We provide counselling for families, individuals, adolescents, and children. We view family as a system and in counselling, we include as many family members as possible. We have had two years extensive training in Functional Family Therapy, a strength-based model built on a foundation of acceptance and respect.

Our counselling services for children and families help “acting out” children and improve family dynamics. We apply Play Therapy and Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy techniques and strategies to help children with anxiety, attention difficulties, stress, behavioural concerns, bullying, grief and loss, and parent-child conflict.

What to expect

1. Initial assessment

The first meeting is usually attended by one or both parents, but without the child. We ask parents to share with us their concerns regarding their child’s behaviour and emotional connection. We also ask about the family history and background. We discuss the goal for the therapy and the approach  used help the child achieve that goal. The assessment meeting duration is 50 minutes.

2. Play therapy for children

To help a child express feelings that may be difficult or tricky to verbalize, we use Play Therapy. A fully-equipped playroom with special toys allows children to fully express their feelings through structured play in a specialized, safe environment that supports their growth and change.

3. Parent coaching

We offer you an opportunity to learn strategies and skills you can apply to improve communication with your child. You will be able to deal effectively with concerning behaviour and collaborate with your child.

4. Family therapy

Usually involving the entire family or the parent and the child (for example, mother and son, or father and son). Parents will have an opportunity to play together and strengthen their relationship with their children, learn how to develop closeness between family members, and change communication patterns, if needed.

Fees

One session duration is 50 minutes. Session fee – $240. Payment is due at the end of each session and we conveniently accept debit, cheque, cash, e-transfers, VISA, and MasterCard.
