Dr. Michelle Gilpin,
Psychologist

 

Welcome!! I have been a full time psychologist for the past 6 years. Prior to that time, I worked for several years (too many to count!) as a psychometrist in a children’s rehabilitation centre. I then returned to school and completed my Ph.D. in Developmental Psychology at the University of Guelph. (go Gryphons!!). I currently work part time in a public school board and run a private practice just outside London. I enjoy working with children of all ages and their families! Feel free to contact me if you have questions about clinical work with children, working in a multidisciplinary setting, consulting work or starting a private practice. If you just need support and a way to get connected within our friendly and energetic professional community, you’ve come to the place!! All the Best.

Hello! I still feel fairly new to the city myself, even though I've now lived here since 2004. I work at the Child & Parent Resource Institute (CPRI) on the west side of London, which is a tertiary-care facility for children & adolescents. As an employee for the Ontario Ministry of Children & Youth Services, and as the creator of a clinical service which partners with agencies throughout Southwestern Ontario, I would have a lot I could share in terms of youth services in and around the area and also in terms of program development. I also do a ton of presenting so could speak authoritatively on knowledge transfer in this community.

I don't currently work privately, so there are no doubt better "ambassadors" to connect with if that is your direction; nor am I registered to work with adults. At least for now...

I am an early career psychologist, (currently completing my supervised practice year) who has been in London since 2006. I feel quite fortunate to have been introduced to LRPA shortly after my arrival. LRPA has been a great resource to connect with other local psychological service providers, so I'm happy to return the favour and act as an Ambassador. London is a great city to be a psychological service provider, beacuse there is such a great professional community to be found here.

I came to London as a behavioural medicine intern at London Health Sciences Centre. I now work for a private rehabilitation company called Brainworks. The majority of our clients have been involved in a motor vehicle collision. Many of our clients have brain injuries, chronic pain, or psychiatric illnesses. I am priveleged to work with a great team within Brainworks, including a psychological associate, social workers, and rehabilitation therapists. We also work with many other health professionals in the community (including case managers, occupational therapists, physiotherapists, speech-language pathologists, vocational consultants etc.) to facilitate our clients' rehabilitation. I would be happy to share my experiences of working in the hospital and in the community in health/rehabilitation areas to any psychology personnel who are new to the area or thinking of coming to London.



If you are a LRPA member and wish to volunteer as one of our Ambassadors please indicate your interest by emailing the LRPA President.
