Individual Therapy
In individual therapy I use an integrated approach with techniques from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). Cognitive Behavioral Therapy examines the connections between how we think, behave and feel. When we understand these patterns, we can begin to change one area (for example, how we behave) to impact other areas (like how we feel). Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, focuses on what is important to you (your values), cognitive (mental) flexibility, and mindfulness.
Assessments
*NEW: We now offer psychoeducational assessments and ADHD assessments for adults.
We offer psychological, neurodevelopmental, and psychoeducational assessments. We conduct assessments for English eligibility, school derogation, giftedness, ADHD, ASD, learning disabilities and behavioural difficulties. We also specialize in assessments of children with language disorders and hearing, visual or motor impairments.
We will examine your, or your child's, cognitive, academic, behavioural and emotional functioning through standardized tests and questionnaires during the assessment. We use gold-standard measures such as the WISC-5, WPSSI-IV and TEACH.
​
The Assessment Package includes:
-
3-4 in-person evaluation sessions (which include the initial interview, testing sessions, and a results meeting).
-
All materials needed for the assessment (testing materials, questionnaires, etc.).
-
Consultations with teachers and other health care professionals (as needed).
-
A Psychological Assessment Report (a 7-15 page report including all the results of the assessment along with a summary of the pertinent conclusions and recommendations for educators and parents).
Family Therapy
Family therapy can be useful for many issues. In family therapy, I try to help family members be present with one another and communicate more effectively. This type of therapy is also useful for managing difficult behavior in children and teenagers as often it is in the dynamic between parent and child that these difficulties manifest.
