Motor Vehicle Accident (MVA) Recovery Support
​
At Lusana Mental Health & Wellness, we specialize in compassionate, trauma-informed care for individuals recovering from motor vehicle accidents in Ontario. We partner with law firms, case managers, and insurers to deliver expert psychological and physical assessments, comprehensive treatment plans, and HCAI-compliant reporting for MVA clients. Our trauma-informed care supports timely rehabilitation, strong documentation for claims, and optimal outcomes at every stage.​
​
Our virtual evidence-based psychological and physical therapy services help our clients heal from the emotional and physical impacts of an accident, including anxiety, trauma, chronic pain, sleep disruption, mobility challenges, and relationship strain. We use evidence-based approaches such as EMDR, Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART), CBT, physiotherapy, therapeutic yoga, and holistic nutrition to support meaningful, lasting recovery.
​​
Comprehensive Psychological & Physical Assessments
We provide detailed, evidence-based psychological and physical assessments designed to support motor vehicle accident claims and rehabilitation planning.
​
Our registered clinicians conduct comprehensive virtual assessments using validated, standardized tools. These assessments clearly identify psychological impairments (e.g., PTSD, anxiety, depression, adjustment disorder) and physical limitations, providing the clinical justification needed for treatment plans and insurance approvals.
​
Reports are comprehensive, objective, and fully compliant with HCAI requirements. We deliver timely, defensible documentation that supports:
​
-
Treatment funding applications
-
Removal from the Minor Injury Guideline when clinically indicated
-
Ongoing case management and settlement discussions
​​
Law firms, case managers, and insurers rely on our assessments for reliable, high-quality evidence that strengthens client outcomes and streamlines claims processes.
