Marilyne Dragon, M.A., is a doctoral student in the Clinical Psychology program at Concordia University. Her doctoral research examined how infants and preschool-aged children learn through imitation.

​

As part of her clinical training, Marilyne has provided psychological assessment and psychotherapy services to children, adolescents, and young adults across a variety of clinical settings, including the Child Psychiatry Outpatient Department at the Jewish General Hospital, the Montreal Neuropsychology Center, and Elevate Psychotherapy and Wellness Clinic. Most recently, she completed her year-long clinical residency at the Montreal Children's Hospital, where she gained extensive experience working with a diverse range of pediatric and adolescent populations.

​

Her assessment experience includes the evaluation of a broad range of cognitive, learning, developmental, and emotional concerns, including learning disabilities, attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), anxiety, intellectual disability, and autism spectrum disorder (ASD). In psychotherapy, she has worked with individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, encopresis, eating disorders, feeding difficulties, emotion regulation challenges, chronic pain, and suicidal ideation.

​

Marilyne takes an integrative approach to therapy, tailoring treatment to each individual's unique needs by drawing on evidence-based principles from cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), and humanistic therapy.

 

She is known for her warm, calm, and collaborative style and enjoys using creative, developmentally appropriate strategies to actively engage children and adolescents throughout the therapeutic process.
