Christin Tyerman, Registered Psychologist

Christin practices from learning, sensory processing, and strength based approach. She believes that accurate clinical diagnosis is critical for accessing services and for understanding behaviour, development, and mental health needs. She is also passionate about the Social Model of Disabilities and minimizing the barriers that prevent opportunities for equality and inclusion in day to day life. She believes families are experts on their children, and that their perspectives and experiences are integral to all forms of service. She believes in a holistic, team approach that includes health, family, community, and sustainability in her interventions. 

Christin completed her Masters of Counselling in Educational Psychology in 2016 from the University of Calgary. She has an undergraduate degree in Criminal Justice and began her career working with youth in the legal system. Her time there allowed for exposure to court-ordered assessments and provided a strong base for diagnostics, multi-disciplinary treatment, and psychometric testing. This foundation set the stage for her passion in assessment and complex cases and a clinical specialization in neurodevelopmental disorders including Autism Spectrum.
