Hamilton Psychological Service

We provide comprehensive assessments for preschool children (under 6 years old) who may be experiencing delays in their cognitive, language, and social skills. These assessments can identify developmental concerns, such as Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). They can also be helpful to determine the strategies and supports that will best promote the development of new skills.

Psychologists and Psychological Associates have more than one degree in psychology. Following what is usually an Honours Bachelor degree in Psychology, graduate work in applied psychology (e.g., Clinical Psychology) is required. Psychological associates have a Masters degree plus intensive supervised work experience.

Psycho-educational assessments within our practice are undertaken in order to understand a child's, adolescent's, or adult's current functioning. The assessment is designed to uncover any diagnostic or learning style reasons for difficulties an individual may be experiencing at home, school, or in the community.

We need to give each other the space to grow, to be ourselves, to exercise our diversity. We need to give each other space so that we may both give and receive such beautiful things as ideas, openness, dignity, joy, healing, and inclusion. There are many reasons to consider accessing psychotherapy for yourself, your child, or your family.
