Registered Psychotherapist, BA, MA, CRPO
Verified
I have worked with
children
and families for 15 years in social services and want to extend that to psychotherapy and assistance with parenting skills.
We are all going through some tough times right now. Some of us have less energy or feel anxious and hopeless. Words like "anxiety", "stress", "depression" or "sadness" may come to mind. This is a unique period in time and it is natural to feel uneasy. I use a psychodynamic, solution-focused approach, thus, acknowledging your complexity and inherent strengths. Together, we will develop solutions from your unique perspective. I have provided therapy for individuals,
children
and couples. I strive to be honest and non-judgmental, enjoy working with everyone and can offer supportive and realistic strategies to improve your life.

Whether a
child
is dealing with anxiety, depression, grief and loss, family separation or divorce, or difficulty regulating emotions, Play Therapy helps
children
learn new tools and develop resilience they can easily transfer into their day to day lives.
Childhood is often thought of as a magical time. The reality is that many kids face problems that leave them feeling worried, scared, angry, sad or confused. This can be difficult and heart breaking for parents trying their best to connect with and support their
child
. Very often, despite a caregiver’s best effort to learn more and help solve the problem, a
child
’s response is “I don’t know”. Play therapy can help provide
children
with the tools they need to express their thoughts and explore their inner world.

Mary Charron Therapy
Registered Social Worker, MSW, RSW
Verified
With 20 years in the field and a columnist with Metroland News and Newmarket Today, I work with
children
, adults, couples and families, supporting their mental health. Difficult experiences both past and present can anchor us, keeping us trapped in a space of anxiety, depression, anger and hurt. These emotions can be exhausting and overwhelming. As a therapist, I envision my role as the support to guide you toward making a shift in healing. We do not need to stay in our past, in our traumas and in our pain. We can move forward and thrive; we deserve to do so.

Right now you may be in uncharted waters from a new diagnosis, or today may have been a hard day working through meltdowns. The behaviour challenges are becoming too much. You are looking for a professional who can help you understand why the behaviours are happening, how to change it, and teach them new skills.

children
and adolescents with autism and other diagnoses develop the skills they need to help them thrive.
