Deanne Edwards Psychology Services

Description

My passion is to help children and adolescents succeed in life. Given that children spend the majority of their lives at school and a good education provides the foundation for success, it is important to address concerns that arise along the way. These concerns include: poor progress in academic areas; difficulties with daily living skills; attention-regulation concerns; poor social skills and mood disturbances. I help to address concerns that arise during school years by providing professional, confidential, psychological consultation and assessment services to assist children and adolescents with getting back on their path towards success in their lives.
I have more than 10 years experience working in elementary and secondary schools, where I see children and adolescents with a broad range of issues, such as: Intellectual Disability, Learning Disability, Giftedness and ADHD. I also provide consultative services to principals, teachers and parents to help understand and program better for students' needs. Presently, I am pursuing my Doctorate of Education in Counselling & Psychotherapy at The Ontario Institute for Studies in Education at the University of Toronto (OISE/UT). I am registered as a Psychological Associate with the College of Psychologists of Ontario. As well, I maintain membership with the Ontario Psychologist Association.
