Éric Papineau

Éric M. Papineau is a doctoral student in the School/Applied Child Psychology program at McGill University, currently registered with the Ordre des psychologues du Québec (OPQ) – Registre des étudiants et des candidats, who practices under the supervision of Dr. Damyan Edwards at D2 Psychology Clinic. He has also completed supervised practice at Summit School under Dr. Louise Deault, and clinical training through an internship in the Brain, Development & Behaviour program at the Montréal Children's Hospital under Dr. Loredana Marchica and Dr. Renée St-Pierre, working alongside a multidisciplinary developmental pediatrics team. He holds a Master of Arts and an Education Specialist degree in School Psychology from the University of Memphis (2019, 2021), and a Bachelor of Science with Honours in Psychology from Laurentian University (2017). Prior to his doctoral studies, Éric worked as a school psychologist within Memphis-Shelby County Schools, gaining experience across elementary schools, private schools, and the juvenile justice system.

​

Éric specializes in psychological and psychoeducational assessment, evaluating children, adolescents, and young adults for ADHD, autism, intellectual disability, specific learning disabilities, developmental delay, disruptive mood dysregulation disorder, as well as anxiety and depressive disorders. His assessment training covers a wide array of standardized tests, applied across school, hospital, university and private clinics in both Canada and the United States.

​

His therapeutic approach is informed by evidence-based modalities, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). He believes real change belongs to the client, and sees his role as a steady, trauma-informed guide who helps hold that process on course. Working alongside him, clients build or learn the tools and confidence to pursue their own therapeutic goals, moving toward a life grounded in their values, deeper meaning, and lasting fulfillment.
