Dr. Kerry Wells, C.Psych. (He/Him)

Dr. Kerry Wells, C. Psych., is a registered Clinical and School Psychologist and Director of Psychoeducational Services at Flourish. With extensive experience supporting children and adolescents across clinical, educational, community, and residential settings, Kerry brings deep expertise in assessing and understanding complex learning, developmental, emotional, and behavioural profiles.

At Flourish, Kerry provides leadership and clinical oversight across our assessment services. He supervises psychologists and assessment clinicians, supports complex case consultation, and plays a key role in training and mentoring our team of psychometrists. His leadership helps ensure that assessments across the clinic are comprehensive, evidence-based, thoughtful, and grounded in a nuanced understanding of each individual.

Kerry earned his Ph.D. in Clinical-Developmental Psychology from York University and has worked across schools, government programs and agencies, residential settings, and private practice. His career has also included significant work with Indigenous children and youth in rural and remote communities throughout Ontario, contributing to a broad understanding of how development, learning, mental health, family, culture, and environment intersect.

Kerry has extensive experience in psychoeducational and psychological assessment, including considerable expertise in assessing autism and other neurodevelopmental differences. He has worked with children and adolescents presenting with autism, attention and executive functioning differences, learning challenges, anxiety, mood concerns, and complex or overlapping profiles. His approach to assessment is comprehensive and thoughtful, emphasizing understanding the whole child rather than simply identifying areas of difficulty. He translates assessment findings into meaningful, practical recommendations that families, schools, and care teams can use to better understand and support a young person.

In addition to assessment and consultation, Kerry provides evidence-based intervention using trauma-informed approaches as well as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). Across his work, he brings together extensive clinical experience, a strong understanding of child development and learning, and a compassionate, collaborative approach to helping young people understand themselves and thrive.
