Child Psychologists and Child Therapists in Almonte, ON.

Sandra Forbes, Relationship Solutions helps parents help their children. Challenges faced by children are addressed by understanding the child and people involved and the family. In some situations the children who come to Relationship Solutions have been diagnosed with for example aspergers syndrome, ADD or ADHD. They also may have no diagnosis and yet there are challenges identified. How parents work with their children in a way that works best for all family members (including themselves!) is where we focus. We are experts at Identifying family patterns that are working well and others that were once effective and may need now to shift.

Accepting new clients! Some children experience significant stress at home or at school. Are your children struggling to adjust to changes in their personal lives or within the family? Are you going through a separation or divorce that is affecting your children? Is your partner dealing with addiction? Remember, children's brains are still developing and may not fully understand their circumstances. They might blame themselves for family issues, have behavioural issues or face mental health challenges themselves. I’m here to help—contact me today!

While I do not work with youth under the age of 16, our clinic has many child and family therapists who are availability to schedule a free consultation.

Children are often impacted by family dynamics and for that reason, at Psychotherapy Collective our approach to working with children aged 6-11 is a family based approach. While I do not work with children under the age of 12, we have many therapists on our team who work with children aged 6-11. I encourage you to view our approach to child and family therapy (https://www.psychotherapycollective.ca/services/child-and-family-therapy) and schedule a consultation with one of our family therapists to see if they are the proper fit for your journey.

Children can often exhibit externalizing or internalizing behaviors when they are unable to express themselves or process/cope with their feelings and emotions. Therapy can be a safe space for children to make sense of their feelings through creative and engaging means. Depending on age, working with young children can entail working with parents on how to best support their child in what they are going through and to give parents a space to reflect on the kind of parent they want to be while expressing concerns or personal challenges they may be experiencing.
