What is Clinical Psychotherapy?

Clinical psychotherapy integrates science, theory, and clinical knowledge to explain the complexities of human functioning. We work to understand, prevent, and relieve psychologically based distress and promote physical, mental, emotional, and social wellbeing.

Couples Clinical Psychotherapy

Couples clinical psychotherapy can help couples in all types of intimate relationships, regardless of sexual orientation or marital status, to identify and resolve issues and strengthen their relationships. This takes place in a therapeutic environment in which the clinician prioritizes the health of the relationship and balances the needs of both partners equally.  

Couples clinical psychotherapy can help couples rebuild and strengthen the foundations of their relationship, learn effective communication styles, and deepen mutual understanding as well as emotional/physical intimacy. Individuals in the partnership may also develop a better understanding of themselves and gain insight into the ways that their individual histories, beliefs, and behaviours impact their relationships. Some specific concerns that are commonly addressed can include communication problems, trust issues, infidelity, anger, substance abuse and addictions, parenting and blended family concerns, and issues related to emotional and sexual intimacy.

Family Clinical Psychotherapy

Family clinical psychotherapy can help identify and resolve issues that may be interfering in the functioning of the family unit or creating difficulties within specific relationships. 

Family clinical psychotherapy can help families work through challenges including relationship difficulties, ineffective communication patterns, conflict, anger, substance abuse and addictions, parenting and blended family concerns, supporting a family member with mental illness or intellectual/developmental disabilities, as well as navigating separation or divorce. 

Clinical Psychological Assessment

HISELER, KELLY & ASSOCIATES offer psychological assessment services, where we learn about about you and provide an informed psychological opinion about your life. This can include using specialized questionnaires to reach meaningful and valid conclusions. We formalize our opinion into an easy to understand written report for your records. For some people, this can include communication of a diagnosis, which is a unique service that only a psychologist can provide. We can then provide consultation to help you determine your next steps.
