I am a Registered Clinical Psychologist with extensive experience working with children, adolescents, and young adults. I have expertise in the assessment and treatment of a wide variety of issues including attention and behaviour problems, learning problems, autism spectrum disorders, social-emotional problems, and giftedness.
My experience within Alberta Health Services has provided me with the skills to work with individuals with complex presentations. In terms of assessment, I follow best practice guidelines for the diagnosis of developmental, behavioural, and learning problems. I gather information from parents and teachers as well as conducting direct assessments with children, adolescents, and/or young adults.

Dr. Humbke's post-secondary education began with the completion of a Bachelor of Science degree with a Specialization in Psychology at the University of Alberta. Dr. Humbke continued her studies at the University of Calgary where she received her Masters of Science and Ph. D. in Clinical Psychology (CPA accredited program).
I view the assessment process as a puzzle - putting the pieces together to gain the best understanding of your child/adolescent, or for yourself as a young adult. Assessments involve identifying individual strengths and weaknesses and determining how to use strengths to bolster weaknesses. The therapeutic relationship is one of the most important factors in therapy; thus, it is crucial that you feel like the "fit" is a good one.
Completion by parents of a developmental history as well as clinical rating scales as required. Approximately 4 hours of direct assessment (typically conducted over two separate sessions) including a measure to identify cognitive strengths and weaknesses and a measure to determine academic progress.
