Dr. Kerry Lawson

I have autonomous practice in the areas of clinical neuropsychology, rehabilitation psychology and clinical psychology. I attained my degree in Clinical Psychology at the University of Ottawa in 1986.  This was followed by post-doctoral training in the field of Rehabilitation Psychology completed in 1998 and in Clinical Neuropsychology completed in 2003.  I have obtained experience in hospitals, joint hospital-private firms, and private practice settings.  I have gained experience in conducting various types of assessments and in providing psychological services for patients who were dealing with issues such as spinal cord injury, head injuries, multiple sclerosis, chronic pain, somatoform symptomatology, and congenital disabilities.  I have developed expertise in generating psychological, neuropsychological, and vocational assessments and have acquired skills in determining the causes and consequences of disability and catastrophic impairment.  This includes various psychological syndromes such as depression, anxiety, phobias, pain syndromes, abnormal illness roles, and posttraumatic symptomatology.
