Our Counselling Services
We provide therapy to clients of all ages using a collaborative, trauma and attachment informed individual treatment approach.
Child and Youth Psychotherapy
Based on an assessment of the child’s presenting concerns, developmental stage, strengths, and interests – and in consultation with parents or guardians – one or more of the following therapeutic methods are offered:
- EMDR Therapy
- Play therapy
- Theraplay or parent/child therapy
- Cognitive-behavioural therapy
- Sand tray therapy
The therapy plan is usually adjusted to address the young client’s evolving therapeutic needs and progress.
