Fataneh Farnia
Registered Psychotherapist, PhD
Verified
Children and youth often experience strong emotions (anxiety, sadness, anger, fear) that are the roots of their behavioral challenges, self- and emotion dysregulation, and other adjustment issues. These issues negatively impact their quality of life. Through
play
and art therapy, I facilitate and witness the unfolding of children's lived experiences. I help them to explore and express their thoughts, emotions and memories that may not be easily expressed using words. Through interacting with their personal symbols in the
play
or their art, children gain self-acceptance which is the bridge to healing the inner pain and trauma.

play
what you'd REALLY like to tell your boss/spouse/parent, or draw a self-portrait.
As a Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying) and a Certified Clinical Trauma Specialist, my services are geared towards those experiencing difficulty regulating their emotions. Clients often speak of wanting to develop a "pause" button for when they experience intense/overwhelming emotions (anger, sadness, fear, helplessness, anxiety). The goal of therapy is thus to help clients respond, rather than react, to their emotions.

Registered Social Worker, MSW, RSW

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.

Children are constantly evolving and growing and during their journey they sometimes need some support to encourage and help them to thrive in their relationships and connections with others; or to develop strategies to support emotional regulation, social skills, life skills, anxiety reduction, concentration and focus, or processing of traumatic events. During this time parents are also growing and evolving. Parenting can be both the most challenging and rewarding experience we have but sometimes during those challenging times we need some support.

Play Therapy Counsellors
Generally for children ages 3 to 11, play therapy is a form of counselling that relies on play to help therapists communicate with children and understand their mental health. Because children develop cognitive skills before language skills, play is an effective way to understand a child. The therapist may observe a child playing with toys--such as playhouses and dolls--to understand the child's behavior and identify issues.
