Dr. George Stones
Ph.D, C. Psych

Dr. George Stones is a registered Clinical and Forensic Psychologist who earned his Ph.D. in Counselling Psychology at the University of Toronto. His clinical and forensic training was completed at the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health (CAMH), the Correctional Service of Canada (CSC) and the University of Toronto.
Over the course of his 35 plus year career in the Canadian criminal justice system, Dr. Stones has developed a reputation as a skilled assessor, innovator and communicator, with an intimate understanding of the often complex intersection between mental health, neurocognitive functioning and criminal behaviour. In 2009, he joined with colleague, Dr. Tania Stirpe, to form Stirpe and Stones Clinical and Forensic Psychology. 
Having conducted hundreds of psycho-legal evaluations for men and women engaged in criminal, family and civil court proceedings and quasi-judicial tribunals, Dr. Stones has extensive experience in the diagnosis of psychopathology, cognitive assessment, response style detection, forensic risk appraisal, treatment planning and risk management. Much of that work has been with special populations, including Indigenous and Inuit persons residing in underserved communities throughout the Canadian Arctic. 
Research interests include predictive paradigms investigating treatment effects and release outcomes for higher risk/needs clientele, and the relationship between cognitive factors, personality traits and risk of criminal behaviour. Over the years Dr. Stones has developed a trans-theoretical orientation anchored in a strength-based approach and the principle of compassionate intervention, particularly with the disadvantaged.
Dr. Stones is a licensed member of the College of Psychologists of Ontario (CPO), Psychological Association of Manitoba (PAM), Nunavut Psychology Registry and Northwest Territories Psychology Registry. Also a member of the Canadian Psychological Association (CPA), Dr. Stones has qualified in Ontario and Nunavut as an Expert Witness in Clinical and Forensic Psychology.
