Mental Health
Services

Dr. Barnsley provides evidenced based assessment and treatment for child and adolescent mental health concerns. She is a registered PhD level psychologist.

 

Dr. Barnsley also conducts adaptive functioning assessments. These assessments are often required to secure external support services for children with a profound learning problem, ADHD or when daily living skills need to be assessed.

 

Psychoeducational

Assessments

 

Children spend a notable amount of time in school, when a learning issue becomes a concern it can be distressing for the child and the entire family. A psychoeducational assessment may provide the answers needed to help your child succeed in school. An evaluation for learning disabilities and school related educational problems may be needed.

 

Dr. Barnsley schedules appointments for psychoeducational testing quickly and provides you and your child’s school with the results and recommendations for improved learning. She informs school staff of the specific learning needs and educational planning necessary to optimize the learning of the children she assesses.  Psychoeducational assessments can be conducted in either English or French.
