Joanna Card, Registered Psychologist
Joanna Card is a Registered Psychologist in private practice who specializes in working with adolescents, young adults, adults and families. Joanna has worked with youth and families since 1997 in schools, hospitals, and in community settings. She is passionate about working with individuals and families of all genders and sexual orientations and helping them grow into confident and successful people with effective life-management skills.

Joanna is thrilled and very grateful to partner with Lionheart Foundation, which provides her clients and their families with access to affordable counselling services.
