Child Psychologists and Child Therapists in Sherwood Park, AB.

Therapy can provide a space to explore life challenges, so you can create new meanings, hope and new beginnings. As a therapist, I assist individuals (ages 6+) struggling to cope with anxiety, depression, grief, and anger. I also have experience working with individuals struggling with ADHD and emotional regulation issues. Based on the unique needs of the individual, I incorporate evidence-based therapy techniques into sessions such as CBT and DBT. In counselling with minors, I incorporate play therapy techniques into sessions, which helps to build rapport to assist minor clients to learn and grow while working toward their clinical goal.

Loving, good-enough parents are the natural vehicles through which children learn to engage the world. When children are said to "need help," it is generally the case that their adult caregivers need help, too. Psychotherapists who work with children do well to engage parent figures in the process. The impact of therapy upon children is strongly influenced by the parent-child system. That said, children commonly encounter personal issues which their parents are unprepared to help with or manage. Childhood depression is among the most under-diagnosed medical conditions. Children who learn to effectively engage in therapy enjoy lifelong benefits from this important experience.

Many times, child therapists overdo the family system in their quest to seek effective solutions for emotional, learning or behavioral concerns with young children. And many times doctors overpathologize issues that shouldn’t be medicated necessarily. This leaves parents wondering what is the best route for their child? Introducing brainwave optimization technology. A fast, effective, natural, and less expensive way to allow your child's brain to make the optimizing changes it desires to make---on its own! Without any external force, opinion, medication, diagnostic, etc. Contact kevin@kevinflemingphd.com or 877-606-6161.
