GRADE SCHOOL

Children age 5 – 12

Our Approach

Children learn best when therapy is enjoyable and engaging, so our interventions are designed to be child-centred, highly personalized, and focused on fostering resilience and strength.

We’re careful to involve caregivers in the therapeutic process to both enhance the child’s progress and empower caregivers to feel more confident in navigating their child’s mental health challenges with confidence.

POST SECONDARY

Adolescents age 13 – 17

Our Approach

This stage of life brings both exciting change and new challenges which will often cause teenagers to feel misunderstood or isolated.

We offer a safe, private, non-judgemental space where teens can freely express themselves and discuss issues like depression, anxiety, social isolation, sexual identity, substance use, low self-esteem, and the stresses of school and relationships. We also provide therapeutic support for caregivers that will strengthen the parent-child relationship.

CAREER & FAMILY

Young Adults age 18 – 22

Adults age 23 – 29

Our Approach

As we transition into adulthood, we often carry with us stories about who we are and what we should become, but these stories can limit our potential.

Our evidence-based interventions will help you explore patterns, emotions and behaviours, giving you the tools to navigate your inner critic and change unhealthy patterns. We’ll help you achieve lasting change and personal growth to become the person you aspire to be.
