Dr Isabelle Collin
Dr. Collin is a graduate of UQAM, where she obtained a master's degree in psychology in 1999 and a doctorate in neuropsychology in 2004. She received scholarships for excellence for most of her doctoral studies. She has been a neuropsychologist member of the Ordre des Psychologues du Québec (OPQ) since 1999, and a member of the Association Québécoise des Neuropsychologues du Québec (AQNP) as well.
She has worked in hospitals for over 15 years, notably at Hôpital Charles LeMoyne in traumatology, neurology and neurosurgery, Hôpital du Haut-Richelieu in psychiatry, geriatrics and neurology, and Hôpital Honoré Mercier and Hôtel-Dieude St-Hyacinthe in psychogeriatrics. Dr. Collin has been an evaluator in funded Alzheimer's disease research for many years at the MoCA Institute, and more recently at the Montreal Neurological Hospital Institute. She was also in private practice from 1999 to 2023 at the Neuro Rive-Sud clinic.
Dr. Collin has many years' experience working with adult and geriatric clients, assessing neurocognitive disorders related to neurological and neurodegenerative disorders (including epilepsy, multiple sclerosis, stroke, Parkinson's disease and Alzheimer's disease). She offers an assessment service for neurocognitive disorders, as well as for capacity (to manage property, to consent to care or to make a will, for example). A significant part of her practice also focuses on adult ADHD, a condition in which she has developed a specific interest and expertise over the past 10 years. She offers screening assessments as well as coaching sessions to help people develop compensatory strategies adapted to their daily lives.
Her warm welcome and professionalism are always appreciated by her clients. It is with great enthusiasm that she joins CERC to pursue her career and express her passion for neuropsychology with this quality multidisciplinary group. In addition to her professional career, her personal interests include cooking, travelling, reading, nature, hiking and kayaking.
