About Shawna
Meet Dr. Shawna Gray (she/her)
I am a Registered Psychologist who supports children, youth, and their families through therapy and assessment.
I completed both my Ph.D. and Master's in School and Applied Child Psychology at the University of Calgary. I have worked in preschools, schools, community programs, and private practice settings. Across these roles, I have supported children and families in understanding emotional well-being, learning needs, and development, and in building the skills and confidence to thrive in daily life.
My approach to therapy is strengths-based, collaborative, and child-centered. I integrate Play Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), adapting sessions to each child’s developmental needs, interests, and communication style. My priority is to create a warm, supportive space where children feel safe, understood, and empowered to express themselves in ways that feel natural to them.
I provide psychological assessments to help families understand a child’s learning profile, emotional well-being, and developmental needs. I commonly support questions related to learning differences and giftedness, ADHD, autism, intellectual disabilities, anxiety, and mood concerns. My goal is to offer clear and meaningful insights, along with practical recommendations that can support children at home, at school, and in their day-to-day lives.
Before becoming a psychologist, I spent many years supporting children in classroom and care environments. These experiences continue to shape my belief in meeting children where they are, moving at their pace, and honouring their strengths and stories.
The values that guide my work are respect, collaboration, gentleness, and curiosity.
Outside of work, I enjoy reading, walking my dogs, hiking, riding my horse, and spending time with friends and family.
