Dr. Charlene Barva
Registered Psychologist
Psychological Assessment and Testing
I am a Registered Psychologist (and Certified Educator) with more than 24 years of clinical experience working with children, adolescents, adults, and families. I earned my Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) in Clinical, School & Community Psychology from the University of Calgary in 2005, and have also attained Master of Science (1998, University of Calgary), Bachelor of Education (1990, University of Lethbridge), and Bachelor of Arts (1984, University of Alberta) degrees. My experience encompasses public, clinical, and private educational settings providing assessment (cognitive and social-emotional testing), consultation, and remedial intervention to children, adolescents, and adults in the areas of Specific Learning Disorders, Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder, Intellectual Disabilities, Giftedness, and Mood Disorders, to name a few. Additionally, I am actively involved in the training and supervision of graduate students in the provision of psycho-educational services in a school-based setting, bringing to this work a background rich in diverse, and multicultural educational issues.
In addition to assessment, my training also includes providing mental health services for children and adolescents in a large public school system in Western Canada with a wide range of mental health issues including anxiety and panic disorders, depression and other mood disorders, trauma and PTSD, attention deficit disorders, anger management, identity transformation, self-esteem issues, and eating disorders. I use a strength-based neuroscience-driven approach, one that provides assistance and guidance, while focusing on the resources, strength, and problem-solving potentials of both the individual and the family. I believe that change is possible for every child and family with hope, belief, and consistent purposeful micro actions. While I recognize that therapy can be demanding, I am convinced that the effort invested is ultimately rewarding.
I have served on various professional committees and Boards, and have presented at a number of conferences locally, nationally and internationally. I am a member of the College of Psychologists of BC, the College of Alberta Psychologists Association, and the Canadian Psychological Association. Outside of work, you can find me outdoors in nature enjoying sports like running, hiking, biking, snowshoeing, and skiing; reading; and/or hanging out with my significant other and beloved two furry companions, Ryeli and Jaspr.

Registered Psychologist
Psychological Assessment and Testing
I specialize in Psychological Testing and Assessments for children, youth, and adults.
I hold a Master of Education degree in School and Applied Child Psychology from the University of Calgary. Since the completion of my graduate studies, my expertise and interest lie in assessing and addressing the unique needs of children, youth, and adults within educational and clinical settings. I have training, and supervision in conducting psychological assessments in the areas of Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), Intellectual Disabilities, Specific Learning Disorders, Anxiety, and Depression.
My goal while working with every client, is to provide useful information, tailored recommendations, and create a space in which you feel comfortable asking questions, learning about the assessment and outcome, and feel confident applying the shared information in your everyday life.
I stem from a highly collaborative and strength-based approach in order to make you feel involved and supported.
It is my belief that in order to make a true impact, there needs to be collaboration with multiple people who impact an individual’s life. Working with, and collaborating with parents, families, teachers, and involved healthcare professionals is a key step towards making positive change. The relationship that is created during an assessment needs to have a foundation of trust, respect, and compassion.
My goal for anyone who walks through my door is that they leave feeling more confident, understood, supported, and equipped with the knowledge they need in order to better learn, grow, advocate, and making positive changes.
I have multiple years of experience supporting individuals, families, and schools through the challenges they face and have a strong appreciation for the challenges you may be experiencing. Additionally, my experience working in various settings with these different populations provides me with a valuable skill in truly being able to empathize different points of view and tie that experience together to ensure everyone feels heard, supported, and understood.
