Child Psychologists and Child Therapists in Kingston, ON.

Families are the building blocks of life - the foundation for strong, independent and resilient kids. When families succeed, children succeed. When caregivers understand their kids, their kids feel like super stars! But if parenting was easy, there wouldn't be thousands of books on the subject! The best way to support young children is to teach their parents to be their therapist. Everything children need can be found within the (metaphorical) arms of their caregivers. When kids feel heard, listened to, loved, liked, significant and that they MATTER, then they will flourish! Occasionally, other factors can get in the way... and we can figure out those things out too!

I offer in-person services to children (8+) and online services to children (10+). Children may experience increased stress or symptoms related to anxiety when they go through a transition or change (e.g., new school, new teacher, friend issues, divorce, and etc.). When symptoms related to ADHD/OCD often parents are asked to be apart of the counselling process. This can be parents directly participating in the counselling process, or separate parent meetings to discuss parental challenges and learn coping strategies, or discuss co-parenting strategies when parents are divorced.

While I do not work with youth under the age of 18, our clinic has many child and family therapists who are availability to schedule a free consultation.

Many times, child therapists overdo the family system in their quest to seek effective solutions for emotional, learning or behavioral concerns with young children. And many times doctors overpathologize issues that shouldn’t be medicated necessarily. This leaves parents wondering what is the best route for their child? Introducing brainwave optimization technology. A fast, effective, natural, and less expensive way to allow your child's brain to make the optimizing changes it desires to make---on its own! Without any external force, opinion, medication, diagnostic, etc. Contact kevin@kevinflemingphd.com or 877-606-6161.

With my many years in education I am able and skilled at working with and relating to children and adolescents. Childhood should be a time for healthy growth and development. For many children and teens, it is a time of great emotional stress. Children react to stress in many ways including withdrawal and acting out behaviors at home and school. I am here to help children and families learn the life skills necessary to be successful and happy. Family counseling may help to promote better relationships and understanding within your family. There is no shame in needing support. Family counseling during a divorce, or a child experiencing trauma can help all of you find some peace.

Counselling and helping young children is both rewarding and challenging. When choosing a therapist for your child, it is important to ensure the counsellor is experienced and can employ a variety of therapeutic approaches. Approaches would include: - Attachment based theory - Strength based theory - Cognitive behavioral therapy & - Trauma informed therapy.

3 Chords therapists work with young children to learn how to regulate and manage big emotions. The techniques we use with children help to engage them through virtual means and learn aspects about themselves. We take a strength-based approach to empower the children to make changes and see the positives within themselves which helps to build their self-esteem.
