A message from FVB Psychologists:
In the face of the current COVID-19 pandemic, we closed our offices in Brampton and Mississauga on March 16. However, our clinicians are committed to our patients and resolute in our determination not to disrupt the delivery of psychological services. Please contact our office to continue treatment sessions via telephone or using our secure remote software (OnCall Health). OnCall Health, a Canadian, user-friendly video platform, allows you to connect with your treating psychologist/psychological associate and continue psychotherapy.
At FVB Psychologists we will continue to answer the phones, book new and continuing patients, and respond to e-mail.

We provide both assessment and treatment services
Our clinicians are psychologists or psychological associates registered with the College of Psychologists of Ontario. This means we are independent practitioners licenced to assess, diagnose, and treat the full range of psychological disorders ranging from problems in living to serious mental health issues. Our practice also employs psychotherapists who are under the supervision of registered psychologists.
In addition, we are consulting psychologists to the Toronto Police Service, the Peel Regional Police (Safeguarding programme), and a number of airlines including Air Canada and Jazz Aviation LP.

Intimate Partner Violence (2)
As we continue discussion of the myriad issues related to intimate partner violence (IPV), in this blog we will explore various interventions aimed at reducing the incidence of IPV. IPV is typically associated with physical abuse, but power and control in the form of financial abuse, withholding access to monetary assets, and manipulation such as imposing detailed rules or expectations on behaviour, restricting access to food, clothing, or basic needs can also act as precursors to physical violence.
COVID-19 and Intimate-Partner Violence (IPV): The Shadow Pandemic
During a pandemic, lockdown, social isolation, and quarantine are all positive measures for the health of our communities, unfortunately, these measures also mean that abusers and those they harm are confined together in spaces around the clock. Furthermore, without the ability to safely make a telephone call or send email, fear and isolation are only heightened.
The Changing Face of Grief:
During the past few years, there has been a substantive shift in how grief has been portrayed by psychologists. A useful place to begin this discussion of the changing face of grief is with Sigmund Freud (1917/1961).
