Child and Family Therapy
We offer a comprehensive approach to emotional well-being, combining Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Therapeutic Play, and Emotion Focused Therapy (EFT). Melissa works with children to help them understand and manage their emotions, while also supporting families in strengthening their bonds and communication. By actively involving parents in the therapy process, we create a collaborative environment that fosters growth and healing for the entire family.
Youth and Teen Counselling (13-18 Yrs)
Watching our teens navigate the turbulent waters of adolescence can be a daunting experience. From the pressures of school and social life to the emotional rollercoaster of hormones and identity, it's easy to feel overwhelmed. Our counselors understand this journey firsthand and are committed to providing a safe and supportive space for your teen to express themselves freely. Through creative techniques, we empower teens to manage the internal and external transitions of this challenging phase, addressing topics like drug use, sexuality, and self-identity. With our guidance, your teen can emerge from this period stronger, more confident, and better equipped to face the future.
Specialized Parent Support
As our children journey through life's stages, so too do our roles as parents. Sometimes, we are so overwhelmed by the things we read and hear from social media, such as "gentle parenting", that we begin to lose our parenting confidence that we are doing it "right". The challenges of adolescence or the shifting dynamics of a growing family can leave us feeling overwhelmed and unsure of how to best support family.
Melissa offers a lifeline, providing guidance and support to help parents navigate these transitions with grace. By working together, we can find practical solutions to restore harmony and connection within our families, creating a stronger foundation for everyone to thrive.
