Psychotherapy

Psychotherapy services; providing evidence-based services is important to us. Trained in both individual and group therapy, all our psychologists are primarily trained as CBT therapists (Cognitive Behavioural Therapy), but we generally adopt an eclectic approach, with a strong CBT component that incorporates other approaches such as ACT (Acceptance and Commitment Therapy), brief psychotherapy, and others.  Interventions can be offered in structured or semi-structured psychotherapy sessions.

Mood disorders and depression, anxiety disorders, sexual disorders, adjustment issues, sexual identity and orientation issues, phobias, post-traumatic disorders and ADHD are some of the difficulties that are often a source of psychological distress and can be helped with psychotherapy.

Assessments

Our assessment services provide quality psychological assessments, in either French or English, to address clinical issues or forensic questions. In that clinical role, we complete psychological assessments for comprehensive cognitive assessments, which include cognitive abilities per se, memory, attention and executive functions. Although we do not provide neuropsychological assessments, our comprehensive cognitive assessments are thorough and as such are excellent screenings for various types of neuropsychological impairments. 

In our forensic role, we provide comprehensive risk assessments of physical and/or sexual violence for the Courts, government agencies, referring attorneys and employers. Typically such referrals involve a request to evaluate the risk of violent or sexual recidivism. We also offer risk prediction/risk management assessments and consultations for the school or the workplace.
