The Anxiety Treatment & Research Clinic's mission is to provide excellence and leadership in evidence based clinical service, education and research for anxiety disorders.
 

OVERVIEW

We offer comprehensive evaluations and proven treatments for anxiety-related conditions. Treatments at the ATRC include both medications and effective psychological treatments. Our interdisciplinary staff is available to consult with your family doctor, psychiatrist and other professionals who are involved in your care.  To be seen in our clinic, a physician referral is required.  Please see the referral section of our website to find out How to Make a Referral.

We see individuals with the following conditions:

- Panic Disorder
- Agoraphobia
- Social Anxiety Disorder
- Obsessive Compulsive Disorder
- Generalized Anxiety Disorder
- Specific Phobias

The good news about anxiety disorders is that they are treatable.  We provide treatments that have been evaluated in many different clinical centres, including the ATRC, and have been found to be effective in the treatment of anxiety disorders.  We also provide monthly "booster groups" for people who have completed our treatment program and want additional support.

The ATRC is committed to providing health care professionals with Teaching and Training in state-of-the-art treatment for anxiety disorders so as to increase the accessibility of treatment options for people with anxiety-related problems.  As such, assessments and treatments are regularly provided by psychology or psychiatry residents and other closely supervised trainees.

We continually evaluate the treatments that we provide, as such in the course of your treatment you may be asked to complete questionnaires or participate in other studies.  Participation in any Research study is completely voluntary.  All studies conducted in our clinic have been approved by the Research Ethics Board at St. Joseph's Healthcare Hamilton.

We carry a full line of books on anxiety disorders and related topics for professionals and self-help.  You can purchase a book from the Outpatient Pharmacy located in the Main Lobby of St. Joseph's Healthcare Hamilton.  You may also find them at the public library, order them online, or from your local bookstore.  See the Bookstore section on this website for a list of books for sale.
