PSYCHOTHERAPY / COUNSELLING
Psychotherapy:
Psychotherapy is a term used to describe the treatment of various mental health concerns. In particular, child and youth psychotherapy focuses on helping the young client and parents/caregivers learn about a child's mood, feelings, thoughts and behaviours. Child and youth psychotherapists help their clients to understand and articulate their feelings. This can be done through a variety of ways, such as, play, drawing, worksheets and roleplay activities as well as talking about events or previous experiences.
Psychotherapy Initial Intake:
The Psychotherapy Initial Intake allows the psychotherapist and parent/caregiver to further discuss the child/youth mental health concerns. During this parent only intake, further information regarding family history, child's development and social/emotional needs are discussed. Goals for therapy and a treatment plan are also determined at this meeting.
Psychotherapy Session:
Following the Psychotherapy Initial Intake, psychotherapy sessions are scheduled to implement the treatment plan and to address therapy goals. This can be done with either parents/caregivers or child/youth or a combination of both.

Counselling/Social Work Services:
The purpose of counselling is to reduce strain, ease mental health concerns and increase your quality of life. Individuals may seek counselling when they have thoughts, feelings, moods and behaviours that are adversely affecting their daily lives and relationships. Social Workers/Counsellors work together with their clients to bring about positive change in their thinking, feeling, behaviour and social functioning. This is done in a variety of ways including helping clients find solutions and make choices through the exploration of options, identification of strengths and needs, location of information and providing resources and promoting a variety of coping strategies.
Counselling Initial Intake:
The Initial Intake meeting allows the counsellor and client to further discuss the client’s mental health concerns. During this intake appointment, information regarding family history, health history and social/emotional needs are discussed to help build the assessment picture.

Counselling Session:
Following the Initial Intake, counselling sessions are scheduled to implement the treatment plan and to address therapy goals. We suggest weekly sessions at the start of counselling so that report can be built and a momentum can get started.
We offer both in-person and virtual sessions for your convenience.
