Child Psychologists and Child Therapists in Arnprior, ON.

I have extensive experience working with young children and youth who are survivors of trauma and/or struggle with mental health. While I typically focus on clients 14+, I will gladly work with parents and their children who need support. I'll initially meet with the parent/guardian, and then parents are welcome to join initial sessions with the child if that is preferred. Parents are always part of mapping out plans for care for children/youth under 14.

While I do not work with youth under the age of 16, our clinic has many child and family therapists who are availability to schedule a free consultation. Since children are often impacted by family dynamics, we often find the most effective way to work with children, ages 6-11, is within the context of family therapy.

Through play, art, and talk therapy tailored to their developmental needs, children can express themselves freely in a safe and nurturing environment. Therapy helps children build resilience, develop coping skills, and understand and regulate their emotions. It provides a space for them to explore and make sense of challenging experiences, such as family changes, trauma, or school difficulties. By addressing issues early on, therapy can prevent them from escalating into more significant challenges later in life. Ultimately, therapy empowers children to navigate life's ups and downs with confidence and emotional intelligence, setting the stage for healthier relationships and brighter futures.

Growing up can be challenging and sometimes leave youth feeling confused, frustrated, or misunderstood. I strive to make them feel accepted for who they are and feel heard and validated. Promoting a safe and judgment free environment is a priority and necessary for youth to be able to let their guard down and communicate openly. Together we look at areas of life that are challenging for them and identify the factors that are contributing to the difficulties they are experiencing. We then work on managing those areas more effectively by developing positive coping strategies and emotions management skills. I have a passion working with youth and encourage you to book a free consultation.
