Therapy on The Couch

In adolescent psychotherapy, a therapeutic relationship is developed through talking or play, depending on the age of the individual. The adolescent is provided with a safe platform to express themselves and work toward gaining control and a better understanding of themselves through the therapy.

Family therapy attempts to nurture change and development in both the child and the family system in order to create a more harmonious and conducive environment at home.

For children, significant life events such as the death of a family member, friend, or pet; a divorce, a family move/relocation/change of schools, physical abuse, sexual abuse, verbal abuse, neglect, trauma, a major illness in the family can cause stress that might lead to problems with behavior, mood, sleep, appetite, and academic or social functioning.

Individual therapy with a specialized Psychologist provides your child with a safe space to explore their world.

Art therapy is a form of expressive therapy that uses the creative process of making art to improve a person’s physical, mental, and emotional well-being.

The creative process involved in expressing one’s self artistically can help people to resolve issues as well as develop and manage their behaviors and feelings, reduce stress, and improve self-esteem and awareness.

A psychological assessment evaluates thinking, learning and behaviour. The assessment may include interviews, observation, testing and consultation with other professionals involved in your child’s care. Testing includes pencil and paper tasks, puzzles, drawing, and games. The assessment covers many skill areas, such as intellectual level, language, memory and learning, problem solving, fine motor skills, academic, behavioural and emotive skills.

Group therapy provides children,adolescents and adults with both peer and therapeutic support as they move through difficult issues in their life.
