Self-esteem issues...
​
​
Anxiety
For little and big kids alike, daily life can sometimes feel so big, it's hard to control the worry. Your child's clinician can help them calm these worries and learn to manage them when they arise.
Depression
Young minds of all ages can reveal depression in many ways, from not wanting to hang out with friends to feeling grumpy and irritable. Your clinician can help your child understand these emotions and start feeling like themselves again.
Trauma
Scary events can have a lasting affect on young minds. Your clinician can help your child or teen process those traumatic memories so they aren't so scary anymore.
Emotional Regulation
When children and teens struggle to regulate their emotions, the simplest tasks can feel like struggle. A strengths-based approach can give your youth the skills and confidence to navigate these emotional rollercoasters.
Behavioural Regulation
"Misbehaving" is a child's way of showing that they're struggling. Your clinician can help your child or teen express their thoughts and feelings in a safe, non-judgmental way, and develop the skills needed to let their true self shine.
Self-Esteem
When children and teens struggle to know their worth, it shows up in every aspect of their lives, from the friends they pick to the decisions they make. Your clinician can help your child recognize and celebrate their strengths, while also building resilience to face life's daily challenges.
Talking to someone new can be an anxiety-provoking experience (for kids and adults alike!); that's why it's so important to connect with your child on a personal level so they feel safe and supported to share their thoughts and feelings. I'll listen without judgement, help your child learn new ways to understand themselves, and work with your child to heal their emotional wounds (e.g., EMDR therapy). I'll also help your child develop the skills and strategies to successfully manage life's daily challenges.
