Our Team

Shawna Allen is completing her Supervised Practice in School and Clinical psychology at Wonderwise Psychology. She provides evidence- based treatment to children and adolescents with a range of presenting concerns, including anxiety, low mood, academic concerns, attentional difficulties, executive functioning challenges, and behavioural problems. Although Shawna primarily utilizes evidence-based approaches, such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Dialectical Behavioural Therapy, she strives to individualize treatment to best meet the needs of children, youth, and their families.

Shawna also has experience conducting comprehensive psychological and psychoeducational assessments for children and adolescents with learning challenges, attentional difficulties, autism spectrum disorder, intellectual disabilities, and other mental health concerns.

Shawna completed her Psy.D. in Clinical Psychology at the Chicago School of Professional Psychology in Chicago, Illinois. During her graduate training, she gained experience working in a variety of settings, including academic medical centres, hospitals, private practices, and schools. She completed her pre-doctoral residency through the Ontario Institute for Students in Education (OISE) within the University of Toronto, where she worked at Broadview Psychology and the Toronto District School Board (TDSB).
