Joanna (or "Jojo" - as the children she works with playfully refer to as) has been obsessed with how children’s brains develop for over a decade now and her experience in the field confirms this. While completing her undergraduate studies in psychology at York University, she started working as a behavioural therapist where she first dipped her toes in the field. Jo completed her graduate studies in developmental psychology at the University of Toronto and her post graduate fellowship at the University of Massachusetts Boston in infant-parent mental health where she learned directly from the gurus in the field of child mental health. From behavioural therapy to agency work at a non-profit, to conducting research at the University of Calgary, to starting her own clinical practice as a registered psychologist - one thing rings true: Jo is absolutely passionate in helping caregivers reflect on new ways to approach parenting. Her hope is for caregivers to learn these strategies in an engaging and collaborative way that ultimately benefits not only the child, but the whole family!
