Motor Vehicle Accident (MVA) Assessment in Calgary
At our Calgary Psychologist Clinic, we are dedicated to providing comprehensive assessment and counselling services for individuals affected by Motor Vehicle Accidents (MVAs). MVAs can have profound physical, emotional, and psychological impacts, and our team of psychologists is here to support individuals in coping with the aftermath of these traumatic events.
We have worked with many different insurance companies to help clients get the help they need. The process starts with a free consultation, followed by booking a session and creating a preliminary assessment report that the insurance company will need in order to approve further sessions. We usually see approvals for between 12-18 sessions with possibility of extensions at the end which requires another progress report.
Direct billing for MVA cases is often a possibility, but it depends on if and who you have other mental health coverage with and if we are able to direct bill them. Contact us to discuss your particular situation and setup a free consultation.
Understanding the Psychological Impact of MVAs
Motor Vehicle Accidents are sudden and often violent events that can result in a wide range of physical injuries. However, the psychological effects can be equally significant. Individuals involved in MVAs may experience intense fear, helplessness, and horror, leading to the development of trauma-related disorders such as Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). Symptoms can include intrusive thoughts, flashbacks, nightmares, severe anxiety, and hypervigilance.
How Psychologists Can Help
Assessment: Our psychologists conduct comprehensive assessments to evaluate the psychological impact of the accident. These assessments help determine the severity of trauma and guide personalized treatment planning.
Trauma-Informed Therapy: We utilize evidence-based therapies such as Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), and exposure therapy to address trauma and PTSD symptoms. These therapies help individuals process traumatic memories and reduce distress.
Coping Strategies: Our psychologists teach coping strategies and relaxation techniques to help clients manage anxiety and stress associated with the accident, improving emotional regulation and enhancing overall well-being.
Psychoeducation: We educate clients about the nature of trauma and its effects, empowering them to understand their reactions and normalize their responses, which can reduce feelings of isolation and shame.
Supportive Environment: Our psychologists provide a safe and supportive environment for clients to express their emotions and discuss their experiences, crucial for processing feelings and thoughts related to the MVA.
Rehabilitation: In collaboration with other healthcare professionals, we support rehabilitation efforts by addressing psychological barriers to physical recovery, leading to better overall outcomes.
Advocacy and Documentation: Our psychologists assist clients in documenting their psychological injuries for legal or insurance purposes, ensuring that their mental health needs are acknowledged and addressed.
