Dr. Leorra Newman, PhD, C.Psych - Psychologist (Supervised Practice)

Dr. Leorra Newman, PhD, C.Psych

Psychologist | Virtual and In-Person
I am a Clinical Psychologist registered for autonomous practice with adults in Ontario. For over a decade, I have provided evidence-based assessment and treatment for a wide range of concerns, including anxiety, insomnia, OCD, stress, trauma, depression, and navigating relationships and life transitions. My approach is grounded in cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) and related approaches such as ACT, DBT, and mindfulness-based therapies. I completed my PhD in Clinical Psychology at Toronto Metropolitan University (formerly Ryerson University) and have trained and worked across several leading hospital settings, including North York General Hospital, Sunnybrook Health Sciences Centre, the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health (CAMH), and the University Health Network. I also provide supervision and training to other clinicians and remain actively engaged in advancing best practices in clinical work. In my work with clients, I aim to create a warm, nonjudgmental, and collaborative space where people feel understood and actively involved in their own care. I take a transparent, skills-focused approach, combining structured, evidence-based strategies with a personalized understanding of each person’s experiences, goals, and what matters most to them. Alongside my clinical work, I’ve held leadership roles in digital mental health, helping to develop and implement evidence-based online CBT programs and quality improvement initiatives at scale. This work reflects and reinforces my commitment to making high-quality, evidence-based treatment more accessible on a wider scale while remaining responsive to individual needs.
