Hi, I’m Andre Stam. I earned my Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from Brock University and my Bachelor of Education from Lakehead University. I worked as a Primary/Junior special needs teacher in Alberta, Northern Ontario, Northern Quebec, and southwestern Ontario, before making the move to Psychotherapy in 2021. I earned my Master’s in Counselling Psychology from Yorkville University and have worked as a Psychotherapist since then.
At EDify Elgin, I provide counselling therapy in several ways, including CBT, Narrative, Somatic Experiencing, Integrated Family Systems, and Sleep Therapy.
Several years ago, while working with clients who struggle with OCD, ADHD and Autism, I developed Video Game Assisted Therapy; this method can also involve Lego, board games, and card games. This approach teaches clients that therapy can be enjoyable while helping them develop the skills and routines needed to increase their confidence and resilience.
I look forward to working with you and your family to help you improve your mental health, strengthen your relationships, and build up your confidence.

Hi, I am Chris Brown, MEd, Psychologist and managing director of EDify. I chose to become a School Psychologist because I have a passion for helping individuals identify their strengths and improve their learning abilities.
My primary goal is to help parents understand the underlying causes of their child’s learning difficulties and to provide guidance on how to address these challenges. Additionally, I strive to help adults gain a better understanding of themselves. My area of focus involves working with individuals who may have suspected or confirmed learning difficulties, ADHD, and/or Autism.

As a licensed counselling and clinical psychologist at EDify, I get to do what I love most: support children, adolescents, and adults as they work toward their personal, social, academic, and vocational goals. My work includes both assessment and therapy, and my approach is integrative, grounded in the belief that you are the expert on you!
I use a flexible, collaborative approach to care, and I understand the importance of meeting each person where they are at.
I am continually inspired by the resilience, creativity, and courage my clients bring into our sessions. I deeply enjoy helping people find meaning, clarify what truly matters to them, and take brave behavioural steps toward a life that feels more aligned and authentic.
