Many of our clients come to us feeling overwhelmed and confused about what to do next. Life is feeling heavy. They are tired of simply trying to get through day to day. Some are a little hesitant about taking that first step in talking to a therapist. Others tell us they are taking care of everyone around them, and feeling completely drained. Parents are worried about their child or teen. They want to help them overcome their struggles to have more peace at home, and a happier, more resilient kid.
At Sherwood Psychology, our psychotherapists help adult, teen and child clients feel lighter, and more empowered. You can breathe a little easier after finally feeling understood, and come up with a plan of what to do next with one of our therapists. I also offer ADHD, Autism, psychoeducational and gifted assessments for kids and teens.
We are here to guide you every step of the way. You can book a free 15 minute consult with the therapist of your choice on our website, or send us a message to get started. Our warm space in located in the heart of Hintonburg.
