Dr. Larah Maunder

Welcome to my website! I’m a clinical and health psychologist, providing online autism/ADHD assessments part-time in Vancouver.

A small part of my practice also includes providing virtual cognitive behaviour therapy (CBT), acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), and trauma therapy to clients in the Oakville, Ontario, area.

I completed grad school at McGill University and Queen’s University. In grad school, I received lots of training and experience conducting autism and ADHD assessments. I even started-up a virtual adult ADHD assessment service at Queen’s.

During my PhD, I researched the relationship between chronic pain and PTSD in military folks. After graduating, I completed a postdoc at McMaster University. There, I studied the effects of sexual trauma on survivors and their romantic partners, and worked on a randomized controlled trial of a new treatment for PTSD. I then moved on to working in a comprehensive DBT clinic, providing treatment to folks with severe emotion regulation difficulties.

My background in trauma/PTSD and helping clients with emotion regulation difficulties can help you figure out whether neurodivergence, like autism and ADHD, is present when other emotion regulation concerns are there, too.
