Sun Life Financial Psychology Training Clinic
Mission
Our mission is to provide an alternative setting for the provision of psychological services to residents in and around Regina.We further aim to provide our student-therapists enrolled in the Clinical Psychology Programme in the Department of Psychology with opportunities to implement psychological services under the supervision of highly trained supervisors.
Strengths of Clinic
The Clinic provides an additional service to community residents, especially those with moderate to mild psychological concerns who may not be able to easily access other services.Clients and students benefit from clinical experience of clinical faculty members who are registered and abreast of the most recent research in the field of clinical psychology.
Psychological Services
All clients will be provided services by a PhD student in Clinical Psychology under close supervision of registered doctoral psychologists. This may involve sessions with both the student-therapist and supervisor or the student-therapist with close review of sessions by the supervisor.Services offered in the Clinic vary from year to year depending on the expertise of the Clinic supervisors.
Fees
We do not want cost to prevent individuals from receiving mental health services, therefore we offer sessions at a reduced rate. Please contact us for a current fee structure. Note: U of R students are provided services at no charge. We are currently offering the following services:
•Individually based cognitive behavioural therapy for adults with symptoms of anxiety and depression.
•Assessment for a variety of child and adult mental health disorders.
