Building on the success and trusted model of MindSense Australia, the Canadian expansion brings a new standard of compassionate, trauma-informed medico-legal psychiatry and abuse related assessments to legal professionals, insurers, and abuse survivors across the country.
With clinics in Vancouver, Calgary, Toronto, Montreal, and Halifax, as well as telehealth offerings, MindSense is poised to support a wide range of stakeholders across Canada at a place and time that suits them.
A Unique Service in the Canadian Market
At the heart of our work is a deep commitment to trauma-informed care. This means more than just understanding trauma - it means implementing that understanding in every step of our process, from the very first interaction with the MindSense team to the resolution of the case.
Our assessors are highly trained in complex trauma, PTSD, and institutional abuse, and they conduct assessments with a high degree of clinical integrity, respect, and trauma-informed sensitivity.
MindSense Canada provides independent assessments for legal and insurance matters, specializing in complex trauma-related cases including:
- Sexual abuse
- Historical abuse and institutional trauma
- Civil litigation and personal injury claims
- Mental capacity and elder abuse evaluations
- Childhood Trauma evaluations
- Forensic and criminal proceedings
Our team of trauma-informed trained specialists offers clear, evidence-based reports that meet the highest standards of legal reliability, while delivering services with empathy, cultural sensitivity, and clinical expertise.
Setting a New Standard for Trauma-Informed Medical Assessments
MindSense is more than an assessment provider - we’re a leader in trauma-informed care and abuse related trauma. Our nationwide network of experts is trained not just in clinical precision, but in recognizing the emotional weight and legal complexity of every case.
Our services are designed to support:
- Law firms (plaintiff and defence)

- Veterans Affairs and Military legal departments
- Provincial school boards
- Government agencies
- Emergency services (police, fire, paramedics)
- Correctional facilities
Through trauma-informed training, continuing education events, and a robust consultant panel, we aim to elevate the quality and sensitivity of medico-legal psychiatric reporting in Canada.
