Nichola Cross, M.E.d

Registered Psychologist

  • Hello and welcome! ​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

    I am a psychologist that offers support to children, teens, and adults in Calgary and online throughout Alberta. I provide a supportive space for children and teens to talk and learn new ways to cope. I also conduct a variety of assessments to help provide you with a greater understanding of how you or your child learns while giving you strategies to enhance school success.

    I earned my Masters of Education in School and Child Psychology from the University of Calgary and am trained in cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT). I have also completed additional education at the Rocky Mountain Play Therapy Institute where I obtained a certificate in play therapy and hold a Post-Master's Certificate in Trauma-Informed Clinical Practice from New York University.​​

    Prior to entering private practice I worked for several years as a psychologist at the Calgary Board of Education. I have also worked with families receiving assistance through Family Support for Children with Disabilities (FSCD) and supported adults through the Never Too Late Program at Catholic Family Services.

    I have experience in assessment and counselling for ADHD, learning disorders, intellectual disorders, giftedness, behavioral difficulties, trauma, and emotional concerns.

    I look forward to meeting you!

  • My name is Nichola Cross, and I am a Registered Psychologist who offers gifted assessments and child and adult ADHD assessments to help you or your child understand your learning profile and provide strategies to set you up for success. My aim is to help you expand your knowledge, capitalize on your strengths, and provide evidence-based strategies to support your growth at school, at work, and/ or approaching daily tasks.

    I earned my Master’s Degree in School and Applied Child Psychology from the University of Calgary, and I am a registered member with the College of Alberta Psychologists and the Psychologists’ Association of Alberta. Before working in private practice, I worked for 4 years in a setting that specialized in LDs & ADHD, while also serving a specialized school. I then worked for several years within a school board where I supported students with moderate to severe intellectual disabilities with comorbid disorders. I’m always honoured when asked to partner with individuals to put all the pieces of the puzzle together to help enhance your success!
