B.A. (Hons.), MFT (Cert.), M.A.
P.A. (Independent Practice)
Registered with the Psychological Association of Manitoba to practice independently, and a member with Manitoba Psychological Society, Manitoba Association Of School Psychologists, and permanently certified School Psychologist with Manitoba Education.
I have worked in private practice since 2008, as a School Psychologist with the Child Guidance Clinic of Winnipeg, and in various other public sector settings, including St. Amant Centre, Klinic Community Health, and Osborne House. My focus is on assessment and diagnosis of conditions such as Intellectual Disability, ADHD, FASD, Autism Spectrum Disorders, Specific Learning Disorders, anxiety, and depression. My school psychology training and experience allows me to work collaboratively with all those in the child’s context: teachers, school clinical team, parents, other professionals (for example psychiatry, paediatricians, Child and Family Services, etc). My goal is to assist children, schools, and families by identifying any limiting factors in the child’s context and working collaboratively with the child’s team to develop plans for how to support them in optimizing their performance.

Zofia Kozub
B.A. (Hons), M.A.
Clinical Associate
Work supervised by Kristin Meyer
I graduated with my Master’s degree in School Psychology from the University of Manitoba in 2022. In addition to private practice, I am passionate about working in schools with students, families, caregivers, and school teams. I believe children grow and learn best when they feel safe, connected, and understood. My goal — through the assessment process and in the reports that follow — is to reflect these values while highlighting each child’s strengths and providing practical reccomendations to support their growth.

B.A.
Psychometrist
Work supervised by Kristin Meyer
I hold a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from the University of Manitoba in addition to a Diploma from Red River College Polytechnic. I have spent the vast majority of my career working within Manitoba’s child welfare system - with a significant focus on supporting children and families with disabilities.
As a Metis person, my focus of assessment is in supporting families to navigate complex, colonial systems while honoring the gifts and strengths of our children.
My areas of focus include Intellectual Disability, Autism Spectrum Disorder, Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder, and Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder.
My passion for advocacy, keen eye for pattern recognition and strong attention to detail serve as an asset when supporting children and their networks to plan to ensure they have the knowledge they need to advocate for and access supports.
Glenn Allard
B.A., M.A. CSC
Director of Northern Affairs
Work supervised by Kristin Meyer
I graduated from the University of Manitoba with a BA and MA in Psychology. I worked for 36 years as a certified School Psychologist in the Winnipeg school division (Child Guidance Clinic and Clinical Support Services), serving all levels from nursery to adult in all areas of the city. I have always valued a strong connection with the parents of the children with whom I work. Schools are an incredibly important partner in the wider circle of children's lives, and integral for ensuring all children achieve the best they can to live happy fulfilling lives. Psychology, working in collaboration with parents and schools, is critical to children’s success.
I was enticed out of retirement with the opportunity to begin providing assessment services to the Northern regions of Manitoba––an area that has long been greatly underserved. My trips North have been very gratifying and have each time provided me with new valuable insights into the lives of fellow Manitobans.
I look forward to more opportunities to grow and experience life in the North and to offer my service to support Frontier School Division children and youth in any way I can.
