Meet Nichola
Registered Psychologist
Hello and welcome!
My name is Nichola Cross, and I am a Registered Psychologist who offers support for children, teens, and adults in the Calgary area. I complete a variety of comprehensive assessments to help you or your child understand your learning profile and provide strategies to set you up for success. My aim is to help you expand your knowledge, capitalize on your strengths, and provide evidence-based strategies to support your growth at school, at work, and/ or approaching daily tasks.
I earned my Master’s Degree in School and Applied Child Psychology from the University of Calgary, and I am a registered member with the College of Alberta Psychologists and the Psychologists’ Association of Alberta. Before starting my own private practice, I worked for 4 years in a setting that specialized in LDs & ADHD, while also serving a specialized school. I then worked for several years within a school board where I supported students with moderate to severe intellectual disabilities with comorbid disorders. Additionally, I worked for other private practices before starting my own. I’m always honoured when asked to partner with individuals to put all the pieces of the puzzle together to help enhance your success!
I look forward to meeting you!
Meet Melanie
Registered Provisional Psychologist
Hello! My name is Melanie, and I am a Registered Provisional Psychologist. I hold a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology, a Master of Arts in Child and Youth Studies, and a Master of Science in School and Applied Child Psychology. Alongside my academic background, I have extensive experience supporting high-risk youth with complex needs within the child welfare system.
My current focus is on conducting psychoeducational assessments with children and youth to explore learning, cognitive, and social-emotional challenges. I strive to develop a comprehensive understanding of each child’s learning profile while also recognizing their individual strengths. I prioritize contextualizing assessment results in a practical way and aim to offer meaningful recommendations to help support your child’s growth. Outside of my work, I enjoy embracing my nerdy side through video games, anime, and fantasy novels.
I look forward to the opportunity to work with you and your child!
Melanie is currently available on Thursdays and Fridays.
