Rachel Tober, Registered Psychologist

Rachel Tober is an assessment psychologist with a strong focus on helping individuals and families gain clarity, understanding, and direction through psychological assessment. She conducts comprehensive evaluations for children, teens, and adults to explore learning, attention, emotional, behavioral, and neurodevelopmental concerns, including ADHD, learning disorders, giftedness, and autism.

Rachel believes that assessment is not just about scores or diagnoses, but about understanding the whole person. She takes a strengths-based, trauma-informed approach and is mindful of the emotional experience that often accompanies the assessment process. Her goal is for clients to feel supported, respected, and empowered every step of the way.

Rachel’s reports are geared towards being clear, practical, and individualized. She places strong emphasis on providing actionable recommendations that help clients advocate for appropriate supports and move forward with confidence.

Assessment Types

  • A person wearing a denim jacket and white shirt holding books and a pink notebook, carrying a grey backpack, with colorful ladybug patches on their shirt, standing outdoors on a concrete surface.

    Psychoeducational

    Psychological evaluations pinpoint both strong and weak aspects within a student's learning profile, addressing inquiries regarding cognitive, educational, social, emotional, behavioral, and adaptive capabilities. These evaluations are commonly administered to individuals across various age groups, spanning from young children to adults (Kindergarten to Grade 12).

  • A child with short hair holding a red paper heart on a wooden floor, viewed from above.

    Autism (ASD)

    A Social-Emotional evaluation is carried out with the purpose of gaining deeper insight into an individual's internal experiences by delving into their emotions, thoughts, coping strategies, and perceptions of both themselves and the world around them. This type of assessment is advised when an individual displays emotional challenges (like anxiety or depression) or behavioral concerns.

  • A young person with curly blond hair, wearing a grey hoodie, looking at their phone with a focused expression, sitting on a couch with a background of green trees outside a window.

    ADHD

    Attention-Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a condition characterized by a persistent struggle to manage attention, emotions, and conduct. ADHD is characterized by three primary behaviors: inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity. Challenges with concentration, organization, patience, self-discipline, and possibly weak social abilities can persist into adulthood.

  • A young boy with blond hair stacking colorful foam blocks with letters and images, some sitting on a table and some stacked in front of him.

    Gifted

    Giftedness is recognized when a child's intellectual capacity (as measured by FSIQ or General Ability Index, GAI) falls within the range of 130 (+/- 5). Assessing giftedness is valuable in establishing whether a child meets the criteria for participation in specialized educational initiatives designed for those identified as gifted.
