jenney specializes in clinical psychology and forensic psychology
Clinical psychologists integrate the science of psychology into the assessment, diagnosis, and treatment of complex human problems and mental health disorders. Clinical psychologists work with clients to assess and address the spectrum of mental, emotional, behavioural, and situational factors involved in issues such as anxiety, depression, ADHD, body-focused repetitive behaviours (BFRBs), body dysmorphia, eating disorders, hoarding, obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), schizophrenia or psychosis, and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).
Clinical psychologists might also train future psychologists, teach in an academic setting, or perform research to develop new treatment methods.
Although both counselling and clinical psychologists practice treatment or therapy, counselling psychologists tend to focus on a client’s general well-being, whereas clinical psychologists often work with clients who are experiencing more severe or complex mental health problems.
Forensic psychologists use psychological science to address legal issues. Their expertise, assessments, and recommendations are applied in the judicial system and public safety matters. Forensic psychologists deal with a range of duties related to legal matters, including evaluating mental state or competence, assessing behaviour and functioning, providing reports to inform legal proceedings, offering expert testimony in court, and working with victims or offenders to provide treatment and rehabilitation.
