“Child and Youth Specialists” You’ve noticed that your child isn’t quite themselves lately, that they are withdrawn, and isolated, or struggling with severe anxiety. Maybe they are experiencing intense mood swings, anger outbursts, or even destructive behaviours such as self-harm or substance use. You are worried because your child won’t open up and share with you. You want to help your child, but you don't know how to. It is so scary to feel helpless when it comes to your child and to not know exactly what they need.
We combine principles of compassion and empathy with evidence-based CBT in order to create a safe, secure, and nurturing environment that allows you to learn and grow. We strive to help folks find their new normal as well as support families from the sidelines. Every family is unique so we develop customized treatment plans to help create positive change.
We also use attachment-focused therapy to create a safe, strong client-therapist relationship built out of trust. Positive, meaningful change is created by exploring, and adjusting, emotional regulation strategies, behavioural experiences, and relationship patterns. We aim to support the individual through connection.
