How we work here at Lawson Collab is you would need to become a client first, then book at least one (1) full 50-minute session with our psychologist for background and history taking. From there, if our psychologist determines that a referral over to our staff psychiatrist is beneficial or necessary, we will do so at that time.

Our staff psychiatrist aims to see clients within 2 weeks of receiving a faxed referral letter from your family doctor.

Yes we do!
