Play therapy uses toys, art, and storytelling to help children express emotions they can’t yet put into words. Children’s counselling includes both play and conversation, depending on the child’s age and developmental level.

Each child is unique. Some children benefit from short-term support (6–10 sessions), while others require ongoing therapy over several months. Progress is reviewed regularly with parents.

Yes, we believe in a team approach. With your consent, we'll coordinate with your teen's current psychologist or psychiatrist to ensure their care is seamless and integrated.
