The Psychology Association of Saskatchewan (PAS) is very aware of the wide-reaching impact COVID-19 has had on the people of our province.

This list will be regularly.

Recommended Fee: $200 per hour
The above fee recommendation derived by the Psychological Association of Saskatchewan represents a general guideline to assist individual psychologists in determining fee rates for services. The fee recommendation is also made available for reference to users of psychological services such as individual clients and insurers. Each practitioner sets their own fees, incorporating this fee guideline into their particular circumstance. It is expected fees will be adjusted based upon the specific credentials of the psychologist and nature of services being offered (e.g., legal and consultation services may garner a higher hourly rate).
This fee recommendation came into effect on January 2022. It is the intention of the PAS to review the fee on an annual basis.

About the Workshop: As a comprehensive, cognitive behavioural treatment, dialectical behaviour therapy (DBT) consists of individual therapy, group skills training, a therapist consultation team, and between-session telephone coaching. Originally designed to help chronically suicidal individuals, DBT has become a well-supported treatment for clients with complex mental health problems.
This 3-day workshop will focus on providing effective and adherent individual therapy in DBT by reviewing important strategies in providing adherent individual sessions from the beginning to the end of treatment. By the end of the workshop, participants will have a better understanding of how to organize and conduct effective individual DBT sessions. Learn (or review) how to:
Use diary cards and prioritize target behaviours
Conduct effective chain analyses
Structure individual DBT sessions
And much more!
This workshop is designed for therapists who have had some exposure to DBT and DBT skills. Even clinicians who have read the core DBT manuals and attended initial trainings often wonder about the nuts and bolts of conducting effective individual therapy sessions.
Early bird registration ends September 28. Student and group discounts are available.
For any questions, please email info@dbtvancouver.com.
