Mental Health Assessments and Therapy

​

Our experienced Mental Health Occupational Therapists have been formally trained in mental health and cognitive assessments, and conduct direct therapy sessions using a variety of therapeutic approaches.  We help our clients maintain employment or prepare for return to school or work following periods of sub-optimal mental, cognitive and physical health.  Our proven processes are built on building therapeutic relationships with our clients, ensuring timely communication with service funders, collaborating with our client's healthcare team and family, and providing evidenced-based therapy to improve overall functioning and well-being.

Some of the techniques used by our therapists are:

Behavioural Activation

Motivational Interviewing

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)

Dialectical Behavioural Therapy (DBT)

Goal Management Training

Relaxation and Mindfulness

Sensory Regulation Therapy

Trauma Response and Exposure Therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy

Progressive Goal Attainment Program (PGAP)

 

Our occupational therapists specialize in working with clients with neurodiversities, sensory processing issues, chronic pain, trauma, anxiety, depression and other complex conditions that can affect daily function. We help clients align their goals with their core values and provide tools to assist in their journey to improved function and well-being, and can provide both virtual and in-person therapy.
