Child Psychologists and Child Therapists in Delisle, SK.

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!

My style and approach is one that readily engages children and youth in a trusting and safe relationship. I use directive activities to address issues such as anger, trauma, stress reduction, social skills and self-esteem. Play based activities are used to engage otherwise resistant children to help them verbalize their presenting issues, reduce their anxiety and encourage self-disclosure. The children and their parents walk away with effective tools.

Parenting can be stressful when you see that your child is struggling and you are at a loss for how to help. For best results, sessions aimed at helping young children can be expected to include working with the parents or caregivers to support and strengthen family relationships. I offer therapy for young children struggling with issues such as abuse, trauma, anxiety, depression, divorce, and attachment. Play therapy allows children to express the problems that they may not be able to verbalize.

My approach to counseling for young children is based on the Neufeld Institute's Intensive Training course which seeks to view and understand child development through the lens of vulnerability, maturation, and attachment, and to support parents in understanding and addressing the underlying needs and concerns beneath behavioral issues. In working with kiddos I use recreational tools and play techniques to encourage participation and create a safe and supportive environment.

As an educator, working with children and families is my long-time passion. I use an integrated approach that incorporates social-emotional learning, play and art therapy to help children and families understand their existing patterns of behaviour and learn new ways to interact. Therapy focuses on learning skills to regulate emotions and how to create deep and meaningful connections.

Bev loves children and uses fun and play as she works with children. Adlerian techniques help Bev understand family dynamics so that Bev can help parents understand how to better interact with their own children. Bev also works directly with young children helping them to grieve, or to learn how to manage their own feelings in better ways, The homey environment of the office and the gentle interaction causes children to love to come for counselling; children are often reluctant to have counselling come to an end. Bev's philosophy is that what children need most is that their own parents are equipped in learning how to hear them, how to invite co-operation and how to problem-solve together.

I work with children aged 6+ and begin with exploring and establishing the parameters within which children feel safe. Depending on what those parameters might be, we might use art therapy to establish boundaries (for example, by validating client's inner knowledge of what is 'good' or 'bad'), or to make space for difficult feelings.

The priority however, is always to maintain safety by only exploring the parameters of growth in a careful way in each session. My sessions with children are preceded with one full session with a parent(s) or caregiver(s

My approach includes working with the parent or caregiver to strengthen the connection and offer strategies to utilize at home.
