LiveWise Associates Incorporated is a private counselling and consulting firm that was established in 2005 by Augustine Jatoe MSW, RSW.
Almost 1 billion people around the world live with mental health conditions. Canada alone accounts for a fourth of the global burden of depression, addictions, and suicides.
Shockingly, nearly 80% of individuals in need of treatment do not get the care they need.
Due to a combination of poor awareness, stigma, and lack of access to quality care, a person who is struggling with their mental health is lost, lonely, and scared.
At Livewise, we believe that the way mental healthcare is delivered needs a transformation so that the 96% treatment gap can be bridged.
Livewise comes with a promise to make quality mental healthcare available to all those who are seeking it, so they can truly feel better, get better, and stay better.
We have created an integrated mental health ecosystem that offers treatment, care, and support for all kinds of mental health concerns.
Using the experience and expertise of our team of clinical experts, we strive to ensure that each individual can navigate their mental healthcare journey seamlessly and easily.
No matter where you are in your mental health journey, Livewise will meet you there and partner with you.
Augustine is a married husband and father to 3 children. He was born in Ghana, West Africa and lived in London England for more than 8 years before immigrating to Toronto Canada in 1988.
His first memories of wanting to be a therapist came through early observations of his grandmother who was a traditional healer and soothsayer from his father’s village in Upper West Ghana. He made the decision to pursue social work not as a career but as a vocation.
Since entering the social work field in 2002, Augustine has dedicated himself to a client centered approach that views every person receiving his services as unique individuals with a distinct purpose. As a psychotherapist, he is observant, an excellent listener, compassionate, patient, curious, energetic and engaged.
Dedicated to the memory of Mary Kuwarimah Jatoe
