Child Psychologists and Child Therapists in Brighton, ON.

We believe in providing a comfortable and safe setting for children to connect with the therapist using hands-on and play modalities. Once we have earned the child's trust, we can then assist the child with developing awareness of how their thoughts and feeling influence their actions. In turn, a little bit of awareness can help a child make significant and lasting changes.

Children are often impacted by family dynamics and for that reason, at Psychotherapy Collective our approach to working with children aged 6-11 is a family based approach.

I encourage you to view our approach to child and family therapy (https://www.psychotherapycollective.ca/services/child-and-family-therapy) and schedule a consultation with one of our family therapists to see if they are the proper fit for your journey.

Here at AG Counselling we also offer extensive support for youth and families. Another are of support we offer is parent coaching. The parents are given the opportunity to work with a trained therapist to improve their parenting styles and connect in deeper and more meaningful ways with their child. We provide treatment to children of all age, including somatic and EMDR therapy.

When I work with young children through child-centred play therapy, I provide in-person sessions right here in Peterborough, Ontario. My office is a safe, welcoming space where children can express themselves freely, explore their feelings, and build important emotional skills through play. Children benefit from my approach because I follow their lead, using toys, drawing, stories, and imaginative activities to help them communicate in ways that feel natural and comfortable. I focus on helping children develop emotional awareness, self-confidence, coping skills, and problem-solving.

At Turning Point we have a therapist that works with teens and kids using art and play therapy, as well as talk therapy to build rapport with them and help them feel comfortable and open up. Common problems we see are: behavioural issues, blending with step-siblings and step-parents, ADHD, issues at school or those who have suffered abuse or neglect of some kind. Please reach out for availability for your child or teen, or book a free consult today!

I have a deep respect for children. I work from a basis of compassion and honoring each child for who they are. I offer play and art therapy. These modes are well suited for children as it is through play that children find a way to sort out their experiences and find new ways to orient themselves in their lives. Art can offer a similar approach to play in that they both access the creative intuitive parts of the brain allowing children to heal and grow through their natural modes of being. There are many types of play therapy and which type is used depends on what the child needs, and what situation they are dealing with.
