Mental Health
At InMotion Health Centre, we understand that physical and mental health are fundamentally linked. InMotion offers various mental health services and assessments through our psychology, counselling and occupational therapy departments.
Psychology
Seeing a psychologist is an essential way to care for your overall health. Much like visiting a doctor, dentist, or other health professional. Our psychologist’s goal is to help you feel better, reduce symptoms, and improve well-being.
Psychology is the science of the mind, behavior, thought, and emotion. Clinical Psychologists receive comprehensive education and training focused on helping people through counselling, sometimes called talk therapy.
Once a diagnosis has been made, your psychologist will recommend a treatment plan. Together you will work together to help you reach your goals with a timeline that both you and your psychologist are comfortable with.

*Psychology services are covered by most personal health insurance plans. We can direct bill most insurance companies. We always recommend clients consult with their specific insurance provider to confirm eligibility and coverage details.
Occupational Therapy
Occupational therapy recognizes that everyday occupational engagement influences mental and physical health. Occupational therapists believe that occupational performance, organization, choice and satisfaction are determined by the relationship between persons and their environments. An Occupational therapist approachs mental health with this unique perspective that considers a person’s needs within the context of family and community. This client centered philosophy is consistent with Canada’s mental health reforms.
Occupational therapists working in mental health settings focus on enabling individuals to re-engage in meaningful occupations through a variety of skill sets such as; skills development, establishing positive habits, positive routines and setting therapy goals.
