Child Psychologists and Child Therapists in Vancouver, BC.

Children need to feel that they are an important part of the family. A better understanding of your child and his/her unique desire to possess a specific “place” in the family will help to unravel how his/her beliefs about who he/she is may be affecting their reality and subsequent behaviours. Children may not possess the tools required to problem-solve effectively thus will turn to acting out. Providing a child with effective problem-solving techniques, self-esteem, trust and a sense of being understood is important for inner development.

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 young children I use a combination of art, imagination, play, and talk therapy to help them express their feelings and discover creative solutions to their problems. They will learn new coping strategies to deal with changes and situations over which they have little control. I also guide parents to learn new ways of supporting and relating to their children that encourage their sense of security, growth, and well-being.

Every child is unique and getting a true understanding of the individual child’s strengths and challenges is a complex process. A child who appears to be having trouble with behavior or learning could have challenges in any number of areas including cognition, learning, attention, executive function, or emotion regulation, to name a few. Dr. Limbos has a broad range of experience in clinical and school psychology and will conduct a thorough and comprehensive assessment, and formulate a treatment plan for children who present with issues including the following: Learning Disabilities Giftedness Developmental/Intellectual Disabilities Autism Spectrum Disorders Attention Deficit Hyperactivity D

In my practice, I work with preschoolers, school-age children, teens, and young adults. I conduct psychoeducational and neuropsychological assessments for learning disabilities, giftedness, ADD and ADHD, organization problems, memory difficulties, developmental delays, FASD, head injuries, and other challenges. I also provide Cogmed training for attention and working memory difficulties. Cogmed can help children with ADD, ADHD, learning disabilities, and executive functioning problems. Cogmed can help your child to improve their short-term memory, stay on task, and concentrate in school. If you’re concerned about your child’s learning, I look forward to hearing from you.

With young children who require support and counselling, we employ very specialized techniques depending on the child and their presenting concern. Using ONLINE tools like video conferencing, email and text supports, we support children (in school or at home) in expressing their feelings, and will either talk or use art making tools, or employ both in this important first step. We also employ arts activities and play in all sessions with children to best engage them and integrate their learning. Art and play are wonderful tools to reach and connect to children.
