Is your child bullied or isolated from others? Is your child reluctant to go to school, has trouble making friends, or seems withdrawn and lonely? Many children have trouble with self confidence, anxiety or social skills. Improving self esteem, emotional regulation, and social skills deficits in the younger years reduces difficulties later. We all want the best for our children, and as a parent myself I know how it can hurt to watch your child suffer and not know how to help. Find out how your child can be helped by in-person counselling, online coaching, or online educational programs.

Dr. Terri Buysse provides play therapy to meet young children at their developmental level and speak their language to help them express their feelings and to help them learn new skills. She also works with the parent(s) to help them understand what is going on for their child and learn positive parenting skills so they can support their child through difficult times and be the very best parents they want to be.

Julianne started her practice from 2007 in a psychiatric center, and continued to provide counseling in elementary and middle schools. She recently worked in a community mental health center focused on Child and Family therapy before starting her own private practice. When children’s behavior becomes needy or aggressive, have trouble with concentrating, sleeping or appetite, they are having a tough time to find a balanced approach to deal with the situation they are in. Julianne provides creative and professional coping strategies for parents and children. Through therapy, children learn better strategies to adapt to their family, school, and life difficulties.
