Hello and welcome!
ABOUT whitney
Hello! My name is Whitney and I am a licensed member of the College of Psychologists of New Brunswick (CPNB). I specialize in psychoeducational, ADHD, and gifted assessments.
I have always enjoyed working with people, especially children and youth. When working with families, I work towards creating a warm, friendly, trusting, and professional environment that takes into consideration each child's unique personality and needs.
My Approach
I complete assessments that are strength-based. Through the assessment process, my goal is to determine the underlying causes of a child's academic, social/emotional or behavioural difficulties. With having a good understanding of a child's areas of strength and weakness, I can help parents have a better understanding of how their child learns and provide tools and strategies for skill development and growth.
How I Can Help You
All individuals have areas of strength and some areas of difficulty. Sometimes, these difficulties impact academic success. If your child or teen is having academic difficulties, struggles with attention and concentration, completing schoolwork, or is struggling with social, emotional, or behavioural challenges, psychoeducational assessment can help evaluate your child’s cognitive and academic profile as well as clarify your child’s learning strengths and areas of need.
Psychological assessments help provide a thorough understanding of an individual’s cognitive, academic, behavioural, and/or social-emotional profile to help determine strengths and area(s) in need of support. Assessments may identify:
-
Learning disorders
-
Intellectual ability
-
Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD)
-
Mood and anxiety disorders
-
Behavioural difficulties
-
Giftedness
Through comprehensive assessment, I help individuals and their families understand areas of strength and need. Assessments may result in a diagnosis, but most importantly, help inform supports and strategies that promote development and positive outcomes at school, home, and within the community.
