My private practice encompasses comprehensive assessments and counselling support for adolescents, adults, and seniors, informed by valuable and extensive experience gained across diverse settings. For over two decades, I have been witnessing clients overcoming challenges and thriving, enhancing their quality of life, and fostering a balanced sense of wellbeing. More generally, I work collaboratively with clients, bringing curiosity to understand and address a broad range of issues, helping each toward lasting positive change. My integrative approach adapts interventions to the unique obstacles each client faces along their counselling journey. I am dedicated to assisting individuals in gaining insight into their abilities, learning styles, and behaviours, providing a wide range of assessments, including recommendations, to support their growth and full potential.


Amy Shaw, M.A.,

Registered Psychologist

Co-Founder, Affinity Psychology Group

When I entered the field of Psychology nearly 20 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.


Yvonne Hindes, Ph.D.,

Registered Psychologist


My philosophy and approach center 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.

Stephanie Poole, M.Ed.,

Registered Psychologist


I am passionate about the field of child psychology, focusing specifically on the well-being of the children and families with whom I work. My expertise in early intervention and child development is rooted in years of collaborative clinical practice within various agencies, school boards, and private practice settings. Drawing from evidence-based practices, I tailor interventions to address the distinct needs of each child and family, fostering opportunities for growth and skill-building. I am committed to supporting the resilience of early learners, including those with diverse needs (e.g., high behavioural, sensory, and communication support needs, etc.) While tackling immediate and often complex concerns, my goal is to not only provide solutions but also establish a solid foundation for the long-term success of the children and families I support.

Clemence Deblire, M.A.,

Registered Psychologist


With over a decade of experience working with diverse clients, I have witnessed the incredible resilience and potential for growth in people. My professional journey encompasses supporting clients within the mental health and social services fields, including secure facility settings. This experience cultivated my specialization in grief and trauma, while deepening my understanding of the unique challenges faced by first responders and helping professionals. I create a safe and non-judgmental space where clients explore their inner world, including the most painful experiences, to uncover insights and make meaningful changes in their lives. My work is integrative, combining evidence-based approaches that meet the unique needs of my clients to help them achieve their goals. As a Master-level Accelerated Resolution Therapist and certified Grief Recovery Method specialist, I commit to guiding each client through life’s complexities while helping them find a path to healing.
