DR. BRONWYN LAMOND
School and Clinical Psychologist in Supervised Practice (she/her)
ABOUT ME
I received my doctorate in School and Clinical Child Psychology (CPA accredited) in 2023. I completed my predoctoral residency at the Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario (CHEO) where she received intensive training in assessment for autism spectrum disorder, treatment for eating disorders, family therapy, and individual psychotherapy. I also trained at SickKids, the Toronto District School Board, the OISE Psychology Clinic, Family Psychology Centre, and other private practices. Prior to training as a psychologist, I received a Master’s degree in Child Study and Education from OISE/University of Toronto, during which I trained and was certified as an elementary and special education teacher.
I have training and experience in a number of evidenced-based treatments, including Cognitive-Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Emotion-Focused Family Therapy (EFFT), Solution-Focused Family Therapy, Family-Based Treatment for Eating Disorders, Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) skills, and parent management training.
