About Affirming Mental Health Services

---

Healey is a registered clinical psychologist who provides comprehensive psychological assessment services for adolescents and adults in Thunder Bay and across Ontario. She holds a doctoral degree in clinical psychology and is registered with the College of Psychologists and Behaviour Analysts of Ontario (CPBAO). Healey’s work focuses exclusively on psychological testing and assessment, with a strong commitment to culturally responsive, LGBTQIA+ affirming care.

Healey completed her Honours Bachelor of Arts degree in Psychology at Lakehead University before relocating to Windsor, Ontario, where she completed both her Master’s degree and PhD in Clinical Psychology, graduating in 2021. She completed her residency year at The Ottawa Hospital, gaining advanced training in psychological assessment and clinical work with complex presentations. A born and raised resident of Thunder Bay, Healey returned home following her residency year, later completing her supervised practice year while working virtually with two Southern Ontario clinics: The Centre for Psychology and Emotion Regulation and The Firestone CBT Clinic. She has since transitioned back to in-person work in Thunder Bay.

Throughout her training and career, Healey has developed significant expertise in psychological assessment with adolescents and adults who present with complex and overlapping concerns. Her assessment experience includes presentations involving Autism, ADHD, trauma, emotion regulation difficulties, personality disorders, depression, anxiety, and comorbid conditions. She has extensive experience working with clients from diverse backgrounds, including individuals who are neurodivergent, gender diverse, sexually diverse, and culturally diverse. Healey is particularly passionate about helping clients better understand their own patterns, strengths, and needs through thoughtful, individualized assessment.

At Affirming Thunder Bay, Healey provides a range of psychological assessments designed to support diagnostic clarity, self understanding, and informed next steps for care. Her approach to testing is collaborative, respectful, and affirming, with particular attention to providing LGBTQIA+ affirming psychological assessments. She understands that assessment can feel vulnerable or intimidating, and she prioritizes helping clients feel safe, seen, and understood throughout the process.

Healey is a member in good standing with the College of Psychologists and Behaviour Analysts of Ontario. Outside of work, she enjoys spending time with her dog Koga, being outdoors, and connecting with friends and family. Returning to Thunder Bay has been a meaningful full circle moment in her career, and she is proud to offer high quality psychological assessment services to the community she calls home.
