Individual Therapy

Individual therapy can be highly effective for children, teens and young adults who struggle with anxiety, depression, social difficulties, adjustment issues or when faced with serious stressors such as divorce, loss or trauma. My practice offers a friendly, safe space to explore personal difficulties and concerns with the guidance and support of an experienced therapist. Virtual therapy is provided through interactive online activities documented in personalized therapy books; please see examples below. Parents are encouraged to be actively involved if their child is attending individual sessions for best outcomes.

Family Therapy

When one family member has a problem, it can affect the whole family. Family therapy is an effective way to bring family members together to understand problems and nurture change and growth within the family unit. Sessions may incorporate the whole family or smaller subsets of the family unit depending on your need.

Parent Counselling

Parenting is one of life’s most rewarding experiences, but it is also one of life’s most challenging. Parent counselling offers a safe and confidential space to discuss any concerns you may have about your child, and explore parenting strategies to support the creation of a stable, supportive and harmonious family environment. It is important to take care of yourself as a parent and sessions can also offer much-needed validation, support, and encouragement when dealing with the emotional, developmental and behavioural problems that may arise in your children.

Consultation Services

Service coordination with key players in your child and family’s day-to-day life is an optional service in addition to counselling. Examples would be: classroom observations as permitted by your child’s school, consultation with school teachers and other healthcare providers such as psychiatrists and pediatricians, and home visits. When working with youth and children, it is important to coordinate key players in various environments to support conversations and strategies learned in therapy to continue outside of session.
