Unfortunately, I left private practice in 2019, and am no longer seeing clients at this time. My apologies. There is the option to find qualified professionals through the Ontario Psychological Association (OPA) at www.psych.on.ca There are two options for finding a professional in your area. 1) under the “find a psychologist” link where there are a number of drop-down boxes and specifiers to narrow the search and 2) under the “ask for help today” link. The website address is www.askforhelptoday.ca
My apologies and I wish you well in finding provider who suits your needs.

I was looking for a new Psychologist and called Dr. Campbell's office. Based on the ratings he has received, I was looking forward to booking an appointment with him. Unfortunately, he never returned my call. Fortunately, I can find other options, but I was very disappointed that he could not be bothered to return an inquiry for an initial appointment.

I’ve seen Dr. Campbell for several years before moving from Markham. He is wonderful. Not only has he taught me a significant amount of tools to cope with anxiety, but his friendly, welcoming, and nice demeanour make him such an incredible support system to coping with anxiety. He truly has made me a better person, and I couldn’t possibly higher accolade his excellence, knowledge, and professionalism.

I have been seeing Dr. Campbell for several years now. He has had a tremendous impact on my personal life--especially helping me to improve my relationships with important people in my life. The other reviews on this site are spot on when they say you will feel genuinely cared for and supported by Dr. Campbell.

Dr. Campbell is the best psychologist I have ever seen. After some poor experiences in the past, i was hesitant to visit him but my personal physician recommeneded him very strongly and now I know why. He is incredibly easy to talk to and we have worked together to manage my issues in such practical ways. Dr. Campbell is extremely professional and clearly has the experience and expertise to help anyone who had the courage to seek help.

Don't waste your time! This man will make moral judgements on your life from a very narrow, unimaginative place and offer nothing of value. I kept waiting for him to ask an insightful question, challenge a blindspot or even guide the conversation in any way but... Nothing. Worst $250 you'll ever spend.

I was disappointed to read that you had an unpleasant experience at my office. I can imagine that speaking to a stranger about personal concerns can be intimidating, and to have a perception of being judged would only make matters worse. I assure you that upsetting people or being unhelpful is not my intention. I realize my approach is not for everyone and I would be happy to help direct you to another professional who might be a better match for your needs. As clinical psychologists are not covered under OHIP I realize that psychotherapy can be a significant financial burden (i.e. the going rate for psychologists in Ontario is currently $225 per hour). Spending money on service that is found to be unhelpful or upsetting is a difficult situation to tolerate for anyone. Moving forward, I will certainly attempt to address concerns mentioned here and try to improve my business practices. I would encourage you to contact me if you would like to discuss the matter further. Given the perceptions of my services noted in the review, I appreciate that contacting me might be something you would prefer to avoid. However, should you decide to contact me I commit to you that I will do my utmost to treat your concerns with care. I would like the opportunity to understand your point of view and learn from our conversation so that I can better help others more effectively in the future.
Sincerely,
Dr. Douglas Campbell

I have seen Dr Campbell for two months. He is nice and warm and respect patients. He first tried to understand my situation, affirmed the right part, then analyzed the off-right part and gave suggestions. After talked him, I understood that I am not perfect but not that bad. I do have some room to improve but I can work on that. His kindness and profession helped me indeed.
Life is always having some matters that you may not be able to solve or get over by yourself. Dr. Campbell is the right one to speak to. He can help you recognize the problem and give advices for the way to go.

I had the worst experience with Dr. Doug Campbell. He did not listen to a word I said, made me feel inadequate and slow. All he talked about was himself and his service career.

Having now worked with Dr. Campbell weekly for the last three months I have an even stronger conviction with respect to this Doctor's efficacy and degree to which he genuinely cares for his patients. During a recent discussion of my on going issues with quality sleep I mentioned the details of a video that had been taken of my snoring. He immediately expressed concerns that I might be suffering from sleep apnea and earnestly encouraged me to have this looked at. Taking the time to explain to me the serious health implications of long term, unaddressed sleep apnea, he motivated me to take this issue seriously. I went home and researched the topic reading a Harvard Medical School study make that stated men with untreated sleep apnea are three times more likely to suffer a serious cardiovascular incident. I stopped reading and made an appointment with my family doctor and get a referral to a sleep study clinic. He further explained the links to depression and weight gain associated with Sleep Apnea. Although my family Doctor had mentioned sleep apnea to me once she was nowhere near as convincing as Dr. Campbell was that this is something I need to have crossed off the list or treated. Although it was not his intent I am now looking for a new Family Doctor that takes advocacy and efficacy as seriously as Doctor Campbell. This man may well have saved my life.
