Danika Quenneville

Therapist

Hello! My name is Danika, and I am a doctoral student in clinical psychology at the University of Ottawa. I provide therapy services in both French and English for children, adolescents, and families under the supervision of Dr. Amélie Morinville. My goal is to offer a warm, neuro-affirmative, authentic, and strengths-based approach for clients and their families. I am also passionate about working with neurodivergent clients.

Before joining the CAFCO team, I had the opportunity to work with children, adolescents, and families in various settings, including hospital environments (the Healthy Active Living Centre at CHEO and the Pediatric Clinic at Montfort Hospital), private practice (the Interdisciplinary Family Centre of Eastern Ontario [IFCEO] and the Ottawa Centre for Resilience [OCFR]), and community settings (the Centre for Psychological Services and Research at the University of Ottawa).
