Meet Carmen

Hello! My name is Carmen Dominguez, and I am a Registered Psychologist specializing in assessment services, including assessments for Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) for youth aged 5 to 17 years. I have experience supporting children with various needs in my roles as a psychologist, parent and classroom teacher.  

Assessments are an important tool for families, helping them understand their child’s strengths and areas needing additional support. Assessments also empower children, teaching them how they learn, think and process the world around them. When children know what works for them and what doesn’t, they begin to self-advocate.

I take a strength-based approach to assessment, focusing on what a child excel at, while also addressing areas requiring further attention. My work is rooted in a neurodiversity-affirming framework recognizing brain differences without pathologizing them; emphasizing the value of individuality; and fostering an environment where children can thrive on their own terms.

Working from a place of compassion and empathy, I believe all children and parents do well if they can. I am committed to providing families the tools they need to overcome life's obstacles successfully.
