Erin McCormick Clinic Director Clinical & Forensic Psychologist, M.A., C. Psych.

I am a registered clinical and forensic psychologist with more than 20 years experience. I worked for two decades in Correctional Services Canada, providing psychological services and supervising mental health clinicians. I have held management positions including Chief Psychologist, Intermediate Mental Health Services, Kingston Penitentiary; Chief Psychologist, Mental Health Services, Millhaven Institution; and Chief Psychologist, Acute Unit, Regional Treatment Centre. I then worked for the Department of National Defence with members of the Armed Forces as a clinical and operational psychologist in an operational unit. During this time, I maintained a private practice clinic, providing therapy to adults and adolescents.

More recently, I have worked at Springboard Clinic as a Supervising Psychologist specializing in treating people with attention and focus challenges, including those diagnosed with ADHD (Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder). I use evidenced-based treatment determined by the presenting issues and goals of every individual. I am passionate about walking alongside people as they learn to accept themselves, discover their strengths and create strategies to manage their symptoms.
