About Me

Roy F. Thompson, M.A., C.Psych

Psychologist/Private Practice

I am the primary psychology practitioner with Thompson Psychological Services. I have been providing mental health services to clients in Northern Ontario since 1999. I was licensed to practice psychology independently in June 2005 and have offered a wide range of psychological services to guide clients through life’s challenges and most trying times.

Life can be challenging, and sometimes a little help from a professional Psychologist can make things better. I care about your well-being and provide you all the tools you need in order to seize the day and learn how to tackle even the most traumatic circumstances.

MY CREDENTIALS

When it comes to your mental health and well-being, it’s important to have a knowledgeable certified professional you can turn to. Over the years, I’ve provided psychological services to clients throughout Northern Ontario. My expertise covers a broad spectrum of mental health services, and I’m happy to share my experience and qualifications. Check them out below, and call today for a consultation.

EDUCATION AND EXPERIENCE

I obtained an Honours Bachelor of Arts degree from Laurentian University in 1996 and a Master of Arts degree in Clinical Psychology from Lakehead University in 2000.

To qualify for registration to practice psychology in Ontario, I completed 5 years of post-masters supervision in Thunder Bay, Sault Ste. Marie, and Sudbury working with children, adolescents, adults, couples, and families. In June 2005, I was registered for independent practice with the College of Psychologists of Ontario (CPO) . In addition to providing counselling, psychotherapy, consultation, and psychological assessments for a wide variety of mental health, learning, and neurodevelopmental problems, I am actively involved in promoting evidence-informed practices and analyzing treatment outcomes at Algoma Family Services in Sault Ste. Marie. I also provide clinical supervision to qualifying psychological associates and psychologists.

For over 20 years I have provided mental health training presentations to health care professionals and other allied community members (e.g., teachers, probation officers, & police). Areas of past research have included personality, social learning, anxiety and depression, meditation/mindfulness, neurodevelopmental disorders, and evidence-based mental health practices. In addition, I am fluently bilingual in French and English.
