Therapy with Children

Sessions are tailored to the child's age, developmental stage, and comfort level, helping them engage in a way that feels safe and natural.

My office is designed to be child-friendly and includes fidgets, games, craft materials, and space to move around rather than feeling confined to a chair. While talk-based therapy is often used, younger clients may communicate through play, creativity, movement, and activities that support emotional expression.

The first session is adapted to the child's developmental level and includes a discussion about what therapy is, what to expect, and how confidentiality works. Parents or guardians are typically involved in the intake process and may attend portions of early sessions when appropriate.

Parent involvement is often an important part of successful therapy. Individual parent sessions are available without the child present and are billed at the standard session rate. These meetings can provide parents with guidance, support, and practical strategies to reinforce therapeutic goals outside of session. When a child has the capacity to consent to treatment, their consent is required for parent-only sessions. For younger children who do not yet have that capacity, parents or guardians provide consent on their behalf.

I work with children and youth experiencing emotional, behavioural, relational, and self-regulation challenges, including anxiety, ADHD, attachment concerns, family transitions, and problematic sexual behaviours. Therapy is provided at a pace that supports both safety and meaningful growth.

Therapy should look and feel different with children.

For children 8+ who are able to engage in talk-based therapy.
