Supporting young minds to reprocess and release trauma.
The collection of memories we each have becomes part of our unique human experience. Sometimes, past events that were scary, troubling, or traumatic become stuck in a child’s mind and affect thoughts, emotions, and behaviours in the present.
If you’re searching for trauma therapy for children near me, EMDR for PTSD in children, or EMDR therapy for my child, we invite you to reach out. We offer services in-person in Cochrane, Airdrie, or Calgary, as well as virtually across Alberta.
EMDR can be especially effective for children who've experienced:
Acute or complex trauma, & medical trauma or accidents
Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), anxiety, phobias, or persistent fear-based behaviours
Grief or loss, bullying or emotional distress
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a trauma-informed therapy that helps children and teens process painful memories and build resilience.
Our Therapists will support your child or teen in gently exploring difficult memories, uncovering the root of emotional distress, and creating a calm, judgment-free space to build resilience, insight, and healing through EMDR.
What might EMDR help with?
Your child seems to overreact to things that don’t make sense — a dropped toy, a sibling teasing, or a sudden sound. These reactions may be linked to past memories that haven’t fully healed.
EMDR helps kids process these memories safely so they don’t keep interfering with the present.
Persistent fear, anxiety, or recurring bad dreams might be signs your child is carrying the emotional weight of something stressful or traumatic.
EMDR supports children in gently reprocessing those experiences, helping reduce fear and build inner safety.
You might notice your child becoming unusually quiet, zoned out, or disconnected, especially when stressed. This can be a trauma response.
With EMDR, we can help your child regain a sense of presence, connection, and emotional resilience.
Angry Outbursts or Behavioural Changes
Sudden mood swings, anger, or defiance can be your child’s way of communicating pain they don’t have words for.
EMDR gives your child a path to express what’s going on inside and tools to respond rather than react.
Connect In A Way That Feels Right
We offer a 10-minute call, email exchange, or direct booking, whichever feels best. This first step is about finding the right fit, with no pressure to continue if it doesn't feel aligned.
