Our Team
Kim Schellenberg, Registered Psychologist
Assessment Services
I have always known I wanted to make a difference in people’s lives. My passion to help others led me to become a teacher and eventually pursue a Masters degree in Psychology. As a registered psychologist in the Grande Prairie area, I am committed to the well-being of all my clients and strive to go above and beyond to cater to their needs.
I have been practicing in the area of education and school psychology since 2008. In addition to being a practicing psychologist I have been a teacher, school mental health therapist, and school administrator.
I specialize in and provide all assessments at Achieve Psychological Services. I focus on providing a clear understanding of the needs of children and creating plans to help teachers meet those needs within the classroom.

Amanda Chandler, MA Counselling Psychology
REGISTERED PROVISIONAL PSYCHOLOGIST
Counselling for children (10+), youth, adults and couples
I graduated from Yorkville University with a Master of Arts in Counselling Psychology in 2022. I am a Registered Provisional Psychologist with the College of Alberta Psychologists. In addition to working in a counselling capacity, I was a junior high teacher for over a decade. I have always wanted to help people.
My focus is on creating authentic connections in order to understand who you are as an individual and learn about your experiences. The support of an objective person can help you feel empowered to work through your challenges head on. I appreciate the intersection between mental, physical, and emotional health. I can help you with anxiety, stress, and grief and loss. I offer individual counselling for youth (age 10+), teens, adults, and couples.
I also offer ADHD assessments for teens and adults and will soon offer Ed Psych assessments for teens and those entering post-secondary education.
