Whelan Psychological

Whelan Psychological Services provides services to a range of organizations and insurers on a direct referral basis (e.g., employers, insurance companies, family physicians, and self-referral).

We provide assessment and treatment services to HRM personnel (i.e., Police and Fire Services, 911 Dispatch, and EMS), Veterans Affairs Canada, Department of National Defence, RCMP Health Services, and HRM Community Services.

Whelan Psychological Services is the Atlantic Region provider for group-based programs for VAC and DND. Generally, these contracted services pertain to specific employees who are experiencing work-related stress, depressive disorders, addiction problems, concurrent disorders, and more chronic reactions in the form of post traumatic stress disorder.

Assessment of these issues as discrete problems or when comorbid with each other are based on standardized assessment and adherence to DSM-IV-TR (Diagnostic and Statistical Manual) diagnostic criteria.
