Child Psychologists and Child Therapists in South River, 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.

Children can be impacted by transitions and traumas in their lives. When they don’t know how to cope, the stress can build up. I provide safe and compassionate counselling where the child can talk about their feelings without the fear of being judged, better understand why they feel this way and learn strategies to move forward. I help children express their feelings and emotions through the lenses of play and art therapy combined with cognitive behavioural therapy for children. examples of common problems that can be addressed in my therapy: -bullying -loss/grief separation/divorce -depression, anxiety and panic -attachment disorder -behavioural challenges -learning difficulties

I work virtually and in-person with children and adolescents. Parents have told me that their children are more emotionally regulated and, overall, happier, as a result of therapy. The initial session is free so there is little risk in reaching out to schedule a session to determine if I am a good fit for your child. I offer in-person therapy in Orangeville (Mondays) and Inglewood (Fridays and Sundays). I offer virtual appointments on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday evenings as well as Sunday mornings and afternoons.

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.

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!

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.

Therapy with children offers a crucial avenue for emotional growth and development. Through play therapy, art therapy, and age-appropriate interventions, children learn to express and process complex emotions in a safe environment. Therapists help children understand and cope with issues such as trauma, anxiety, and family changes, fostering resilience and emotional intelligence. Therapy encourages healthy communication skills, problem-solving abilities, and self-esteem, equipping children with tools to navigate challenges and thrive in various aspects of their lives.
