Dr. Jeta Dedja, PhD

Jeta Dedja is a licensed psychologist with the Ordre des psychologues du Québec, specializing in the assessment, intervention, and support of children, adolescents, and families in both school and clinical settings. She is also a licensed guidance counsellor with expertise in academic and career counseling, particularly in supporting students through the CEGEP application process.

​

With over 20 years of experience in Canada and Albania, Jeta brings a multicultural, interdisciplinary, and evidence-based perspective to her practice. She conducts comprehensive psychoeducational assessments, provides behavioral consultations for children and youth presenting with autism spectrum disorder ADHD, learning disabilities, oppositional defiant disorder, anxiety, and trauma-related challenges. Her clinical approach integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, psychodynamic principles, Solution-Focused Therapy, and humanistic models, enabling her to tailor interventions to each child’s developmental, emotional, and cultural context.

​

Before practicing in Quebec’s school system, Jeta held several professional roles in Albania, including school psychologist, university lecturer, court expert, and coordinator of psychological services within the national justice system. This unique background allows her to bridge psychological and legal domains with cultural sensitivity and trauma-informed care. In addition to her clinical and academic work, Jeta is the author of three published books in Albania, including the handbook of school psychology.
