Our compassionate team of Child Psychologists support many families in the Greater Edmonton area with overcoming challenging situations and reaching optimal development.

Children express their emotional experiences and needs through creative methods using art and play. Our Child Psychologists believe that it is important that we meet each child where they are at developmentally, without pushing too much. This allows each child to feel safe and to build trust with their Psychologist as a new adult in their life, which will lead to further emotional expression. Our Child Psychologists work with children to help them understand how they are feeling, learn how to express these emotions in healthy ways (rather than aggressively or holding them in), and make meaning of their life experiences.

Using art, sandplay and play-based therapy helps adults connect with children, as we are speaking their language. It helps children feel heard,  seen, and understood. Children learn that it is okay to address their fears, worries, and big emotions. In addition to using play and art-based therapy, our Psychologists weave in elements of evidence-based modalities such as CBT, DBT or Positive Psychology to teach children effective coping skills and strategies.

We look forward to helping your little ones learn valuable therapeutic tools and coping skills!
