Lauren Sikora

Registered Provisional Psychologist
Clinical Director

Hi everyone, I’m Lauren.

In 2020, I earned my M.Ed. in School & Clinical Child Psychology from the University of Alberta. I am currently a doctoral student in the same program with graduation (hopefully) on the horizon.

At KED Care, I support our psychological assessment services for children, youth, and adults alike. Outside of KED Care, I am a sessional instructor at Concordia University of Edmonton and Graduate Student Principal Instructor at the University of Edmonton. When I am not studying or working, my husband and I have our hands full as Co-Directors of Play to our 3-year-old daughter.
