Psychologists help to ensure the health and well-being of individuals, families, groups, and society as a whole.



They are trained professionals who conduct research, perform testing, and evaluate and treat a full range of emotional and psychological challenges dealing with human behaviour.



Children sometimes need psychological help, just like adults do.  Treatment typically begins when parents, teachers or school counselors notice that children are not functioning as well as they could.

Psychologists can help children cope with problems such as anxiety and depression, hyperactivity, conflicts with parents and stressful events like divorce or a parent’s death.

A child who bullies other children may need a pshchologist as well as the child who is being bullied.

Children who are living through divorce issues with parents may need to see a psychologist to get help understanding the divorce.  Some times children are put into co parenting situations and it can be difficult to handle. A psychologist can help them to learn to handle the situation.
