Meet our Psychologist

I know that contacting a psychologist often comes after a long period of questions, worry, or trying to manage things on your own. You may be concerned about your child’s learning or behaviour, wondering whether ADHD or autism could explain certain experiences, or looking for clarity about difficulties affecting your own life.

You do not need to arrive with the right words or know which assessment to request. We can begin with what you have noticed.

I am Jeta Dedja, a psychologist and member of the Ordre des psychologues du Québec, with more than 20 years of experience working with children, adolescents, adults, families, and schools.

I am a graduate of McGill University, and my professional experience includes working as a school psychologist with the English Montreal School Board and, more recently, the New Frontiers School Board. I am also a member of the RPPSPNIQ- the Gathering of Psychologists and Psychotherapists Working with First Nations and Inuit in Quebec and a registered provider with the Non-Insured Health Benefits (NIHB) Mental Health Counselling Program through Indigenous Services Canada, providing eligible First Nations and Inuit clients with access to covered psychological services.

My work includes psychoeducational, Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), autism, dyslexia and learning-disability assessments; adult psycho-diagnostic assessments; psychological evaluations for humanitarian and compassionate immigration applications; school derogation assessments for early admission; and evaluations for English-language eligibility. I also offer therapy and parent consultation.

What matters to me is looking beyond a symptom, behaviour, or test score. Behaviour is information, but it is never the whole story. I take time to understand each person’s development, strengths, relationships, culture, and everyday environment. I then bring this information together with standardized assessment results and current scientific evidence.

I want the process to feel clear and respectful. I explain what we are assessing, what the findings mean, and how they connect to everyday life. My reports are designed not only to answer important questions, but also to provide practical recommendations that can be used at home, at school, at work, or in treatment.

Most importantly, I want the people who come to the clinic to feel heard, understood, and comfortable asking questions. Reaching out is enough for the first step. We can decide together what would be most helpful next.
