My name is Stephanie Laborge, and I am a Registered Psychologist working with youth and their parents in the Calgary area. I love working with children, and am honoured when asked to partner with families.
I specialize in the treatment of Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) in children, using Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) as well as exposure and response prevention (E/RP). I also have experience treating anxiety disorders, Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), and learning needs.
I received my Master of Education in School and Applied Child Psychology from the University of Calgary, followed by a Post-Graduate Certificate in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) from Wilfrid Laurier University, with additional specific training for OCD and Exposure and Response Prevention (E/RP) through the Behaviour Therapy Training Institute and the International OCD Foundation.
I am also the mother of three beautiful children who constantly keep me on my toes, and often serve as my motivation to continue to learn, grow, and better myself as a person and as a professional.
Hello! My name is Chelsea, and I am a Registered Provisional Psychologist. My academic journey includes a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from the University of British Columbia and a Master of Science Degree in School and Applied Child Psychology from the University of Calgary. These qualifications, along with my practical experience, have equipped me with specialized skills in assessment and consultation with families. I am dedicated to creating a safe, compassionate, and judgment-free space where everyone’s unique voice is heard and valued.
My passion for helping children understand their distinctive learning abilities, addressing their needs, and guiding them toward realizing their dreams is what drives me. When not working, I enjoy hiking, snowboarding, camping, and exploring new places with friends and family.
Hello! My name is Melanie, and I am a Registered Provisional Psychologist. I hold a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology, a Master of Arts in Child and Youth Studies, and a Master of Science in School and Applied Child Psychology. Alongside my academic background, I have extensive experience supporting high-risk youth with complex needs within the child welfare system.
My current focus is on conducting psychoeducational assessments with children and youth to explore learning, cognitive, and social emotional challenges. I strive to develop a comprehensive understanding of each child’s learning profile while also recognizing their individual strengths. I prioritize contextualizing assessment results in a practical way and aim to offer meaningful recommendations to help support your child’s growth.
I also provide intervention for children experiencing difficulties with anxiety, emotional regulation, and attention, using a fun and engaging Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) approach.
Outside of my work, I enjoy embracing my nerdy side through video games, anime, and fantasy
novels. I look forward to the opportunity to work with you and your child!
My name is Jenelle and I am currently completing my Masters in Counselling graduate degree. For the past three years, I have been working as a behaviour strategist for children with developmental delays, in an early childhood intervention program. I have worked with children with various diagnoses, including Autism Spectrum Disorder, Attention Deficit / Hyperactivity Disorder, Rett Syndrome, Global Developmental Delay, and other cognitive, motor, and socioemotional delays. My work with children and families has been in ECS and FSCD programs, involving collaboration with developmental aides, teachers, and therapists, to support children in their development.
In this role, I have gained experience in assessing behavioral, emotional, and developmental needs, and developing comprehensive behavioral profiles and individualized treatment plans based on those assessment findings. I work closely with families, providing guidance, resources, and support on behavior modification techniques and strategies.
I have worked with families from various cultural backgrounds and have experience in adapting my approach to meet the needs and values of my clients, as I wholeheartedly believe in maintaining respect for cultural diversity. I am passionate about providing a communicative, collaborative and ethical approach to my work, as I believe that success is derived from a shared commitment and supportive environment.
