Rowena Robinson Psychological Services

Background

Welcome!

Hello and thank you for finding me. I have been a Registered Psychologist in Alberta since 1992 and I am a leader in the mental health community. I began my work as a Psychologist in Calgary providing therapy to individuals, couples, and families. I have also provided clinical supervision as an approved clinical supervisor with the College of Alberta Psychologists (CAP) to over one hundred Registered Provisional Psychologists for nearly 30 years. Over the past 20 years I have developed a specialization in assessment and diagnosis of mental health concerns in children and adolescents. Most recently I have been supporting Family Doctors in their treatment of patients with mental health concerns. Please reach out and contact me with any questions. I look forward to hearing from you! - Rowena.

Services

Clinical Supervision

I am passionate about Clinical Supervision and mentoring clinicians as they become Psychologists. I have provided clinical supervision as an approved clinical supervisor with the College of Alberta Psychologists (CAP) for nearly 30 years to over one hundred Registered Provisional Psychologists. I also provide one-time and ongoing consultation services to Psychologists in the community. I have been a RASC Committee Member and have presented on behalf of PAA regarding issues pertaining to supervising Registered Provisional Psychologists. I am recognized as a leader in the field in Alberta. My primary focus is on providing external supervision to those clinicians working in a private practice or are in an agency setting in Calgary and the surrounding area, who are interested in Registering as a Psychologist in Alberta. I believe in developing supportive and collaborative supervisory relationships based on a competency-based approach. I guide in the development of supervision plans, provide direction in completing the LEAP exam, provide full support in successfully completing the EPPP, and assist the Registered Provisional Psychologist in completing their required clinical hours and in developing confidence in themselves as ethical, diligent, competent practitioners as they pursue their journey of becoming a Registered Psychologist. Please reach out to discuss your particular needs. - Rowena.

Child and Adolescent Mental Health Assessments

Hello parents and guardians! Over the past 20 years, as a Psychologist in Calgary, I have developed a specialization in assessment and diagnosis of mental health issues in children and adolescents.

Are you concerned that your child is anxious and worries?
Is your child avoiding situations and school?
Does your child have a depressed mood?
Is your child struggling with eating or sleep?
Is your child having trouble paying attention and making careless mistakes?
Is your child irritable and defiant?
Does your child require a Diagnostic Letter to support accommodations at school?

I provide mental health assessments of children and adolescents between 6-18 years of age and will provide diagnostic clarity. I will provide evidence based treatment recommendations. I also provide Diagnostic Letters to schools to support the development of Learning Plans. Please reach out and contact me with any questions. I look forward to hearing from you! - Rowena.
