Stephanie Dunsworth

MA, Registered Psychologist

Stephanie specializes in ADHD assessments and comprehensive psychoeducational assessments for children, adolescents, and adults. ADHD assessments investigate the degree of impairment caused by lifelong patterns of inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity. Psychoeducational assessments seek to explain learning challenges by investigating cognitive processing, phonological processing, visual-motor integration, memory, and academic skill development. She offers psychoeducational assessment for children in French Immersion or children in the francophone school system who speak English as a first language.

Through these assessments, Stephanie strives to help her clients build an understanding of their strengths and weaknesses, how to advocate for themselves or their child, and specific recommendations for interventions. As part of assessment, Stephanie considers developmental and medical history, school history, social and emotional functioning, and cultural factors that can influence functioning.

Stephanie also offers ADHD coaching to older adolescents and adults who have already been diagnosed with ADHD. ADHD coaching is a form of solution-focused therapy that focuses on building an understanding of ADHD and how it impacts functioning, skill building, and establishing adaptive habits.
