Psychological assessments in Invermere and online

An assessment can help you understand what’s going on, put a name to it where that fits, and get practical recommendations for what may help. Assessments are offered by Alana Cotterall, Registered Psychologist, with some appointments available online.

How assessments work

  • Inquiry: a short secure form about what you’d like to understand. Brief answers are fine.
  • Your plan: Alana confirms whether the assessment fits, the proposed scope and the estimated fee, in writing, before anything is booked.
  • Interview and questionnaires: plus testing where it’s needed. Some appointments can be online.
  • Written findings: Alana brings everything together into a report or letter, in the format agreed at the start.
  • Feedback: a meeting to go through the findings, any diagnosis, and recommendations, with time for your questions.

Not ready for a full assessment? A single consultation session ($225) offers guidance on your concerns or on screening results, without a full assessment. It doesn’t produce a diagnosis or formal report.

Many extended health plans cover assessments by a Registered Psychologist, sometimes with limits. Check your plan; receipts are provided. Assessments aren’t covered by MSP.

Yes. As a Registered Psychologist, Alana can make a diagnosis when the findings support one. Not every assessment leads to a diagnosis, though. Whatever the findings, you’ll get a clear explanation and recommended next steps.

No. You can contact Alana directly, or a doctor or counsellor can refer you.

These need separate consideration. Mention the purpose in your inquiry so Alana can let you know whether she can help.
