What Is EMDR Therapy?

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a comprehensive therapy model that has been proven to be highly effective for individuals who have experienced trauma. It is an evidence-based practice and is recommended by the World Health Organization for the treatment of PTSD.

When trauma occurs, the brain can process and store memories differently. Sometimes these memories are stored improperly, causing them to feel very present. Everyday triggers, whether related or unrelated, can cause the brain and body to react as though the trauma is happening all over again. This repeated experience can be exhausting and deeply distressing.

EMDR is based on the understanding that emotional well-being is closely connected to the body (somatic experience). During EMDR, a therapist uses bilateral stimulation—such as guided eye movements or tapping—to help the brain reprocess trauma memories. This allows the memory to move into a more functional part of the brain, reducing its emotional intensity.

If you’re curious about EMDR or wondering if it might be helpful for you, feel free to reach out or learn more.

☀️Meet Alex!☀️

Dr. Aquilina is a Registered Psychologist who completed her Ph.D. and Master’s degree in the School and Clinical Child Psychology program at the University of Alberta. She has experience working with children, adolescents, and families across hospital, clinic, private practice, and school settings, supporting individuals with a wide range of presenting concerns.

Dr. Aquilina has nearly 10 years of experience conducting cognitive (IQ) assessments from preschool through adulthood, as well as ADHD, psychoeducational, and social, emotional, and behavioural assessments for children and adolescents (ages 6 to 21). She takes a thoughtful, person-centred approach to assessment, using interviews, observations, academic and developmental information, historical records, and standardized measures to develop a comprehensive understanding of how a child thinks, learns, and experiences the world. Dr. Aquilina is passionate about identifying each child’s unique strengths alongside areas for growth, and she strives to ensure that the assessment process feels supportive, collaborative, and meaningful for both children and caregivers.

In her work with children and families, Dr. Aquilina is known for being kind, comforting, gentle, and non-judgmental. She values building strong, trusting relationships and aims to create a safe and welcoming space where children feel comfortable being themselves. She understands that assessments can feel overwhelming, and she prioritizes helping families feel heard, supported, and empowered throughout the process. Dr. Aquilina currently offers comprehensive assessment services through KV Psychology & Wellness Clinic.

Outside of work, Dr. Aquilina enjoys travelling, hiking, and spending time with her husband and their dog, Goose. When she is not exploring faraway places or the Alberta Rockies, she appreciates quiet, cozy moments at home, baking, knitting, crocheting, reading, watching movies, and spending time with friends and family.

Adult Psychological Testing helps answer important questions about mental health by gaining a deeper understanding of cognitive and emotional functioning. These comprehensive assessments support accurate diagnosis, guide treatment planning, and help determine appropriate services for adults experiencing mental health concerns.

Psychological testing can assess a wide range of conditions, including anxiety, depression, schizophrenia, and personality disorders. The process includes a thorough review of personal history, completion of standardized questionnaires, a structured clinical interview, and a detailed written report with diagnostic impressions (when applicable) and personalized treatment recommendations.

If you or someone you know is seeking clarity and direction for mental health care, psychological testing can be an important first step.

What is an ADHD Assessment?

An ADHD assessment is a comprehensive evaluation designed to determine whether an individual meets the criteria for Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD).

The process begins with an intake appointment, where current concerns are discussed and it is determined whether a full psychoeducational assessment may be recommended based on the presenting issues.

An ADHD assessment typically includes:
• One-on-one standardized testing
• Standardized rating scales
• A review of background and developmental history
• An interview with parents (for children) or with the adult pursuing testing
• A detailed written report with findings and recommendations

Testing takes place over multiple sessions to ensure accurate and thoughtful results.

As part of the assessment, standardized rating scales are also used to screen for social-emotional concerns, including anxiety, to help rule out underlying factors that may be contributing to attention-related symptoms.

If you have questions about whether an ADHD assessment may be right for you or your child, feel free to reach out for more information.
