Child Psychologists and Child Therapists in Todds Island, NS.

It can be difficult looking for a therapist who will work with children. I have been working with children and youth for nearly 20 years. I see school-aged children ages 5 and up. If your child is struggling with anxiety or depression, finding it difficult to manage their emotions, struggling at school, acting out behaviourally, or not getting along with siblings, I can help.

Patterns and cycles start to develop prior to birth. Theories about the stages of development indicate that we start downloading and making sense of information and experiences from birth throughout the lifespan. I generally work with children ages ten and older, however depending on maturity level younger children may be accepted. I use mindfulness, and ego strengthening through art, role play, movement and visualization to help young clients develop strength and resiliency. Please contact me if you are looking for support for either your child or the parent-child relationship.

Liz has enjoyed 20+ years in education and is well versed in the psychosocial stages of development. She desires that all children enjoy a happy, healthy, and fulfilling life and has worked closely with them (and families) in circumstances where their capacity to thrive has been negatively impacted by internal and/or external experiences. These disruptions can manifest in the form of tantrums, inattention, withdrawal, resistance, aggression, mutism etc. Through a series of engaging and interactive exercises in a safe environment, Liz builds trusting relationships with children and empowers them to confront and overcome their challenges.
