Jennifer Hawkins

Jennifer is a dedicated Registered Psychologist who works with children, preschoolers, and parents, providing compassionate, developmentally informed care tailored to each family's needs. She creates a safe and engaging environment where children feel understood and parents feel supported, offering preschool and child therapy, as well as early intervention for young children with developmental delays.

She specializes in anxiety in all its forms — including separation anxiety, social anxiety, selective mutism, sleep anxiety, medical and health anxiety, phobias, and panic — as well as OCD, emotional regulation, behavioural challenges, trauma and stress, and grief and loss.

Jennifer also supports children with autism and neurodiversity, ADHD and executive functioning, social communication differences, social skills and peer relationships, and giftedness. Parent coaching and parent-child therapy are central to her work, helping caregivers develop practical strategies to support their child at home.

Her warm, patient, strengths-based style makes sessions engaging and often playful or creative — weaving in play therapy, art therapy, Theraplay, and executive-functioning skills training to help children build emotional awareness, coping skills, and problem-solving abilities. She offers in-person sessions for children, and both in-person and online sessions for parent coaching.
