Dr. Kojo Mintah is a Registered Psychologist with the College of Psychologists of Ontario. He provides neuropsychological and psychoeducational assessments to children and adolescents, including full autism spectrum disorder (ASD) assessments that are combined with neuropsychological/psychoeducational assessments. He also provides therapy services to youth experiencing anxiety, mood, behavioural, or executive functioning difficulties.
Dr. Mintah’s therapeutic approach draws primarily on cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), but may occasionally incorporate aspects of dialectical behaviour therapy (DBT), mindfulness-based methods, acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), and other evidence-based therapies. His process begins with a brief assessment of his clients’ personal strengths and any challenges they may be facing. With this understanding, Dr. Mintah then collaborates with his clients on a treatment plan designed to improve their overall functioning, happiness, and life satisfaction.
Dr. Mintah obtained his Bachelor’s (Honours) and Master’s (M.A.) degrees in Research Psychology from the University of Toronto and Carleton University, respectively. He then obtained his Doctoral (Ph.D.) degree in Child Clinical Neuropsychology from York University. Dr. Mintah has trained across a variety of settings including hospital, community, and private practice settings including a one-year rotation in neuropsychology at the SickKids hospital in Toronto, and a residency year at CBT Associates. When not at his private practice, Dr. Mintah works as a neuropsychologist at the Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario (CHEO) in Ottawa.
