Our goal is to help you find the services that will be the most helpful based on your goals and needs.
Services Offered
Assessment and Diagnosis
A psychological assessment can help you better understand your strengths and needs. Typically, an assessment consists of clinical interviews, standardized measures and questionnaires, observations, and a review of relevant reports and documentation (when available and necessary). Based on the results of the assessment, you will be provided with recommendations and options to help you determine what kind of support you would like to access. A diagnostic psychological assessment is not necessary to access individual psychotherapy sessions, but may be helpful if you are looking for diagnostic clarification and help with treatment planning.
Individual Psychotherapy
Our psychotherapy sessions are designed to help you improve your mental health and well-being. We use evidence-based treatments, such as Cognitive-Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Prolonged Exposure (PE) therapy, Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), and Motivational Interviewing (MI), along with elements of other therapeutic approaches, including Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), Emotion-Focused Therapy (EFT), and mindfulness-based strategies. A collaborative approach is used to understand your unique needs and goals, and to better support you in reaching meaningful change.
Affordable Therapy Options
To support access to mental health supports in our community, we are offering reduced-fee therapy sessions with a clinician working under the clinical supervision of Elisa Richer, M.A., C.Psych. All services are delivered thoughtfully, ethically, and in alignment with the standards of the College of Psychologists and Behaviour Analysts of Ontario. Working with a supervised clinician provides a supportive and collaborative experience in which psychotherapy is guided by a clinician, along with the added perspective and oversight of a registered psychologist. To learn more if this option is a good fit for your needs, please contact ericher@altapsychology.ca.
