Clinical Psychologist/Psychological Associate

Sullivan + Associates Clinical Psychology is a full-service psychology clinic with 65 employees and associates focused on providing assessment, psychotherapy/counselling, consultation and workshop services. During the past 18 years, we have been proud to provide these services to over 40,000 children, adolescents, and adults in Thunder Bay and Northwestern Ontario.

As pertains to assessments, we have worked with numerous public agencies and school boards since our inception in 2007, including assessment contract work with the Rainy River District School Board, The Northwest Catholic District School Board, Keewatin-Patricia District School Board, Kenora Catholic District School Board, WSIB, Veteran Affairs, NorWest Community Health Centre (FASD assessments) and the Northern Ontario Assessment Resource Centre – NOARC (assessment work for Lakehead University and Confederation College), as well as with over 30 Indigenous communities.

We offer a wide range of assessment services including psychological, psychoeducational, ADHD, Autism and Neuropsychological assessments. At our clinic, we take a team-approach to assessments, as there is an Assessment department that completes intakes and carries out all administrative aspects related to the assessment process (i.e., sending the referral package, booking interviews and feedbacks, tracking progress, billing, following-up on missing questionnaires, etc.). Psychometrists complete testing locally and within the surrounding area and several senior psychometrists are available to write reports (i.e., mental health, learning, ADHD assessments) for Psychologists who are interested in collaborating on reports.
