Clinical Psychology Assessment

Psychology assessment of a client's concerns, personal history, mood, sleep, daily functioning, and coping skills will take place during the first one to two psychology sessions. The assessment consists of a clinical interview and completion of standardized psychological tests. Feedback about the assessment findings and any recommendations for treatment will be shared.  This process will guide the creation of a tailored treatment plan. 

Individual Psychology Sessions 

Psychology sessions are offered to address concerns identified during the assessment.  Clients will be asked to reflect on their goals for therapy at the start of treatment.  Therapy may involve the following:

• emotional support

• strategies to examine and modify any unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviours

• examining relationship patterns

• building awareness of emotional reactions

• psychoeducation

• stress reduction approaches

• relaxation training

• prolonged exposure therapy

• coping skills training

• mindfulness based approaches
