About Me

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

Psychologist/Private Practice

Welcome

Life can be overwhelming at times, and reaching out for support is a meaningful step toward change. My role as a psychologist is to provide a safe, respectful, and evidence‑informed space where you can explore challenges, build resilience, and move toward a healthier and more fulfilling life. I’ve been supporting individuals, families, and organizations across Northern Ontario since 1999, and I remain deeply committed to helping people navigate both everyday stressors and the most difficult moments in life.

Credentials and Professional Background

I have been licensed for independent practice in psychology since 2005 and have provided mental health services to children, adolescents, adults, couples, and families for more than two decades. My work spans assessment and treatment of various mental health disorders and neurodevelopmental disorders —> (see Services Offered). I have worked closely with community organizations including indigenous service providers. I continue to be actively involved in advancing evidence‑informed practice within the community.

In addition to my private practice, I work at Algoma Family Services a mental health agency located in Sault Ste. Marie providing psychological consultation and assessments throughout the Algoma District and contributing to program evaluation, treatment‑outcome analysis, and the review of emerging technology in mental health care. I also provide clinical supervision to qualifying psychological associates and psychologists, supporting the next generation of mental health professionals.

Education and Training

Master of Arts (Clinical Psychology) – Lakehead University

Honours Bachelor of Arts (Psychology) – Laurentian University

Following my graduate studies, I completed five years of supervised clinical practice in Thunder Bay, Sault Ste. Marie, and Sudbury. I am registered for autonomous practice in psychology with the College of Psychologists and Behaviour Analysts of Ontario (CPBAO) .

My training and ongoing professional development reflect a commitment to high‑quality, ethical, and evidence‑based psychological practice.

Professional Contributions

For over 20 years, I have delivered mental health training and presentations to health‑care providers, educators, probation services, police, and other community partners. My past research and areas of interest include:

Personality patterns, efficacy expectations, and performance
Relaxation techniques and their effects on anxiety
Anxiety, depressive, and trauma-related disorders
Neurodevelopmental disorders including ADHD, learning disorders/disabilities, autism spectrum disorder, and intellectual disabilities
Evidence‑based mental health assessment and treatment

I am fluently bilingual and offer services in both English and French.

Before Registration

Mental Health Counsellor / Psychometrist (1999–2004)

Before becoming a registered for independent practice in psychology, I worked under the supervision of regulated professionals providing counselling, psychotherapy, and psychometric assessment services to children, adolescents, adults, couples, and families. This early experience shaped my understanding of client needs and strengthened my commitment to accessible, high‑quality assessment and treatment.
