Child Psychologists and Child Therapists in Powassan, ON.

Our therapists use play to help children to process their emotions, articulate their needs to their care givers and develop empathy. Children participate in therapy with their parents so that parents can help their child to use what they are learning outside of the therapy setting. Children will learn how to deal with thoughts and emotions and learn the vocabulary they will need to communicate with others.

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. Since children are often impacted by family dynamics, we often find the most effective way to work with children, ages 6-11, is within the context of family therapy.

Growing up can be challenging and sometimes leave youth feeling confused, frustrated, or misunderstood. I strive to make them feel accepted for who they are and feel heard and validated. Promoting a safe and judgment free environment is a priority and necessary for youth to be able to let their guard down and communicate openly. Together we look at areas of life that are challenging for them and identify the factors that are contributing to the difficulties they are experiencing. We then work on managing those areas more effectively by developing positive coping strategies and emotions management skills. I have a passion working with youth and encourage you to book a free consultation.

Children’s behaviour is often a reflection of their internal experience. Including parents/caregivers in therapy can provide the opportunity for parents to help their child better understand their emotional experiences, to facilitate helpful communication, and to provide an environment that fosters both security and independence. I work with individuals, couples, children and families. Book a free consultation to explore if we are a good fit for therapy.

I provide support for youth and adolescents (age 16+) affected by mood disorders, psychosis, anxiety, and other mental health challenges. My approach is compassionate, trauma-informed, and strengths-based, helping young clients build resilience, manage emotions, and develop coping strategies. Using CBT, DBT, and Solution-Focused Therapy, I create a safe, supportive space where they can express themselves, gain confidence, and navigate challenges with guidance and care.
