Child Psychologists and Child Therapists in Lacombe, AB.

Keystone Child and Family Therapy offers specialized counseling in play therapy for children ages 2-18. Play therapy is a child-centered approach to counseling based on developmental principles, allowing a child to engage in the counselling process in their most natural form of communication: play. Play therapy is an effective form of therapy for a variety of issues including: behavioral issues, social-emotional issues, trauma, abuse, grief and loss, developmental concerns, autism, ADHD, transitional issues, divorce and separation, attachment concerns, adoption, etc. Parents are considered important partners in the process and so family therapy is also used in combination with play therapy.

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.

Sometimes children and young people (and their families) may need extra support if they are finding it difficult to deal with or understand their emotions and/or behavior. Counselling children and young people involves helping the child to develop a positive attitude to life, recognize their strengths and express themselves. It does not involve making decisions for the child, imposing beliefs on them or preaching. Counselling may be provided to children and young people on their own, or it may be provided to a child as part of a family (family counselling).
