Child Psychologists and Child Therapists in Hope, BC.

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.

I treat children who present with ADHD. We would discuss strategies that work to provide support for your child to succeed in school, be happy socially, and improve their overall daily function. By accomplishing these goals, it would improve their self esteem and give them confidence in themselves to be successful. Additionally, we would use the creativity that comes with the ADHD brain to its full potential. Symptoms often include: struggle with time management, outbursts, talking excessively, being impulsive, forgetful, fidgeting, and many others. Using behaviour therapy techniques, such as CBT, we would jointly create a plan that is feasible, and address many symptoms.

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.

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.

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.

My approach to counselling children is rooted working with the parents. Incorporating principles of attachment theory, I recognize the significance of secure emotional bonds in a child's development. I aim to address any attachment-related concerns with parents directly which will support the child in developing healthy connections. I tailor interventions with the parents to meet the unique needs of each child. Through exploration of emotions, coping strategies, and building resilience, children benefit from a supportive environment that facilitates their emotional growth and overall well-being.
