Practice comings and goings

Some recent changes in our group practice:

We were sad to say goodbye to Dr. Roger Covin, who moved recently with his family to Ottawa. While we wish him well in his new city, we are sorry to see him go. He was a valued member of our practice.

We also have exciting news about additions our practice! While Dr. Jessica Franks has been working with us for a few years now, at the end of October she is increasing her availability at Hamilton Psychological Services to full time. In addition, she will be offering services in assessment and treatment to clients regarding Autism Spectrum Disorders. A further blog post about this is coming soon.

Finally, we’re pleased to announce that Ms. Getee Naeem has joined us part time. Ms. Naeem offers assessment and treatment to children and adolescents. In addition, she is able to practice in both English and Urdu.

Please join us in wishing Roger well in Ottawa, and in welcoming Jessica and Getee.

Information Sheets available from the Canadian Psychological Association

At this link you can find many fact sheets that have been prepared by members of the Canadian Psychological Association (CPA).

These fact sheets are called "Psychology Works," because they detail many areas (e.g., diabetes, phobias, parenting challenges) where psychology can be of assistance.

Have a look through them. We're sure you'll find something useful, and probably also something you'll want to pass along.
