Once you request mental health services. I will confirm that I am a good fit for your needs (or provide recommendations).
Next, we schedule an intake session. In addition to our conversations, I incorporate standardized screening and assessment tools which are specific to developmental stages. I present a plan for what I believe will be most helpful, which we agree to together.
Generally, I like to meet with parents/caregivers on their own first so that you can speak more freely; you may instead choose to include your child in the initial intake session.
I provide therapy sessions for children/teens and caregivers individually, and together. I use different family, talk, and/or play therapies to suit the specific needs of each child, caregiver, and family!
Some of the challenges I support children and families with are:
-
anxiety
-
ADHD
-
behaviour challenges
-
adoption
-
other caregiving changes, such as parental separation*
-
difficult life experiences (trauma and grief)
-
family relationship challenges
-
sleeping difficulties
I have special interests in supporting early childhood mental health, children who are neurodiverse (such as children with ADHD and Autism Spectrum Disorder), and honoring cultural safety.
*Please note that I cannot provide recommendations to court for guardianship or parenting time purposes.
