Dr. Destun and her associates deal with a wide range of issues affecting individuals and couples.  Some of the psychologists in the practice see children, while others work exclusively with adults and couples.

Common issues in individual therapy include depression, anxiety, self-esteem, panic, performance anxiety, perfectionism, stress management, interpersonal difficulties, posttraumatic stress, and chronic pain and disability. 

Common issues in couple therapy include infidelity, communication problems, sexual dysfunction, blended family issues, and healing marital disconnect.

Common issues with children, adolescents and families include anxiety, social problems, reaction to separation/divorce, behaviour management concerns, communications issues, grief and trauma, depression, and attachment disturbances.

No referral is necessary to make an appointment with us; you simply call and leave a message and Dr. Destun will return your call to discuss your appointment options.  Our practice is located in a beautifully restored century building in downtown London.  Dr. Destun works weekdays and some Saturdays, and her associates have both daytime and evening hours.  As a result, we are able to be quite flexible in terms of the timing of appointments.  Appointments are 50 minutes in length.

Many people wonder how many appointments it will take until they start to realize improvement.  It is very hard to answer this question until we’ve had a chance to meet you and learn a bit about your situation.  Generally speaking, we provide both long-term (over one year in duration) as well as shorter-term therapy (12-20 sessions).

Psychologists’ services are not covered by OHIP; however, most extended health care plans will cover some portion of the cost of our services.  You should know that if you have been injured at work and have a WSIB claim, or if you have been injured in an automobile accident, there is a good chance that your services will be covered in full.
