M.Ed., R. Psych. · Clinical Director
For 15 years, Soraya has worked with children and families across Calgary. At Yellow Kite, she offers thoughtful, individual care in a small, independent practice.
Yellow Kite offers assessments and counselling for children and adolescents. Here is a little about each service.
A closer look at how a child learns and processes information. Assessments provide insight into a child’s strengths, vulnerabilities, and development, and can also identify the presence of clinical and neurodevelopmental disorders, including ADHD, autism spectrum disorder, depressive and anxiety disorders, and specific learning disorders. Findings and recommendations are explained in clear, practical terms.
An assessment of cognitive abilities for families exploring gifted education or looking for a better understanding of a child’s learning profile.
A quiet, supportive space to talk through emotions, relationships, and the journey of growing up. The work is guided by the individual child and what matters to them, with parents involved along the way. Counselling aims to provide thoughtful, practical strategies to help young people generate positive change in their lives.
Soraya Lakhani, M.Ed., R. Psych., has spent 15 years working with children and families in Calgary.
Over the years, she has met many young people with different strengths, challenges, and stories. She started Yellow Kite in 2014 because she knows how much it matters for parents to feel heard, and for children to feel understood.
It is for those reasons that Yellow Kite is a small, locally run practice by choice. We are not a large clinic with a long roster of practitioners. Keeping things small gives Soraya the room to get to know you, understand what brings you in, and give your concerns the attention they deserve.
Whatever brings you through the door, you are welcome here. Let’s begin the journey together.
If you are new to Yellow Kite, a complimentary 15-minute consultation is a simple way to introduce yourself and ask questions.
If we have worked together before, you’re welcome to schedule your next appointment online.
