Child Therapy
Tailored to each child's unique strengths, interests and needs, Child Therapy is a supportive and playful space for children to process their experiences, navigate emotions and enhance their coping skills, building upon their overall sense of self and confidence. Using children's natural form of communication PLAY, I use an integrative approach and techniques to foster self-expression in a playful, creative and meaningful way including Art Therapy, Play-Based Therapy (sandtray, storytelling, music and movement, games and puppets), Cognitive Behaviour Therapy, Somatic Approaches and Mindfulness.
Therapy for children starts with an appointment with parents/guardian. During this initial session, we will discuss the concerns that are bringing your family to therapy and we work together to identify the unique goals to support your child. During this initial appointment we will also discuss parent and family role during therapy and how to prepare your child for their first session.
Parents / Caregivers are integral partners in their child's therapeutic journey and Parent / Caregiver Sessions are recommended in conjunction with Child Therapy.
