Children's Therapy

When working with kids I always make sure to meet them where they’re at and meet their questions with curiosity. A lot of the time our children know that something is wrong but don’t have the words or experience to explain it or to ask for help. By offering a slower paced form of talk therapy we can get to the root of what’s bothering our kiddos. During sessions with children we will often colour, play games, and talk about what seems to be inconsequential for some but it allows them to bloom in a safe space and allows for them to feel free to express themselves and how they feel. The most important thing for me when working with children is that they feel safe and heard and that they know they have someone on their side and who will be advocating for them and who will help them to share what’s been on their mind without it getting lost in the shuffle. It will often take a few sessions for kiddos to feel comfortable sharing what’s really going on and I approach all sessions with patience and the understanding that I have to work a little harder to become their safe space but I feel honoured that I can offer them that.
