Reviews of Erica Baker Psychological Services Limited (Psychologist)

I had the pleasure of working with Caitlin Neily while working through my son's ASD diagnoses and found her to her to be professional, knowledgable, and extremely compassionate. She was flexible wth her schedule allowing for home and school visits and I often got detailed email follow-ups after appointments. I would highly recommend seeking advice for this clinic.

I'd written to Erica Baker's office requesting help for a family member who needed an urgent psych-ed assessment. This was made clear in an earlier email and an intake appointment was scheduled. My wife poured her heart out during the appointment today but started to feel as though she weren't being listened to. Then, only after the intake process was over, she was told that they couldn't book an assessment until April. I feel that Erika Baker's office should have been upfront with this information, knowing that our child was in a vulnerable position and required urgent assistance. It felt like a bit of an underhanded tactic waiting for my wife to finish an emotionally draining process before telling her this news, like we'd opt to "wait it out" after the intake portion of the process was over. We found another place that will have our child come in next week. If you require an assessment within the next few months, this is not the place to get it done.

Not updated on autism. Was stonewalled when asked to clarify reasons for suggestions.

It’s been a long time since I had my psych-Ed assessment at Erica Bakers office, with their “so advertised” adult autism expert. Though that practitioner was nice and empathetic (ish) to my situation as an adult woman looking for a diagnosis, I spent a lot of money to get a psych-ed, not an autistic assessment, to be told they just weren’t capable of giving me a diagnosis. After years of searching for a diagnosis, I found the support I needed and I have finally received my autism diagnosis by a therapist that my doctor endorses. I’m not writing this to be malicious, and am trying to give a neutral rating because I doubt they are a bad place for everyone. But knowing there are few options for adult autism diagnosis, if any, in Halifax, I don’t want others in my same desperate situation forking out money they can’t afford to find out later this office is not capable of diagnosing, and has very misguided understanding of, autism presentation in adult women with high intelligence.
