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

• Individually based cognitive behavioural therapy for adults with symptoms of anxiety and depression.
• Assessment for a variety of child and adult mental health disorders.

Eligibility for Service

Due to the nature of the training setting, we will not be able to accept clients who are: 1) in receipt of other mental health services; 2) involved in litigation; 3) receiving financial compensation from a third party; 4) at high risk of suicide or experiencing problems with psychosis, alcohol or drugs; 5) associated with a member of the Psychology Training Clinic; and or 6) unwilling to be seen by a graduate student under supervision.

Confidentiality Policy

All information about clients is kept in strict confidence and only available to the client, therapist, and supervisor, and if appropriate the physician or legal guardian. No information about a client will be shared with any other party without written permission. Only in rare circumstances as outlined by federal and provincial acts is confidential information disclosed without consent (e.g., if a client is found to be an imminent danger to him/herself or to someone else).
