Frequently Asked Questions

  • Our Calgary child psychologists provide psychological and psychoeducational assessments in addition to counselling services. We specialize in individual therapy and parenting support.

  • Our team of Calgary child psychologists specialize in supporting kids, teens, and families who are navigating anxiety, OCD, depression, neurodevelopmental differences (ADHD/ASD) and emotional/behavioural regulation challenges, in addition to those who have experienced trauma, traumatic grief, and divorce or separation. We have advanced training in TF-CBT, EMDR, CBT, ACT, and play-based interventions to ensure that our clients are supported with an approach that is tailored to their needs and developmental level.

  • Yes! We specialize in providing comprehensive psychoeducational and diagnostic assessments to evaluate individual profiles of strength and areas of need, and to investigate diagnoses of ADHD, learning disorders, and emotional/behavioural difficulties in addition to ASD. This includes the high-masking and female presentation of Autism. You can learn more about our assessment process here.

  • It’s common for children to feel worried, have big emotions, and go through difficult phases. In many cases, these challenges are temporary and improve with time and support. However, research shows that some children benefit from additional help when concerns are more persistent, intense, or begin to interfere with daily life.

    You might consider reaching out to a child psychologist if your child is experiencing ongoing or intense anxiety or distress, difficulties that interfere with their ability to function at home, school, or with peers, or significant behavioural changes or regressions. And if you’re not sure, you can always reach out for a consultation, and we can help you figure out the best way forward for your family!

  • Session rates are $235/hour for registered psychologists and $200/hour for registered provisional psychologists. For more information about flat-rate psychological and psychoeducational assessment fees, click here.

    Payment can be made through e-transfer, credit card, or cash. We are generally not able to offer direct billing at this time, so please check with your insurance provider to ensure you have coverage.

  • You can reach out through our contact form or add yourself to our booking system directly, and we’ll walk you through the next steps and answer any questions you have along the way!

If the day ever came when we were able to accept ourselves and our children exactly as we and they are, then, I believe, we would have come very close to an ultimate understanding of what ‘good’ parenting means.”
