Services
Counselling
We offer individual therapy for children, adolescents, and adults, as well as, family support, parenting coaching, and couples counselling.
Counselling services can be provided in-person or online, via a secure video conferencing platform.
All counselling services are provided by a Registered Psychologist or Masters-Level Social Worker, or by a Provisional Psychologist under the supervision of a Registered Psychologist. Services are eligible for coverage under health insurance plans and we can direct bill to some providers (including Blue Cross and Green Shield).
Trauma Reprocessing
(EMDR)
What is EMDR (eye movement desensitization and reprocessing) therapy?
During EMDR therapy, clinical observations suggest that an accelerated learning process is stimulated by EMDR’s standardized procedures, which incorporate the use of eye movements and other forms of rhythmic left-right (bilateral) stimulation (e.g., tones or taps). While clients briefly focus on the trauma memory and simultaneously experience bilateral stimulation, the vividness and emotion of the memory are reduced.
Psychoeducational
Assessments
A psycho-educational assessment consists of a series of standardized tests related to aspects of learning and processing. An assessment provides insight into various cognitive processes including verbal and visual learning, reasoning ability, attention and concentration, impulsive response style, language skills, and memory. The process also involves examining various academic skills such as reading (sight vocabulary, phonetic skills, and reading comprehension), spelling, writing, mathematics, and oral language skills.
Group Therapy Programs
At Lumos Psychological we see relationships as essential for growth and development, and we believe there is immense healing power in human connection. As such, we offer opportunities for clients to learn and grow alongside others who are experiencing similar challenges or life circumstances.
Although the thought of participating in a group is uncomfortable for many people at first, they end up discovering a sense of community and shared experience that they didn’t even realize they were longing for. Group therapy can help you find your voice, gain new perspective, and learn how to relate to yourself and others in healthier ways.
Group offerings vary throughout the year.
