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.

In my approach to counseling and helping children, I prioritize creating a nurturing and safe environment where children feel heard, understood, and validated. Utilizing a child-centered approach, I employ age-appropriate therapeutic techniques such as play therapy, art therapy, and storytelling to facilitate self-expression and exploration of emotions.

Through gentle guidance and empathetic support, children develop coping skills, resilience, and a sense of empowerment.

I offer children a safe place to express their feelings and provide guidance to support them in managing experiences that they are finding overwhelming. I focus on developing a healthy and trusting connection first and foremost and use a strength based lens in which children can feel empowered to grow. Children often need validation from a safe adult so being able to connect and listen non-judgementally is of crucial importance to me in this work.

When working with young children, I do so as a secure attachment specialist. I typically work not just with the child(ren) but the family as an entire system of support and healing. My goal is to support the parent(s) of the child in learning secure attachment practices until the child begins to seek them out for support and guidance. When appropriate I co-counsel with my colleague Jamie Sabourin who also specializes in working with teens and children.

Critically important with youth is to build rapport through an interest shared by them and often this is better achieved through conversation. I work with kids who are verbal and who are open to counselling, usually youth or teens. Once rapport and trust are established it becomes possible for the child to share information very sensitive to them, and this openness allows problems such as depression, anxiety, ADHD to be understood and addressed.

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.

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, 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.

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.
