Hello, My name is Cynthia Manley. I am a Certified Play Therapist with the Canadian Association for Play Therapy and the owner of Shifting Tides Play Therapy. I help children who are struggling with issues including: anxiety, depression, or adjustment to divorce or blended families. I also work with children who have experienced trauma or who have special needs including Autism Spectrum Disorder or other learning disabilities.
I am one of only a few counselling therapists in Nova Scotia who can offer play therapy to children. I have completed the certification process after completing my Master's degree and licensure. Play Therapy is a well-researched intervention for children and has good evidence that it helps children with many different areas of challenge.
Please reach out and we can chat about your child's needs to see if my services might be a good fit.
Call or Cynthia Manley now for a free 15 minute consultation - (902) 812-0392
