), anger, anxiety/depression, grief, behavioral concerns, social skills/peer relationships, and bullying - to name a few! Not sure if play therapy will address your child's need? Please reach out!.
I work primarily with children ages four and up through play therapy. Because we cannot expect young children to sit down and discuss their problems and feelings like adults do, allowing a child to express themselves through play is very effective. This builds on the way children naturally communicate - through play! Play also creates a safe place for children to express something that they find troubling. This means that very difficult topics can be worked through in a playful or metaphorical way which is age appropriate for the child. I completed my play therapy training through the Rocky Mountain Play Therapy Institute.

My therapeutic approaches tend toward a blend of varying CBT (Cognitive Behavioral) therapies, while drawing from Narrative / Solution - Focused approaches.
Many of my clients have experienced panic attacks, obsessive worry, depression, low self esteem, irritability / anger - that have been brought on or worsened by relationship difficulties and traumatic experiences. Life can be very hard - when we feel hurt, scared, or humiliated, our impulse is to withdraw from others or pretend everything okay. My clients have often found themselves stuck in these defensive modes - feeling no way to turn. If you hope for change and are willing to reach out, please don't hesitate .... you are worth it!

Effective regulation occurs in the context of healthy relationships, which is something we ideally learn through our early experiences. When people experience anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, lost intimacy, communication and conflict issues, low self-esteem, addictions and substance abuse, parenting difficulties, and work and school issues, just to name a few, the root cause is commonly the result of a dysregulated nervous system. I specialize in helping clients understand their experience through the lens of attachment, trauma, learned behavior, and adaptive nervous system regulation.

Behavioural Issues Counsellors
What happens in therapy for behavioural issues?
No matter the type of therapy, individuals form an alliance with the therapist; that connection is often therapeutic in itself, plus it becomes an instrument of change. Individuals learn to identify situations that are especially troublesome for them and acquire new patterns of thinking and behaving. In therapy for ADHD, one of the most common behaviour issues for children, individuals learn how to improve frustration tolerance, control impulsivity, manage attentional focus, and gain skills of self-organisation.
What therapy types help with behavioural issues?
Many types of therapy have been found effective, each targeting one or more areas of dysfunction. Perhaps best-known and most widely tested is cognitive and behavioural therapy (CBT), in which individuals learn new behavioral strategies and curb reactivity to frustrating or distressing situations that trigger disruptive behaviour. Anger, anxiety, mood disorders, impulse control problems are commonly addressed in CBT. Family therapy or parent management training is often helpful to reduce parent-child conflict and behavioral difficulties at home.
How long does therapy last for behavioural issues?
Among popular approaches to treating behavioural concerns, CBT is considered a short-term therapy intended to be administered in 15 to 20 weekly sessions. Parent training in behaviour management, often used when the underlying cause of behaviour issues is ADHD in children under 12, usually occurs in weekly sessions for 8 to 16 weeks. When behavioural issues stem from persistent aggression or defiance, therapy may last for months, and usually targets both children and their parents.
How effective is therapy for behaviour issues?
Studies show that therapy for behaviour issues in children is highly effective and may prevent the development of antisocial behaviour later in life. Family intervention—parent management training or family therapy, both of which involve parents and children together—is considered most effective, notably for children under age 12 who persistently engage in aggressive, defiant, rule-breaking or other disruptive behaviour. Whether provided alone or in combination with medication, CBT is highly effective in helping people regulate their emotions, and for people with ADHD, it addresses impulsiveness, hyperactivity and attentional focus.
