When I entered the field of Psychology nearly 15 years ago, I was both surprised and delighted in the path that unfolded before me.  Gaining experience in a variety of settings, I developed skills in  assessment, counselling and working with children with disabilities. Since then, I found a way to weave my interests and skills into an eclectic and unique practice. I now devote care toward children, parents, couples and families struggling with the most complicated life situations. Through the use of assessment, diagnosis, counselling and training workshops, I have the pleasure of seeing growth and change in each of my clients. You have the potential, let me help you discover the possibilities. Growth is in your hands.

Shannon Mitchell-Flek, M.A.,
Registered Psychologist


As a Registered Psychologist, I have had the privilege to work with children, adolescents and adults to help them discover their inner strengths in order to address unexpected and daily challenges. My experience collaborating and consulting with educators and other professionals in a school setting provides a framework that is beneficial in conducting a comprehensive psycho-educational and/or social-emotional assessment of an individual’s strengths and needs as well as to identify effective recommendations, strategies and supports that will allow for growth and success in school, home and social environments. My counselling approach draws on cognitive-behavioural and solution-focused techniques to help clients cope with depression/mood, anxiety/panic, self-esteem, interpersonal relationships, as well as other life changes and challenges. As a member of Postpartum Support International and a mother of two, I recognize the challenges parenthood brings to personal well-being and relationships. As such, I provide support to women and their families who are experiencing postpartum mood and anxiety disorders. I have built an eclectic practice that combines my areas of passion and expertise to support clients of all ages as they recognize their potential and achieve balance in their lives.

Yvonne Hindes, Ph.D.,
Registered Psychologist


My philosophy and approach centers on the concept that effective assessment requires a comprehensive and thorough evaluation of the individual's strengths and areas of need in order to provide an individual with the fundamental tools, recommendations, strategies, community resources and supports that he/she needs in order to perform, grow, and be successful at school and in daily life. I specialize in conducting psycho-educational, gifted, and emotional/behavioural assessments. I have had practical and clinical experience as a psychologist at a public school board, a special education school, a university clinic, and in private practice. I am also a sessional instructor within the field of psychology. I am passionate and dedicated to the profession of psychology, and more importantly, to the children and families that I support and work with.
