the adjustment challenges of relocation and community rebuilding.
