Nov 9, 2026

The downtown Trenton practice has a team of 12 therapists offering individual, couples, family, child and teen therapy in person and online, with direct billing to major insurers

Trenton, Ontario, Canada, November 9, 2026 -- McKinnon Psychotherapy and Counselling, located at 42 Front St in downtown Trenton, is accepting new clients. The practice has a team of 12 therapists offering individual, couples, family, child and teen therapy, in person in Trenton and online. They serve clients from Trenton, Quinte West, Belleville, Brighton and the surrounding area.

For many people, finding a therapist in Trenton, Quinte West or Belleville means waiting for openings, hoping for the right fit and checking what insurance will cover. A team practice is designed to shorten that search. A new client can be matched with a clinician who suits what they are dealing with, without being sent to another office.

The practice offers a free 15-minute consultation call before a first appointment is booked. Direct billing means many clients do not need to pay the full fee upfront and wait for reimbursement.

"Most people who call us have been thinking about it for a while before they pick up the phone," said Nicole McKinnon, founder of McKinnon Psychotherapy and Counselling. "Our job on that first call is to listen and match them with the therapist who fits, so they're not starting over somewhere else."

Individual therapy at the practice addresses anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, and low self-esteem and confidence. They use evidence-based modalities including psychodynamic approaches, attachment-based therapy, CBT, EMDR, DBT, brainspotting, narrative therapy, internal family systems, solutions focused therapy, and mindfulness. Sessions are available in person at the Front Street office or online.

Couples counselling begins with an 80-minute intake session, followed by 50-minute sessions. Couples can meet with a therapist in person or online.

Family sessions take place in person at the Front Street office and can include parents, children, and other family members.

The practice offers therapy for children and teens, including support for anxiety, low self-esteem and childhood trauma. Parents who are considering therapy for a child or teen can start with the free consultation call to ask questions about the process and how a first session works.

"Parents usually call because something has changed and they can't tell if it's a phase," said McKinnon. "Having individual, couples, family and child therapists under one roof means we can support the whole family when that's what it needs."

McKinnon Psychotherapy and Counselling offers direct billing to Manulife, Canada Life and Medavie Blue Cross. Medavie coverage includes Veterans Affairs Canada and Canadian Armed Forces plans, which require prior approval. That may be relevant for military families in the area around CFB Trenton. The practice's administrative team helps clients confirm their coverage before the first session.

Nicole McKinnon holds a Master of Arts in Counselling Psychology (MACP) and is a Registered Psychotherapist with the College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario. The practice's team includes 12 therapists.

McKinnon Psychotherapy and Counselling is in downtown Trenton, in the City of Quinte West. It serves clients from Trenton, Belleville, Brighton and the wider Quinte region. Belleville residents attend the Trenton office or meet with a therapist online. Early morning, evening and weekend appointments are available depending on the clinician, and online sessions are offered. Anyone looking for a therapist, counselling or psychotherapy in Trenton, Quinte West or Belleville can book a free 15-minute consultation call through the practice's website.

Boatwright set to join Gilas in November FIBA window

Boatwright set to join Gilas in November FIBA window

MANILA, Philippines — Gilas Pilipinas coach Tim Cone is expecting Bennie Boatwright to follow the national team to Kuala Lumpur in Malaysia on November 23, giving him just a few days to integrate with the Philippine squad, which is preparing for the fifth window of the FIBA World Cup 2027 Asian Qualifiers. The American mentor said the 30-year-old Boatwright is still in action with his Chinese Basketball Association squad Fujian Sturgeons, and will only be granted release for the coming November window on Nov. 23. “As of now, his team in China is only releasing him on the 23rd (of November),” said Cone, when contacted by The Manila Times to comment on the former San Miguel Beer import’s status. Gilas is expected to regroup by Nov. 20 onwards as Japan B.League players Dwight Ramos, Kai Sotto, Quentin Millora-Brown, Mike Phillips and AJ Edu, along with Korean Basketball League’s Kevin Quiambao, will be released by their respective teams for the November window. Carl Tamayo, who also plays in the KBL, can’t join though due to an ankle injury. The Philippines will be battling Syria on Nov. 27, followed by perennial Asian powerhouse team Iran on Nov. 30. These will be two crucial games for Gilas Pilipinas, which remains in the hunt for a FIBA World Cup spot, thanks to the national squad’s back-to-back home wins last August against Jordan and Iran at the SM Mall of Asia Arena. Gilas enters the fifth window that will be held in Seremban, about an hour’s drive from Kuala Lumpur, with an even 4-4 record, to occupy fifth spot at Group E. Australia leads Group E with its immaculate 8-0 record, followed by New Zealand (6-2), while Iran and Jordan are tied for third to fourth spots at 5-3. The Boomers have secured a World Cup berth already from the group, with the  two next best squads expected to advance outright. The remaining Asian qualification slot will be contested by the best fourth-placed teams coming from Groups E and F. Cone knows the 6-10 Boatwright has a few days only to understand the Gilas system, and he is unsure how the former USC Trojan could learn things that quick, given the short period of time. ”I really can't be sure at this point. We'll see how he responds,” said Cone. Boatwright currently averages 11.3 points, 6.4 rebounds and 1.1 assists for Fujian, while shooting over 36 percent from three-point distance. He officially became a naturalized player after securing his Philippine passport recently, and now adds to the growing list of naturalized players led by New York Knicks veteran Jordan Clarkson, Justin Brownlee, Ange Kouame and Malick Diouf, who has been assigned to the Gilas 3x3. Brownlee has been carrying the cudgels for Gilas in recent years. He managed to play against New Zealand in Auckland in July, before missing the away game against Australia, as the Samahang Basketbol ng Pilipinas cited “multiple injuries on his right leg and knee.” Cone also recently, announced that the well-loved Gilas naturalized player and Ginebra import, is also dealing with a heart issue, which prevented him from reinforcing the national team in the recent Asian Games in Aichi-Nagoya, Japan.
