We love children and we love connecting with them. Children can look forward to a fun and authentically respectful connection with our professionals when they visit our clinic. Whether it’s the first time they come to meet us or the 999th time – we endeavour to provide an environment that is child-centric and warm. We have many psychologists and counsellors who have specialties with children. We consult with all ages of children (yes… we’ve consulted with parents whose child hasn’t even been born yet!) and have cool techniques that are suited to all different personalities, from the shy, hesitant youngsters to the gregarious chatty-kathies.
Our team offers the following to children:
In-person and online (telehealth) counselling and therapy to help children to be strong and to bounce back from life’s challenges, as well as maximizing their ability to enjoy their lives and appreciate the good.
Our team offers interventions based in play therapy, art therapy, cognitive behavioral treatment (CBT) and person-centered techniques and we specialize in attachment approaches to help children to deepen their connection with their parents and families.
