About Dr. Karen Black | Child Psychologist & Parent Coach in Toronto


Hi! I’m Dr. Karen.

I’m a registered child psychologist in Toronto, Ontario.

In my parent coaching and consultation practice, I focus on providing specialized support for parenting challenges related to child emotion regulation.

I work from the understanding that parents are the most powerful (wonderful!) agents of change in a child’s life.

I use an evidence-based approach that integrates:

❀ Emotion-focused  and attachment-based techniques to increase understanding and improve communication patterns

❀Positive behavioral strategies in a flexible framework, to foster clear, progressive steps towards meaningful change
