Dr. Milse Furtado

Dr. Milse Furtado is a Registered Psychologist with the College of Psychologists of Ontario. She provides neuropsychological assessments in English, Spanish, and Portuguese for children and youth with challenges related to attention, learning disabilities, school issues, ADHD, behavioural regulation, trauma & PTSD, medical conditions, and emotional or social functioning. She also has extensive experience with developmental disorders, adoption and attachment concerns, and brain-based conditions such as traumatic brain injury (TBI), prenatal substance exposure, seizures, strokes, and chronic illness.

She is a cross-cultural neuropsychologist committed to accessible, trauma-informed care. Through neuropsychological assessment and intervention, she supports parents, caregivers, educators, and healthcare teams in understanding how brain-based challenges impact learning, mood, and behaviour. Her goal is to guide practical, compassionate, and individualized recommendations that address a child’s unique needs at home, at school, and in the community.

She understands how overwhelming it can be when a child is struggling, especially when the reasons aren’t clear. Her role is to listen with care, explore what’s happening beneath the surface, and work together toward solutions. If you’re looking for clarity and compassionate support, you don’t have to face this alone. She is here to help you take that next step.

Dr. Furtado earned her Master’s (M.Sc.) and Doctorate (Psy.D.) degrees in Clinical Psychology with a specialization in Neuropsychology from Albizu University in Miami, Florida. She completed her pre-doctoral internship at the Mount Sinai Hospital in New York, NY. She completed her pos-doctoral degree at the NeuroHispanos clinic in Dallas, Texas, and at the private practice of Dr. Tedd Judd in Bellingham, Washington. Her clinical training profile also includes work in a variety of settings, including hospitals, rehabilitation centres, community-based mental health centres, university clinics, and private practices in the United States, Brazil, and Canada.
