Child Psychologists and Child Therapists in Teulon, MB.

I integrated art and play therapy in doing therapy with young kids. I based on Circle-of-Security in assisting my parental client in communicating with their kids through artwork and games. External misbehaviors are the way for young kids to signal their parents about their internal insecurity. Helping my parental clients to look through the hidden message of the misbehaviors is the way to restore the secure emotional base for the growth and development of their kids.

Is your teen struggling? Are they having trouble thriving in school, at home, or in their relationships? Do they need someone outside the family they can talk to? I’m Tim, and I help young people navigate the complex world of being a teenager. With me, young people can expect therapy grounded in respect, encouragement, humor, as well as evidence-based techniques. Whether it be anxiety, relationships, anger, or family issues, I work with teens to find out the root causes of their mental health challenges, provide a trusting and empathic ear, and find solutions that work for them and their family. ***Please note *** I only work with teens ages 15 and older.

Children are more sensitive than we realize. They are learning about themselves and the world in which they live every day. They, however, are most vulnerable to mixed messages and faulty assumptions. They need to be led and guided so they can learn to be productive, healthy, happy individuals. Throughout the years, using techniques, skill and personal experience to provide a safe and open environment, I've seen children of all ages blossom and grow.

Early relationships and early experiences have a deep impact on the development of children. We offer services to children and families in a fully equipped child therapy room and with professional child therapists: - Play therapy - Parenting support and family counselling - Attachment assessment and treatment - Adopted, foster care - Families of children with disabilities, divorced or illness in the family

We offer play therapy and occupational therapy for young children and their families or caregivers. Play-based therapy offers children an environment to understand themselves, express their feelings and experiences, and build capacity for connection in relationships with others. Play therapy also is used to aid children in processing their experiences, developing social skills, emotional regulation and problem solving skills.

Children often show us they are troubled and have an unmet need by exhibiting behaviours that their adults experience as difficult, stressful, and sometimes very confusing. I work with kids using play and expressive arts to connect with them in a therapeutic space that is calming, fun, and a safe place to eventually talk about tricky things in their lives. I work from an attachment-focused lens. Therapy also involves some work with caregivers too--both together with the child in the therapy room, and separately. I share with parents the Circle of Security parenting model, which fosters security, connection, and delight in the child.
