SERVICES
These normal life challenges can be tough to negociate and sometimes downright overwhelming. Especially when they add up: Anxiety, work stress, physical and emotional disability, caregiving issues of children and/or parents, losses, catastrophic or chronic illness, accidents, career transition, depression, adjusting to married life, or to a new child, or loss of a child, divorce, or a new culture; wanting more out of life, all these and more. Dr. Grenon offers psychological services such as counselling or psychotherapy with adults, older teens and couples. In addition cognitive, adaptive and vocational assessments screenings are available. Contact us for an appointment so we can discuss if Dr. Grenon's experience and areas of competence are the right fit for you and your situation.
Psychologists are trained to administer a variety of psychological tests that can provide invaluable information needed to help in making important life decisions such as "Am I in the right career?" Questionaires and tests can also be useful before, during and at the end of treatment to guide clinical decisions and to provide concrete information on "how things are going" in therapy.
Cognitive Behavioural Theory (CBT) and Acceptance Commitment Therapy (ACT) in addition to mindfullness training, form the cornerstone of Dr. Grenon's theoretical approaches. People with similar concerns may call for different approaches tailored to their unique needs. These are determined in collaboration. Dr. Grenon sees individual adults older teens, and couples.
With age and health problems
sometimes comes increasing difficulties managing daily living
activities to the point where this can become a concern to one
self, family and friends. Dementia is a a decline in
cognitive abilities, the ability to solve problems, use judgment
and remember. Some declines in ability are reversible. A screening
can provide evidence of decline and point to needed follow
up.
At times parents and other caregivers are stomped to change a behaviour pattern that seems to grow out of nowhere and be resistant to change. In those cases it can be helpful to have a trained outsider, a "third eye" come in and take a look at the dynamics of it all. Observations, verbal feedback, and recommendations are available.
You can do anything you decide to do. You can act to change and control your life; and the procedure, the process, is its own reward.
