At the Cheam Centre for Counselling Therapy we have a full service play therapy centre We are located in East Abbotsford.

We also have experience working with children and their families through situations such as separation, divorce, loss, trauma, and abuse, We offer a supportive environment to help with parenting through variety of approaches such as attachment and Child Parent Relationship Therapy (CPRT).

Children, like adults, can be affected by anxiety, stress, pressure and self-esteem issues. It can be very challenging for children to balance a busy lifestyle of sports, school, friends, and personal growth. It can also be very challenging for parents to watch and support their child as they struggle. We use child play therapy as a great tool to support young children in expressing their inner thoughts and feelings, while also creating tools and strategies for how they can cope with things better. We will also work with the parents, as needed to better understand their child and learn tools on how to support them.

Counseling for children provides a safe and nurturing environment where they can express their thoughts and emotions freely. My approach emphasizes building trust and using age-appropriate techniques, such as play therapy, creative activities, and storytelling, to help children process their experiences. I focus on understanding their unique perspective and working collaboratively with families to support their growth. Children benefit from improved emotional regulation, enhanced self-esteem, and the tools to navigate challenges, fostering resilience and healthy development.

I have worked with young children my whole career. I love working with young children as I very much believe in early intervention and prevention. The earlier a young child receives treatment the higher the success rate! I began my career working at The Children's Foundation which is a residential treatment centre for behavioural and emotional issues. I learned so much and I have been able to transport that experience and knowledge to my private practise. I have also had training as a play therapist which is a wonderful tool to have!

Carey will safely guide your child through play and art therapy to creatively use their senses for an inner journey of discovery. Trauma, abuse, bullying, anger, aggression, anxiety or withdrawal are concerns that a child may not be able to express or control. The transformation of a child happens as she or he discovers how to open up their feelings, learn social skills, experience healthy respect and self esteem. Carey's 20 years of experience using child centered approaches is family friendly and promotes healthy development through the growing years.

Children are resilient. They have an amazing way of adapting to change in the world around them. When a child has lost their ability to adapt or is no longer able to cope and manage their world, a multitude of behaviors can manifest. This can be scary and frustrating for the parent or caregiver and can be equally difficult for the child. We understand and appreciate the struggles that children face today and how challenging parenting can be. We will work together to uncover the underlying issues and recreate harmony for both the child and/or parent. In a warm and understanding environment we will use a variety of techniques, customized to your child'd individual needs.

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.

Utilizing play therapy, I help children recover from trauma and process their pain. I use art therapy to build resilience and inner strength, and engage interested parents in building long-lasting healthy relationships with their children. Children feel easily connected with me and I help you strengthen attachment with your child. I work well with the following childhood disorder: ADHA, autism, trauma and abuse, separation anxiety, issues with bullying, OCD and adjustment disorders. My play therapy room is conducive to every form of art therapy and very welcoming for children. I also support parents in re-parenting and building healthy boundaries with their children.

Because children and youth show their problems in different areas of their lives and in a variety of ways, and because children or adolescents who function well at home may have problems in another setting, such as in the classroom or with peers, parents or caregivers, may feel confused and anxious about meeting the needs of these children or youths. Some young people may show signs of anxiety or depression, while others may exhibit aggression, get in trouble with the law. I work together with these young people with mental health or addiction problems including their parents to agree upon evidence- based interventions that equip them to function better at home, in school and with peers.
