Child Psychologists and Child Therapists in Kingston, ON.

Counselling and helping young children is both rewarding and challenging. When choosing a therapist for your child, it is important to ensure the counsellor is experienced and can employ a variety of therapeutic approaches. Approaches would include: - Attachment based theory - Strength based theory - Cognitive behavioral therapy & - Trauma informed therapy.

Families are the building blocks of life - the foundation for strong, independent and resilient kids. When families succeed, children succeed. When caregivers understand their kids, their kids feel like super stars! But if parenting was easy, there wouldn't be thousands of books on the subject! The best way to support young children is to teach their parents to be their therapist. Everything children need can be found within the (metaphorical) arms of their caregivers. When kids feel heard, listened to, loved, liked, significant and that they MATTER, then they will flourish! Occasionally, other factors can get in the way... and we can figure out those things out too!

I offer in-person services to children (8+) and online services to children (10+). Children may experience increased stress or symptoms related to anxiety when they go through a transition or change (e.g., new school, new teacher, friend issues, divorce, and etc.). When symptoms related to ADHD/OCD often parents are asked to be apart of the counselling process. This can be parents directly participating in the counselling process, or separate parent meetings to discuss parental challenges and learn coping strategies, or discuss co-parenting strategies when parents are divorced.
