Our Story.
Connecting people to Care in Ontario.
Dr. Di Battista, Ph.D., C. Psyc. established Psych Connect after spending more than a decade working with people with neurologic conditions. She began to feel that it was easier get follow up care for a head cold than a head injury, and she knew something needed to change.
This inspired her to create Psych Connect, a service dedicated to neuropsychological interventions. She developed a platform to provide care to individuals in Ontario virtually (online), and a unique 'travel to you' service allowing her to bring proven neuropsychological interventions to hospitals, clinics and community settings who may otherwise not have this kind of treatment option available.
The goal of Psych Connect is to connect those in need of cognitive help to trusted, science backed interventions. The most common statement she has received in her time in this field is "I wish someone had helped me sooner" and "I didn't know what to do or where to go". Psych Connect is here to fill those gaps, and to help reduce the burden of searching for help and healing.
