You bring the story, we bring the research. Together we will find the solution.
QueensBridge Psychology Services is focused on providing evidence-based assessment, diagnostic, and treatment services across central and southern Saskatchewan. Our team of registered doctoral psychologists work with clients to develop a treatment plan that takes into account each clients individual goals and preferences. Interventions are grounded in research and theory, providing a strong foundation for making clinically significant change.
You bring a lifetime of expertise into therapy. You know what has worked for you in the past and what hasn’t, the events and circumstances that have contributed to the problems you are now facing. Effective therapy is the integration of your knowledge with our training and expertise. You bring the story, we bring the research.
