Our psychologist may decide to use a series of short tests to help in determining what kinds of services would serve you best.

Referrals can be made by a number of sources. These could include physician, community-helping agencies, Workers' Compensation Board, Integrated Health Services staff, and of course, you are welcome to refer yourself.

Worker's Compensation, Employee Assistance and most extended health care programs provide coverage for psychological services.

No medical referral necessary. However, consultation with your doctor is encouraged by our clinic.
