Kojo Mintah, Ph.D., C. Psych

Dr. Kojo Mintah is a psychologist registered with the College of Psychologists of Ontario. He works with children and adolescents, and/or their caregiver(s), to treat a range of clinical issues. Among other issues, these include difficulties with anxiety, depression, social functioning and trauma, and difficulties managing ADHD symptoms. Dr. Mintah’s goal is to use only current, evidence-based therapies to address clients’ needs. Dr. Mintah’s process begins with an intake session with a youth or their caregiver(s), to understand their particular concerns. He then seeks to better understand his clients through a brief assessment of their personal strengths and weaknesses. After gaining this understanding of his clients, Dr. Mintah collaborates with them on a treatment plan designed to improve their overall functioning, happiness, and life satisfaction. Dr. Mintah’s therapeutic approach is integrative, drawing on cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), and other evidence-based methods and therapies such as mindfulness-based methods, and dialectical behaviour therapy (DBT). Dr. Mintah has trained in therapy, and in psychoeducational and neuropsychological assessment, across hospital, private practice, and community settings, including at CBT Associates, the Connections Psychology Private Practice, the Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario (CHEO), and the Hospital for Sick Children (Sick Kids Hospital). Dr. Mintah has presented psychology research at over 15 national and international academic conferences. He has published research in the Journal of Personality and Individual Differences, and the Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders. His research has focused generally on the social functioning of youth with autism, ADHD, or head injuries.
