ND Psych

Neurodiverse psychologist Iain Dolan specializes in assessing adults. This service is only available for adults who are in Alberta, Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, or the Yukon.

Place of Mind specializes in inclusive assessment and supportive psychological services with neurodivergent individuals who are often labeled with Autism, ADHD, or learning and intellectual differences. Place of Mind does not view differences as disorders and starts from a strength-based health and wellness perspective that embraces differences as unique and necessary.

By shifting the focus from fixing and curing to respecting and celebrating each individual, Place of Mind joins with individuals, families, and support teams and offers community-based psychological evaluations, person-centered support planning, connecting, advocating, and personal discovery and empowerment through inclusive relational support across the lifespan.
