Health psychology

This team of psychologists help patients better manage, and live with, various chronic diseases including, but not limited to, sleep disorders, heart disease, diabetes, chronic pain, lung disease, and others. They may also present mental health problems commonly seen in a primary care context. A health psychologist also offers her services within the Chronic Disease Management Service. The team works with the help of interns and residents under their supervision.

As a complement to the Pediatric clinic, we offer psychological services (assessment, consultation and short-term treatment) to children, teens and their families. These young patients struggle with attention deficits, hyperactivity, learning disorders, behavioural problems or other mental health problems commonly seen in a pediatric context (anxiety disorders, depression, eating disorders, etc.). Our interventions are adapted to individuals, families or groups. 

The pediatric psychology service does not take external referrals.

Please note that a medical referral is mandatory.
