About Monique

Hi, my name is Monique Dauphinais, and I am a Registered Psychologist practicing out of Calgary, Alberta.

​

Prior to joining Shirley Psychological Services in July 2024, for the past 23 years, I have specialized in child, adolescent and family therapy. In addition to this, I also see adults for numerous issues including depression, anxiety, relationship challenges, trauma, Attention Deficit and Hyperactivity Disorder and life stressors.

​

I completed my masters degree in Clinical Psychology at the University of Newcastle, Australia, in 2000 and have been working as a psychologist ever since. I have worked in both the private and public sectors including non- profits, health care, sexual assault services, interpersonal and domestic violence services, and also on both in-patient and out-patient units and community clinics. I have worked in Australia, British Columbia and Alberta.

​

My work is informed by attachment theory and the work of Dr. Gordon Neufeld, and is trauma informed. I have extensive experience in trauma-related therapy. The client therapist relationship is an important aspect of therapy and with my experience, I also bring to each session enthusiasm, empathy and a sense of humour. That, and many years of experience also as a parent on this messy, lovely and bumpy ride.
