Children (6 to 10) Therapists in N6B

Currently accepting new clients! Hello there, my name is Tori and I am a registered Social Worker helping individuals and couples’ pursuit of mental wellness and personal growth. Throughout my experience as a social worker, I have focused on supporting a diverse range of individuals, including seniors, medically fragile individuals, survivors of interpersonal and institutional violence, those living with mental health concerns, and those coping with addictions. My areas of practice include anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship challenges, ADHD and neurodivergence, caregiver stress and burnout, life transitions, and grief.

Are you at a loss? Can't seem to think straight? Is everything coming at you too fast? Are you at the point where you just want to throw in the towel? Do you feel stuck, as if no matter what you do nothing works? Have you lost sight of what you once enjoyed? You are not alone, just know that things can work out, but sometimes you need a nudge to get you started. Sometimes you need someone to listen, to hear what you have to say without fear of judgement.

Everyone is unique and encounters different life experiences. Some of these experiences change the ways we think, feel, and act. Children and youth might begin to say negative things about themselves, start to struggle with school performance and peer relationships, react easily and in ways that seem bigger than the situation, and experience physical changes like headaches or stomach aches. Another component of these changes involves looking at how adults are processing their responses to them. It is important for adults to know that supporting a child or youth, in addition to themselves, is not something they have to face alone.

I hope to create a warm, trusting space to assist you in your healing process. I work with children, youth, and adults. It is important as an adult to recognize what we carry with us from childhood and the impact past events have on us. In working with my young clients, I ensure to provide them space to feel safe to express their emotions. It is evident that the meaning behind a child’s behaviors are often rooted in trauma, attachment difficulties and understanding their own identity. Specific to kids, play therapy can allow the expression and development to understand and navigate their core emotions hiding behind the behavior.

I extend a warm invitation to you, to a nurturing space where healing unfolds naturally. If you're seeking support for your child, your family, or yourself in times of difficulty, know that you've found a haven where safety, understanding, and gentle guidance live. Let's embark on this journey together, creating a home for emotional well-being to move you through this challenge.

We have current availability for individual therapy (children, youth and adults), as well as parent, couple and family therapy: Whether you or your child are having emotional difficulties rooted in relational or historical trauma, you’re a parent struggling to find a better way, or your family needs help communicating, we’re here to support you. Improved self-esteem, better relationships and a greater sense of calm are possible. At Full Circle, we take the time to really connect with you and provide you with the tailored support you need. We know from experience that the right support, at the right time, can be a game changer.

Accepting clients. Life can be overwhelming for families, and it can be hard to know what to do when your child has behaviours or is struggling. Emotions can feel out of control and family dynamics can be difficult. I have learned from working with children and families that sharing emotions and creating a space to process your experience, allows your family to feel connected and supported. It is important that through those difficult times that you know your family matters, and that you are not alone.

Are you looking for a psychoeducational assessment for your child or yourself to inform the development of an Individual Education Plan (IEP) and/or accommodations/modifications at school/work? Do you need help to obtain the supports and tools required to reach full potential in learning?

Sometimes, life can be very challenging and draining. You might be feeling overwhelmed, tired, confused, anxious or lost. Perhaps you are having issues within your family, or you’re concerned about your child. You might be experiencing struggles in your relationship- having the same fights over and over. You might be trying to rebuild your life after domestic violence, or maybe you’re trying to recover after a divorce or separation. These issues are so painful leaving you scared of the future. This is where I come in, to help you to the other side of this. I offer a safe, empathetic, non-judgmental, confidential and nurturing space.

As a parent, do you often ask yourself how you could do things differently, feeling guilty or ashamed about the way you manage family situations? Struggling with cycles of negative emotion can leave you feeling alone, anxious, and depressed. Perhaps you feel disconnected from yourself, your partner, and/or your children, and you wish your family dynamic could come together more easily. Practicing acceptance and establishing emotional safety may seem like impossible feats, but know that there is a way.

I work with clients who wish to use neurofeedback or biofeedback, together with psychotherapy, to learn to better self-regulate and improve quality of life. The brain affects all aspects of physical and mental functioning. Neurofeedback is used as a tool to address underlying neuropsychological functions including problems with memory, concentration, focus, clarity of thought, hyperactivity, sleep disturbances, anxiety, sadness, pain, anger, stress, and fatigue.

There are countless reasons why you and/or your families journey may have lead to seeking therapy for support. Whether it be struggling with big emotions, feeling stuck, stressed, hurt, overwhelmed, maybe you're struggling with certain behavioural tendencies, or relationships with friends and families. I am here to hold the space with you so we can understand where your life can be enhanced.

It is an honour and a privilege to work with people as they identify and explore unhelpful patterns of thoughts, actions and behaviours. We will work together on improving wellbeing and reducing troubling symptoms (anxiety, depression, relationship issues). I utilize a strengths-based, systemic approach and tailor my approach for each client. I often use neuropsychotherapy techniques. There are cognitive explanations for why we make the same mistakes over and over but the good news is that once we become aware of the way we make decisions, we can make healthy, positive changes. I have been in practice for eighteen years.
