Psychological Support for Recovery

Psychological Support for Recovery

Recovering from an injury, chronic pain, or illness often affects far more than physical symptoms. Sleep, work, relationships, confidence, and day-to-day life can all be impacted. Our Registered Psychologist works as part of your rehabilitation team to help you navigate these challenges using evidence-based approaches tailored to your goals, including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Pain Reprocessing Therapy (PRT), Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART), mindfulness, and nervous system regulation strategies.

Understanding Your Background

At your first appointment, your psychologist takes time to understand your background, current concerns, and goals.

A Tailored Approach

Together, you’ll set treatment goals and create a tailored approach that reflects your needs.

Coordinated Care

Where appropriate, your psychologist collaborates with your broader care team to provide coordinated, integrated care that supports your recovery.

Insurance Coverage & Direct Billing

Insurance Coverage & Direct Billing

Coverage for psychology services varies by plan. Some services may be covered through extended health benefits, and direct billing may be available depending on your provider. We recommend confirming your coverage before your first appointment. No referral is required to begin care, so you can book directly with one of our registered Psychologists.

Frequently Asked Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a referral to see a psychologist at Access Orthopaedics?

No. You can book a psychology appointment directly, without a referral.

Alberta Health does not cover psychology services provided in private practice. Many extended health benefit plans do provide coverage, so we recommend confirming your benefits before your first appointment.

CBT is an evidence-based therapy that helps you understand how your thoughts, emotions, behaviours, and physical symptoms influence one another. In the context of pain and rehabilitation, it provides practical strategies to reduce distress, improve sleep, increase activity, and support your recovery.

Pain Reprocessing Therapy (PRT) is based on modern pain neuroscience and helps people understand how the brain and nervous system influence persistent pain. It uses evidence-based strategies to reduce fear, improve confidence in movement, and support recovery.

Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART) is an evidence-based psychotherapy that helps the brain process distressing memories and experiences using guided eye movements. It can be effective for trauma, anxiety, grief, and other distressing life events, helping reduce the emotional and physical impact of these experiences without requiring you to repeatedly talk through every detail. ART can be helpful for trauma, motor vehicle collisions, medical procedures, anxiety, grief, distressing memories, and other experiences that continue to affect recovery and day-to-day life.

Pain is always real. Chronic pain affects the whole person, including the nervous system, emotions, behaviours, relationships, sleep, and daily functioning. Psychology is one part of a comprehensive approach to recovery, helping you develop skills to reduce distress, improve function, and support your overall recovery.

Yes. Psychology is offered as part of our multidisciplinary care model, so your psychologist can work alongside your physiotherapist, physiatrist, or other members of your care team.
