Child, Pre-Teen, and Teen Counselling
Our child and youth counsellors use a person-centered and trauma-informed approach. This means they understand that we are complex beings made up of many beautiful parts and experiences.
They seek to understand how our identity, experiences, and environment (work, school, home, relationships, etc.) impact not only the way that we feel and behave, but also the way that we cope.
Their approach is a collaborative one, centered on recognizing and valuing the strength, resilience, and skills that are already present within each person.
Not sure where to start? Feel free to give us a call and we’ll ensure your kiddo is matched with the perfect counsellor for their needs!
