Heart Berry Psychology is in Suite 850 at 700 4th Avenue SW in the McFarlane Tower.

Please note that the building’s doors will be locked during evenings and weekends. If you have an appointment during these times, Tishina will meet you downstairs and bring you up to our office to settle in.

During regular office hours, you are welcome to help yourself to Bubly, tea, and snacks in the Riverwest Therapy Collective lobby while you wait for your appointment.

Street parking is also available in the surrounding area. We recommend allowing extra time for parking before your appointment.

We enjoy working with students, neurodivergent individuals, and those who would like person-centred experience. This means engaging in services that are tailored to your unique experiences, strengths, and challenges rather than a one-size-fits-all approach.

We take a similar approach when completing our in-depth assessments, which are tailored to each client's unique strengths and challenges in an evidence-based, supportive, culturally responsive environment.

Heart Berry Psychology is able to complete psychological assessments with children, teens, and adults. Tishina previously worked as a school psychologist in Manitoba and enjoys working with children and teens! However, at this time, therapy services are limited to individuals aged 16 years and older.

We are happy to host virtual therapy sessions and psychological assessment services. However, certain components of an assessment must be completed in person at our downtown Calgary office.

During a complimentary 45-minute consultation, Tishina will discuss which options might be best for your needs and clarify any questions regarding the assessment process.

Psychological assessments are a significant investment because they involve an extensive time commitment and clinical resources. The process includes in-depth clinical interviews, standardized testing, scoring, analysis, and a comprehensive written report with tailored recommendations.

In addition to direct testing time, clinicians spend many hours interpreting results, writing reports, and providing personalized feedback. Assessments also require the use of specialized, standardized tools that are costly to administer and score.

At Heart Berry Psychology, we strive to ensure that assessments are thorough, meaningful, and provide valuable insights that can guide academic, career, and personal decisions.

For your assessment, we recommend bringing any previous school reports and clinical documents relevant to the assessment (i.e., existing assessment reports) that may help provide a fuller picture of your history and support needs. If additional documents are required, Tishina will discuss them with you prior or during your initial appointment.

Payment for therapy and assessments is due on the day of the service. A receipt will be provided upon payment, which may be submitted for insurance or reimbursement purposes if applicable.
