Services for Children and Youth

DEPRESSION AND GRIEF COUNSELLING

Depression and grief can make the world feel like a very lonely place. It can be hard to try to explain the pain felt to others who may not understand. Together, we will consider your child's thoughts, feelings, and actions. From a place of non-judgement and compassion we will identify strategies to boost your child or youth's mood and renew curiosity in life. 

ANXIETY AND WORRY TOOLS AND SUPPORT

Anxiety turns a mouse into a monster. It makes conveying a simple message seem like delivering a presidential speech. It can turn day to day tasks into a seemingly endless crusade. Through working together, we will focus on calming the mind and being present in the moment. We will identify personal coping strategies that work for your child and move beyond the worry.

EMOTIONAL REGULATION SOCIAL CONNECTION

Social intelligence and emotional regulation skills assist children to learn and understand their internal and external environment, in order to feel confident in different situations. Support for your child in therapy will help them to get along with others and feel good about themselves. With guidance and building upon their own unique qualities, we aim to help them grow into self-assured, kind-hearted individuals who shine bright.

 Please note: We do not provide Note 7 or 8 interventions. In other words, we do not provide services related to parental evaluative interventions or interventions that work toward resolution of disputes.

Psychological and Educational Assessments

PSYCHOEDUCATIONAL ASSESSMENTS

Every child is unique and special. Understanding a child's cognitive, academic, and social and emotional environment and the role their experiences play in shaping the architecture of their brain can inform how to help them fulfill their special potential. Using the just-right assessment approaches, we provide psychoeducational assessments that support the whole child, family, and the educational environment so that they can shine. 

OUTDOOR and MOVEMENT COUNSELLING

Many children and youth struggle to sit across from an adult and share their thoughts, feelings, and sensory experiences. Sometimes young bodies need to move while processing, whether that be through walking, painting, playing a game, or drawing. Utilizing our movement approach to therapy, we will support your child or youth to build upon their strengths and create a toolbox for areas of growth. 

EMDR for CHILDREN

The collection of memories we each have become a part of our unique human experience. Sometimes past events that were scary, troubling, or traumatic become stuck in our children's minds and influence thoughts, emotions, and behaviours in the present. EMDR is one of the ways we can help understand how the past can affect the present. Connect with us if you think this might be helpful for your child or youth.
