About Brainworks

Brainworks is a health clinic located in the Old South neighbourhood of London on Ridout St South. The clinic provides client-centred rehabilitation services to a diverse range of individuals and families, including those seeking to optimize mental health, those recovering from serious injuries or trauma, and those navigating developmental services or neuropsychology. They specifically offer support for clients with brain injuries, chronic pain, motor vehicle accidents, work-related injuries, and military duty trauma. The clinic provides a wide array of services including assessments, treatment, and consultations. Their offerings include psychotherapy—utilizing approaches such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), mindfulness, Dialectical Behavioural Therapy (DBT) skills, EMDR, and expressive art techniques—as well as social work services like couples counselling, vocational rehabilitation, and case management. They also offer rehabilitation therapy to help patients regain lost skills, neurorehabilitation therapy to improve cognitive functioning, and speech language services. Additionally, the clinic provides specific support for Canadian Veterans and WSIB clients, handling the intake process for Veterans and offering organized, timely reporting for work-related injury claims. Founded in 2003 by Arden McGregor and Russell Temple, Brainworks was established with a focus on the client rather than the insurer. The business grew through word-of-mouth referrals and expanded into a larger professional office in London in 2005. The clinic describes itself as a collaborative and innovative organization that works alongside physicians, occupational therapists, and physiotherapists. They are active in the community through brain injury awareness campaigns, fundraising, and providing pro bono work for those without funding. Services are delivered through their offices, in the community, in client homes, via mobile clinics, and through video.
