ASSESSMENT SERVICES

We provide comprehensive diagnostic and personality assessments to clarify the nature of psychological problems and to recommend treatment. We also provide assessments in relation to motor vehicle accidents (MVAs) and workplace injuries. These assessments focus on identifying the emotional, psychological and functional sequelae of MVAs, including traffic phobia assessments (as a driver, passenger, and/or pedestrian), or of workplace injuries, and their appropriate treatment.

Our psychological assessments provide with DSM-5 diagnosis and when required, determine the relationship between an accident/triggering event, presenting symptoms and resultant impairments. We are committed to completing the assessments and the reports in a timely manner.

Our assessment services include:
ψ Psychological Disability Assessment
ψ Phobia Assessment (Driver, Passenger, Pedestrian)

TREATMENT SERVICES

Individuals experience challenges and setbacks in their lives, which may sometimes feel overwhelming. We view psychotherapy as a process where the client and the therapist work together to develop an understanding of the client’s different issues and develop skills that allow the client to heal and grow and obtain a deeper sense of meaning in life.

We practice evidence-based psychotherapies, which are guided by the most current research relevant to the practice of Clinical Psychology. The model that is most commonly used is Cognitive Behavioural Therapy. When needed, we also integrate treatment components from other therapeutic models including humanistic, psychodynamic, integrative and emotionally focused approaches.

Our treatment services include:
ψ Psychological Treatment – Individual
ψ Psychological Treatment – Couple
ψ Treatment for Driving, Passenger and/or Pedestrian Fear
ψ Stress Management, Anger Management, Relationship Issues

FEES 

Although Ontario Health Insurance Plan (OHIP) does not cover the cost of psychological services currently, most private insurance plans cover services provided by Registered Psychologists. Our fees are consistent with the guidelines suggested by the Ontario Psychological Association. A lower fee than the standard can sometimes be negotiated depending upon one's insurance coverage and financial circumstances.

If you require psychological assessment and/or treatment because of a workplace accident, then Workplace Safety and Insurance Board (WSIB) will pay for the cost of the services rendered. And if you require psychological assessment and/or treatment, because you were injured in a motor vehicle (car) accident, then auto insurance can cover the cost of your treatment.

We ask that you pay at the end of each appointment. We will issue you a receipt that you may use to claim an insurance reimbursement or as an income tax deduction. Payment may be made by cheque or cash. You may claim the fees paid to a Registered Psychologist as a Medical Expense Deduction on your Income Tax Return.

If payment has been pre-authorized by an insurance company or WSIB, then we will bill the those companies (third party) directly, and you are not required to pay at the end of each session.
