What is a psychologist?
When you get sick, you turn to a medical doctor to diagnose and treat your condition. However, medical doctors are often unequipped to handle emotional issues. A psychologist, on the other hand, studies how the mind works and its affect on human behavior. As well trained and experienced professionals, the registered psychologists at Edgar Psychological evaluate and treat a full range of emotional and psychological issues, helping you solve real-world problems by unlocking your own inner strength and developing new ways to deal with the challenges you are facing. Ensuring your health and well-being is our main priority. We are eager to help you take those crucial first steps towards the road to contentment.
