Psychologists

What is a Psychologist?

A practising psychologist is trained to assess and diagnose problems in thinking, feeling and behaviour as well to help people overcome or manage their problems using a variety of treatments or psychotherapies. In Canada, the services provided by a psychologist are covered by provincial health insurance only if the psychologist is employed by, for example, a hospital, correctional facility, community clinic, social agency or school. The services provided by a psychologist in private practice are not covered by provincial health insurance plans and the psychologist bills the patient directly. Many people have extended health benefits through their employers that cover some amount of psychological services.

January 1, 2024, the recommended fee schedule for a Registered Psychologist in Alberta is $220.00 (50 minute session) for Individual/Couple/Family Therapy. Always check with your insurance provider if possible coverage is available.

                                                                                                                                                                                      As a child, Gavin, the lead psychologist at MCatee, struggled with self-acceptance. He couldn’t figure out why he often struggled in areas where his peers succeeded. Gavin’s difficulties included focusing and learning in school, keeping and maintaining friends, and developing relationships with his parents. It wasn’t until University that Gavin discovered that some of his challenges resulted from undiagnosed ADHD. With this discovery, Gavin dedicated himself to learning and understanding himself alongside his neurodivergent identity. Gavin’s research projects focused on the relationship between mental and physical health, emphasizing adult and children’s self-improvement through self-acceptance, personal growth, and self-awareness. After completing his Master’s, Gavin immersed himself in sports as a competitive swimming coach and in mental health as a counsellor, specializing in adolescent and family trauma.
