Psychologist; Assessments, Therapy, Parent Coaching and Presenter
Dr. Katie Saunders is a licensed psychologist (OPQ) with over 15 years of experience who is dedicated to helping children, adolescents, and families better understand their unique strengths and challenges and reach their full potential. She provides both comprehensive psychoeducational assessments and therapy, supporting clients through assessment, coaching, and therapeutic interventions.
Dr. Katie specializes in psychoeducational evaluations for learning disabilities, ADHD, giftedness, and other concerns related to school performance and adjustment. She has trained and worked across school, hospital, not-for-profit, and private clinic settings. Using a collaborative and strengths-based approach, she helps students and their parents develop a clearer understanding of their learning profile and provides practical, individualized recommendations. She often describes herself to children as a “learning detective,” taking pride in identifying not only areas of difficulty, but also the strengths and abilities that can help them thrive.
In addition to assessment, Dr. Katie provides therapy and parent coaching for concerns such as anxiety, emotional and behavioural challenges, and difficulties navigating school and family life. Her therapeutic work is tailored to each child and family, with an emphasis on building practical skills, confidence, and a better understanding of themselves.
Whether a family is seeking an assessment to better understand how a child learns or support for anxiety and other emotional challenges, Dr. Katie works collaboratively with children, adolescents, and parents to help them feel understood, supported, and equipped to move forward.
