Struggles at school or at work? Feel like you are underachieving based on your potential and the amount of time and effort you put into tasks? Do you wonder whether you, or your child, may have a learning disability, ADHD, or other challenges to your learning and/or effective performance? If you answered yes to any of these questions, a psycho-educational assessment may be a helpful step in discovering more about your learning profile, potentially confirming a diagnosis, and recommending accommodations, interventions, and/or strategies to best support your academic or vocational success.

Hi! I'm Tyson Kurtenbach, Registered Doctoral Psychologist. I graduated from the University of Saskatchewan with a Ph.D. in clinical psychology in 2016, and have been working in private practice since 2017 (formerly of Chartier Arnold Shimp & Associates). I have extensive training and a wealth of experience that I bring to my work with each of my clients, in order to help them identify and challenge unhelpful ways of thinking, feeling, and behaving that are leaving them feeling stuck and helpless. Together, I will work with you in building toward your vision of an ideal and worthwhile life, in a way that is meaningful and enduring.

If you are feeling like you just can't live this way anymore, whether it is anxiety, depression, anger, addictions, or relationship issues, there is hope. I will help you develop a variety of skills and coping strategies for successfully managing home and work stress. I will help you overcome the fear that is holding you back from experiencing the life you want. I can certainly help you to develop the sophisticated cognitive-behavioral oriented skill to improve your relationships or manage your anger. I take a gentle, nonjudgmental, and safe counseling approach.

Hi! I am a Registered Psychologist and I provide psychoeducational assessments for children (8yrs+), teens, and adults. I specialize in working with clients wondering if they may have a learning disability, ADHD, intellectual disability, or other related challenge impacting their school or work. Please note: I do not provide counselling or therapy services.

I have had the pleasure of working with a highly variable spectrum of individuals. My experience includes work with youth/adults in the correctional system, in-patient treatment facilities, outpatient treatment facilities, NCRMD forensic care homes, and private consulting for individuals ranging from 16-65. I do not have an "ideal" client. I thrive on being challenged, and exploring the human sciences allows me that challenge, regardless of clientele. Over the last year, I have developed my education in child and youth mental health intervention and counselling as well.

Hi there! I'm Amanda Ellis. I’m a Registered Psychologist with nearly a decade of experience providing psychological services in schools, and a passion for working with kids/youth and their families to ensure that every child not only understands their unique brain but knows that who they are is worth celebrating. I specialize in the identification of learning disabilities, intellectual disabilities, ADHD, and other challenges that may be impacting a child's ability to perform to their potential in school and life. (Please note: At this time, I am not available for counselling/therapy services.)

I believe that knowledge about oneself brings about self-awareness and empowerment. Therefore, conducting a comprehensive psycho-educational assessment and differential diagnoses to children, adolescents, and adults is one way to support individuals who are seeking a better understanding of themself.

Are you finding yourself overwhelmed by challenges, strained relationships with close family and friends, or major life changes that feel difficult too handle? Perhaps you're tired of facing persistent setbacks with your mental health and are eager to discover fresh strategies and perspectives for overcoming these obstacles. Perhaps you aren't exactly sure what's wrong but you don't really feel like yourself anymore and you are looking for the support of a non- judgemental professional to provide a comfortable space to explore these challenges and the changes you wish to create.

Have you or your child been struggling with academic success and/or difficulties with attention and focus? If yes, then a comprehensive psycho-educational assessment may be helpful! A psycho-educational assessment will gather information on individual strengths and weaknesses in various areas of cognition and academia.

I am accepting new assessment clients and group therapy clients; I am not currently able to take on new individual therapy clients. In my practice, I help people to process and recover from the experience of trauma. If you feel stuck, paralyzed by past events, or like you are being haunted by your own memories, I can help you find a way to move forward. Alongside my focus with PTSD, I work generalized anxiety, social anxiety, panic, and work stress.

My passion is to assist clients who are feeling overwhelmed, and despite trying traditional therapeutic methods, are not able to fully understand, make sense of their experiences or sustain lasting change. I offer a combination of therapeutic methods from EMDR, ego state therapy, somatic therapy, clinical hypnosis and DBT to help many trauma survivors heal. For suitable clients, intensives are also available. Intensive trauma treatment allow for more sessions in a shorter period of time to help facilitate your recovery.

Humans are social animals; our brains are built for connection. We crave safe relationships to support us to feel, heal, deal, and grow. We all want to be the best version of ourselves, we just may not know what our best self looks like, or, may lack the support and experience required to discover such. When we are supported to identify and address the unmet needs that may block us from feeling like 'our best', we gain a greater sense of self. By understanding the impact of our relationships, attachments, and environments, we are able to truly make sense of the choices we make, and actions we may - or may not - take.

As a counselor, I strive to listen closely and compassionately. My focus is on helping youth and adults untangle life’s complexities within a safe therapeutic environment. I support clients in discovering and exploring new ways to approach life’s storms using Acceptance and Commitment Therapy. I also tailor treatment plans to the individual, with the use of cognitive-behavioural interventions, person-centred approaches, and mindfulness-based skills.

Now accepting referrals for psychological/psycho-educational assessments only. Do you (or your child) often feel worried, nervous, or fearful? Does your child “hate” going to school? Does he or she struggle to read and write? Are you having difficulty coping with a traumatic event? I provide psychology services for children, youth, and adults.
