Our Team

Normand Dæmon, Clinic Owner (Kingsway) / Care Coordinator (Kingsway) / RSW MSW, Psychotherapist

I’m a proud queer person who grew up in Etobicoke and returned to the area as a seasoned clinician with over a decade of experience in the mental health field. I opened the Kingsway location of For Health’s Sake with my Mum as the first franchise site, because I wanted to bring compassionate, whole-person care into our community.

My clinical focus centres on supporting people navigating life with a queer identity, as well as those working through trauma, grief, anxiety, relationship challenges, and the everyday struggles people face. I take an integrative, client-led approach: we assess where you are, build a collaborative plan, and then work together to increase self-awareness, process difficult experiences, and develop practical tools that help you feel more settled, confident, and connected.

I supervise student, pre-licensed, and licensed professionals. Supervision is a core part of how I give back to the field — it helps ensure high-quality, reflective practice across our team and better care for our community. Therapy with me is pragmatic and relational. I aim to create a warm, affirming space where you are seen and heard, and where change is measured in meaningful shifts: less reactivity, clearer boundaries, more fulfilling relationships, and everyday skills you can use outside the therapy room.

On a personal note, I’m a big board game fan and I share my life with my dog Odysseus (Ody for short), who sometimes visits the clinic to spend quiet time with clients. If you’re curious whether we might be a good fit, book a free 20-minute consultation and let’s talk about where you are and what you need.
