How We Create & Review Our Content

Our Commitment to Evidence-Based Practice

At Creative Sky Psychology, the clinical information we share is grounded in established psychological research and shaped by real experience supporting children, teens, and families here in Calgary. Our goal is to provide parents with accurate, compassionate, and current information they can use in everyday life, without oversimplifying complex concerns or sensationalizing childhood challenges.

We write about anxiety, ADHD, autism, OCD, trauma, and the everyday experiences of childhood in the same way a psychologist might explain them to a parent: warmly, clearly, and with respect for how much families already understand about their own children.

How Our Content Is Created

Our articles, service pages, and parent resources are developed with input from registered and provisionally registered psychologists on our clinical team. Content draws on established psychological research, recognized clinical frameworks, and practical experience working with children, adolescents, and families.

Rather than simply repeating diagnostic descriptions, we focus on helping families understand what may be happening beneath a child's behaviour, why certain challenges develop, and which approaches may help. Our intention is to make psychological information accessible while recognizing that every child's circumstances, strengths, and needs are different.

Our Clinical Review Process

Clinical information published by Creative Sky Psychology is developed with input from our clinical team and reviewed for accuracy, clarity, and alignment with established psychological research. Our review process considers current evidence, recognized approaches to psychological care, and the developmental needs of children and adolescents.

We revisit content as research, professional guidance, and clinical practices evolve. Substantive updates are made when necessary to ensure the information remains accurate and useful for families. Where a page has received a documented clinical review, we may identify the reviewing psychologist and the relevant review date.

Author Credentials

Our clinical team includes registered and provisionally registered psychologists regulated by the College of Alberta Psychologists (CAP), the professional regulatory body for psychologists in Alberta. You can learn more about their professional backgrounds, training, specializations, and areas of practice by visiting our team of Calgary child psychologists.

Creative Sky Psychology was founded by Shannon Kelly, Registered Psychologist, who brings over 20 years of experience supporting children and families. Her clinical experience and leadership help shape the clinic's commitment to thoughtful, individualized psychological care.

Client Confidentiality & Testimonials

Protecting our clients' privacy is a professional and ethical responsibility we take seriously. In keeping with our professional obligations, Creative Sky Psychology does not publish client testimonials or reviews on our website.

We respect the confidentiality of the families we support and do not use identifiable client information or clinical experiences in promotional content without appropriate authorization. Instead, we aim to demonstrate our approach through clear educational resources, professional information, and open communication with families considering our services.

Update Frequency

We update individual pages when meaningful changes occur in research, professional guidance, available services, or clinic information. A page's last-updated date reflects its most recent content revision and does not necessarily indicate that a separate clinical review took place on that date.
