Therapeutic Services

We have limited availability to provide therapeutic services to individual clients at this time. However, we do welcome folks to contact us to be put on a wait list should opportunities become available.

Psychoeducational Assessments

Our psychologists provide psychoeducational assessments at our clinic in Yellowknife. When funding allows, we also travel to client’s home communities anywhere in the Northwest Territories and Nunavut.

Psychoeducational assessments are available for both children and adults.

    • Help others to better understand your or your child's strengths and needs;

    • Understand how to help you or your child learn and foster their unique gifts;

    • When relevant, a diagnosis will be identified. This could include a Specific Learning Disability, Intellectual Developmental Disorder, Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, Developmental Coordination Disorder, or a mental health related diagnosis. Even when there is no diagnosis, we can use what we learned about you or your child’s unique profile.

    • Provide specific recommendations for support;

    • Support access to accommodations in post-secondary programs.

  • Fees are set at a flat rate of $235/hr for 13 hours of service ($3,055.00). 

    In most cases, this will cover a comprehensive assessment. In some cases, assessments may be more complex and may require additional time and additional fees. This would be discussed with clients ahead of time for prior approval.

Inter-disciplinary Assessments

Our inter-disciplinary team of Psychologists, Occupational Therapists, Speech-Language Pathologists, and others as needed, offer assessments through a clinic in Yellowknife a few times a year. Our team also travels to the client’s home community anywhere within the Northwest Territories or Nunavut when funding allows.

Inter-disciplinary assessments are more comprehensive than standard psychoeducational assessments. They can be helpful with integrating information about a variety of needs, such as sensory processing, motor coordination, speech skills, and language abilities.

We have team members across professions who have training in Autism-specific measures, including the ADOS-2 and ADI-R. Our team also participates in regular ongoing training and mentorship regarding Autism assessment. Autism assessments are typically inter-disciplinary based.

Assessments will be tailored for each individual’s needs. We will answer as many questions as the client has in one cohesive assessment.
