About True North Psychological Services
True North Psychological Services first opened its doors in Kentville after being founded by Dr. Mark Johnston in 2013. As a psychiatrist, Dr. Johnston believed in the integration of mental health professionals and wanted to cultivate the connection between psychology and psychiatry. Since opening, True North has expanded to three other locations across Nova Scotia, including New Minas, Kingston, and Halifax. In 2015 we partnered with Boyd and Pick Psychological Services and welcomed Waldegrove Psychological Services to the True North team in 2017. Together we bring compassion, expertise, and a multitude of clinical approaches. We are consistently adding to our multidisciplinary team to deliver well-rounded and holistic therapeutic experiences to our clients. At True North, we are here for you.
The Team
Our dedicated team of professionals come from a variety of backgrounds to deliver a rich and diverse range of practice disciplines. At True North, we believe that the best results reside in long-term healing. Our approach focuses on addressing the root cause of issues in order to provide clients with the right strategies and tools for success.
