WHO WE ARE

Specialized Psychological Training in Canada

Lighthouse is grounded in Prairie practicality, guided by research, and built for clinical excellence. Based in Calgary, we train provisional psychologists, early-career psychologists, and graduate students (Master’s and Doctoral) to become psychologists in child and adolescent assessment and diagnosis — translating psychometric theory into clear clinical decision-making and defensible reporting. Practical where it counts, evidence-based at the core, and held to a high clinical standard.

Three pillars

Lighthouse training framework is built on three core pillars that support structured professional development in psychological assessment and clinical practice.

01

Assessment Training

Our Assessment Training pillar focuses on developing strong foundations in standardized psychological assessment. Participants learn how to select, administer, score, and interpret cognitive, academic, and behavioural measures with accuracy and clinical insight.

Professional Practice Courses

02

Our Professional Practice Courses are designed to bridge the gap between theory and applied clinical work. These courses focus on report writing, case formulation, ethical decision-making, and integrating assessment findings into clear, professional documentation.

Supervision & Consultation

This pillar provides structured supervision and expert consultation for emerging and practicing professionals. It supports ongoing skill development, case review, and reflective practice.
