At Dalton Associates, we are proud to be Ontario-focused, specialized and deeply invested in the mental health and well-being of our communities as well as those who serve our communities. We provide accessible, clinically effective, and culturally safe psychological and behavioral health services across the province.

Rooted in Ontario, we understand the systems, communities, and realities that shape mental health experiences here. Our team brings localized expertise and a strong provincial network that ensures employees receive timely, relevant, and trusted care – whether they’re in urban centres or remote regions.

With more than 30 years of experience, we go beyond traditional care to deliver customized, population-specific mental health programs.

We are equipped to serve the diverse needs of employees and their families, with:

  • Nearly 90 dedicated staff supporting care delivery, operations, and coordination

  • A provincially vetted roster of regulated mental health professionals

  • A wide-reaching network of independent providers and subject-matter experts

  • Strategic advisory groups who bring occupational and frontline insight and clinical excellence into every program we design

These relationships – carefully built over decades – allow us to scale rapidly and deliver impact at both the individual and organizational level. From real-time clinical interventions to province-wide program rollouts, we bring both depth and agility to the services we deliver.
