Dr. Carla LeHouillier, Licensed Psychologist
I am a Psychologist licensed to practice child psychology in British Columbia. For over a decade, I have been providing psychological services to children and their families. I specialize in providing comprehensive learning and developmental assessments for preschoolers, children, teens and young adults. I assess children and youth for learning disorders, developmental delays, ADHD, or mental health concerns like anxiety. I also provide counselling to children and their families, including individual therapy and parenting support or consultation.
I completed a PhD in School Psychology from the University of British Columbia, with advanced training and expertise in early childhood development and assessment practices. I have been fortunate to have had the opportunity to work in public school settings, Child and Youth Mental Health offices through the Ministry of Children and Family Development, and private psychology practices.
I enjoy working with families from diverse backgrounds. I bring enthusiasm, patience and positive energy when working with children of all ages, with a specialty in the early childhood years. I believe in the importance of relationship and attachment, and that it's never too late for learning, growth and improving connections. I use a variety of therapeutic treatment approaches in my work with children and their caregivers, with a primary focus on those that are strength based and family centred. I welcome opportunities to consult with educators and other professionals in best supporting a child or adolescent's developmental needs, both during or after the assessment process, and when providing therapeutic support to families.
When I'm not working, you can find me spending time with my family, enjoying all of what beautiful BC has to offer, going for a run with friends, or browsing the local markets.
Dr. Dorna Rahimi, PhD, Assessment Clinician
I completed my PhD in the School and Applied Child Psychology program at the University of British Columbia (UBC), with my residency in the Ottawa-Carelton District School board. My practice is currently supervised by Dr. LeHouillier.
My academic and professional journey is centred around understanding and enhancing the well-being of children through the lens of psychology. I have a wealth of experience completing psychological assessments for children, youth and young adults, and have held positions in school districts, government programs, and as Clinic Coordinator of the Psychological Services and Counselling Training Centre at UBC.
In both my personal and academic life, I am committed to an ecological and social justice approach. I believe in the interconnectedness of individuals and their environments, emphasizing the importance of fostering a sustainable and just world. This philosophy extends to my research and work, where I strive to contribute to the well-being of children while addressing broader societal and environmental concerns.
Outside of my practice, I find joy and relaxation in various activities such as reading, travelling, biking, and swimming. I am an avid traveller, always seeking to expand my horizons and immerse myself in different cultures. Exploring the beautiful landscapes of British Columbia is a special pleasure, whether it's biking through scenic routes or indulging in the serenity of swimming in lakes scattered across the province.
Coralee Curby, M.Ed., Licensed School Psychologist
I am a School Psychologist with over 25 years of experience supporting children and youth across school and clinic settings. Throughout my career, I have had the privilege of working alongside diverse learners and families, experiences that have shaped my compassionate, collaborative, and strengths-based approach to care. I hold a teaching degree and a Graduate Degree in School Psychology from The University of British Columbia.
I have specialized training in supporting learners of all abilities, including neurodivergent children and youth, and in evidence-based instructional approaches including Orton-Gillingham. I have worked closely with educators and care teams to support student well-being, learning, and development. I believe children flourish when families, educators, and professionals work together within compassionate, responsive communities of care
Working under the clinical supervision of Dr. LeHouillier, my desire is to help caregivers better understand their child’s unique learning profile by identifying strengths, stretches and areas for support. My work is grounded in the belief that every child has unique abilities and the capacity to thrive, when provided with understanding, connection, and appropriate support. I strive to create a warm and welcoming environment where children feel seen and understood, and where caregivers feel informed and supported throughout the process.
Beyond my professional work, I am also a mother of two wonderful children. Parenting has deeply influenced both my personal and professional perspective, and has strengthened my appreciation for the individuality, resilience, and complexity of every learner and family journey. Outside of work, I find joy in music, movement, time by the ocean, and new adventures that nurture balance and personal growth.
