Ruo Ying Feng

Hi there! My name is Ruo and I am a Ph.D. practicum student in Clinical Psychology at the University of Ottawa. I provide evidence-based psychological assessment and intervention services to children, adolescents, and families in English, under the supervision of Dr. Rebecca Moore. My areas of interest and practice include difficulties with mood, anxiety, trauma, OCD, and emotion regulation, as well as behavioural difficulties and neurodevelopmental concerns (e.g., ASD, ADHD, giftedness, learning disabilities). I also have experience working with parents to help address their parenting challenges. I use a warm, empathetic, strength-based, and client-centered approach, and I am dedicated to incorporating culturally informed and competent care into my practice.

Prior to working at Kanata Psychology and Counselling Centre, I have worked with children, adolescents, adults, and groups in school, private practice, and community settings. My doctoral research centers around understanding the barriers and facilitators to seeking help and accessing mental health services among immigrant youth, with an emphasis on stigma, intersectionality, and racial discrimination.
