Meet Nicole Sheldon
Registered Psychologist, BEd, MEd
I'm passionate about supporting children to find success in their lives, and for families to find more peace and calm.
I've been working with kids since the late 1980s when I began my career as a youth worker.
My professional background includes over 20 years as a child psychologist, 5 years as a special education teacher, 4 years as a faculty instructor including teaching graduate courses in psychoeducational assessments, and a stint working in the court system.
I also bring my personal background. I had a difficult childhood, I hated school, and I got myself into a lot of trouble as a youth. This gives me a great deal of understanding and empathy to support the children I work with. I get them.
My clients often comment on my ability to quickly connect with their children and see their gifts and strengths, not just their struggles.
I'm straightforward and honest - I'll give you real world, practical advice to help you support and advocate for your child.
