Therapeutic Approach

• Psychoeducation is a vital part of accident rehabilitation (MVA) programs, including WSIB-supported recovery. It helps individuals better understand the circumstances and impact of their accident, their personal coping strategies, available resources, and areas of strength. Those with this understanding are often better equipped to manage challenges, feel more in control of their condition, and actively work toward physical, mental, and emotional well-being. This approach is a key component of most trauma-informed and accident-focused rehabilitation therapies.

• Motivational interviewing is a counseling approach designed to help people find the motivation to make a positive behavior change. This client-centered approach is particularly effective for people who have mixed feelings about changing their behavior.

• Emotionally Focused Therapy(EFT) enhances bonds by addressing emotional responses & fostering secure attachments. Eft helps the individuals identify negative interaction patterns & replace them with healthy communication. Through understanding & expressing emotions, clients build stronger, more empathetic connections.
