While sleep, nutrition and exercise are prescribed in order to increase one’s lifespan, of more importance is mental health. What is the logic in living long if you are not happy?\

CLINICAL & tHERAPY SERVICES
Amundson & Associates Psychology Practice was established in 1980. Since that time tens of thousands of patients have received clinical care. The office has not only provided direct clinical services, but it has been recognized as a pre-imminent example of what independent practice in psychology should be about.
It has been a centre for research, program development, the crafting of standard of practice and guidelines, teaching, training and supervision, and the development of psychologists who guide the profession today.
Aside from clinical and scholarly production, it has as well been at the forefront of issues related to public well-being; advocating for fairness and justice. The office has also been honoured to provide ethical guidance to the profession by the Psychologist’ Association of Alberta and the College of Alberta Psychologists.
