Dr. Boutet is a Registered Psychologist with the Psychological Association of Manitoba. She received her Ph. D. in Clinical Psychology from the University of Manitoba in 1994. She is also a Certified School Clinician in Manitoba (1999). Dr. Boutet has extensive experience working with the education system in Manitoba in her roles as a School Psychologist, Clinical Supervisor, Student Services manager, and a Psychology Consultant for the Department of Education.

In 2016, Dr. Boutet resumed her passion for providing direct psychological services within the community. Her treatment interests include children and youth experiencing learning, behaviour, social, emotional, and mental health difficulties. “Dr. Connie” has extensive experience working with anxiety, depression, and ADHD in this population and is committed to supporting school–age children reach their potential in school and in life.

Dr. Boutet approaches therapy from an ecological perspective, looking at the fit between life demands experienced by the client, both external (environmental) and internal (self-expectations), and the client’s personal resources to meet these demands, including coping skills, social supports, personality and temperament, physical health, and physical resources. When life demands exceed an individual’s ability to cope, stress occurs, which can result in emotional distress, behaviour problems, physical symptoms, and/or social difficulties. Within this model, therapy focuses on creating a better match between demands and individual resources by addressing specific stressors, teaching coping techniques and symptom management strategies, and increasing access to critical supports.

After 30+ years of traveling to the west coast of Canada for holidays, Dr. Connie and her family relocated to British Columbia in June of 2022, where she continues to offer virtual treatment for residents of Manitoba. Connie is enjoying the physical beauty of BC but misses seeing friends, family, and clients in person.

Jen grew up in the small town of Binscarth, Manitoba. She moved to Winnipeg to attend the University of Manitoba, where she obtained her Bachelor of Arts and Bachelor of Education degrees. Jen spent nearly 10 years teaching in elementary schools in Winnipeg, with the majority of her teaching career spent in Kindergarten. She also taught Grade 1, Grade 2, Grade 3, and Reading Recovery. Jen has many experiences running programs for preschool aged children and their families.

After the birth of her son, Jen became a full time mom and caregiver. Her son’s Autism and Childhood Apraxia of Speech diagnoses led Jen to experience play therapy, speech and language therapy, physical therapy, and occupational therapy first hand, as a parent. Jen became very familiar with RDI Floortime, where she learned to follow her son’s lead and interests, and became his partner in play to help facilitate his growth and development and to create a caring, safe, inviting and inclusive learning environment for him. Jen’s son was non-speaking until 6 years of age, so she has experience with using an AAC device and the Proloquo2go program, which helped give her son a voice when he hadn’t yet found his. Jen has a passion for teaching and learning with all children, but especially those who are neurodiverse. Her life experiences as a parent to a neurodivergent child has given her understanding, knowledge, and empathy to what other families may also be experiencing.

Jen currently lives in Winnipeg with her husband, her son, and their Shichon pup. She enjoys going on adventures and spending time with her family, wandering through trees and exploring the outdoors, planning parties and activities, and advocating for Autism awareness and acceptance.
