Psychological Services (Richmond & Surrey locations)
Psychological referrals are made by WorkSafeBC to help workers who may have psychological issues associated with their injuries or workplace trauma. These services are provided by registered psychologists and largely fall into two categories: treatment and assessment. Psychological treatment referrals are for workers who would benefit from therapy over a prescribed time-period. Psychologists create a treatment plan with goals to guide the therapy. Assessments services are done with a “medical-legal” focus, helping to clarify symptom causality and diagnoses. Certain assessments also help to assess permanent impairment arising from workplace injuries or trauma.
