Psychological Assessments in Bradford
At WellCare Medical, our regulated clinicians provide comprehensive psychological assessments to clarify the emotional and cognitive impact of injury, stress, or trauma. These evaluations support recovery after motor vehicle accidents (MVA) and workplace injuries (WSIB), and they inform personalized care alongside physiotherapy, chiropractic care, registered massage therapy, and acupuncture. We keep access simple with direct insurance billing, acceptance of work benefits, and private billing packages when needed.
What a Psychological Assessment Includes
Each assessment is led by a licensed psychologist and typically involves a structured clinical interview, validated questionnaires, and targeted cognitive screening. We explore symptoms such as anxiety, depression, trauma-related stress, sleep disruption, and concentration or memory changes that commonly follow collisions or workplace incidents. Findings are synthesized into a clear report with practical recommendations for treatment, return-to-work planning, and daily coping strategies. When appropriate, results are integrated with our rehab team—coordinating with physiotherapy for graded activity, chiropractic adjustments for spinal mechanics, and massage therapy for tension relief.
When a Psychological Assessment Helps
Consider an assessment if you notice persistent worry, low mood, irritability, nightmares, or difficulty focusing after an auto accident or job-related event. It’s also appropriate when headaches, neck/back pain, or chronic pain are affecting sleep and productivity, or when you need documentation to support WSIB/MVA claims. Early identification of psychological barriers helps your physical rehab progress more smoothly and reduces the risk of prolonged disability. Our team uses trauma-informed, goal-oriented care to restore confidence and daily function.
From Assessment to Treatment & Documentation
After testing, you receive a plain-language report that outlines key findings, diagnoses (if applicable), and a step-by-step treatment roadmap. We can coordinate therapy sessions, recommend self-management tools, and align with your employer on return-to-work plans. For insurers, we provide organized, itemized documentation and communicate directly through our direct billing process to streamline approvals. If other needs are identified—such as custom orthotics for gait/posture issues or a Functional Abilities Evaluation (FAE)—we’ll connect you within our clinic.
