At Solace Psychology & Wellness, our therapists in Edmonton and St. Albert understand that childhood can be both joyful and challenging, and that kids often don’t yet have the words to express what’s going on inside. That’s where child therapy comes in.

Is your child struggling with big emotions, frequent meltdowns, anxiety, trouble sleeping, difficulty focusing, or changes in mood and behaviour? Are they navigating a big life change, (like a move, parental separation, starting a new school, or the loss of a loved one) and finding it hard to cope? 

We provide a warm, welcoming, and child-friendly space designed to help children feel safe and supported. Our dedicated Play Therapy Room (Kids’ Calm Cove) was thoughtfully designed to encourage self-expression, emotional processing, and problem-solving through play and art. 

Using approaches like Play Therapy, Art Therapy, and Sandtray Therapy, our skilled Child Psychologists help children work through difficult emotions, manage anxiety, build self-esteem, strengthen problem-solving abilities, and improve social skills. Play and Art Therapy provide a creative outlet for expressing emotions children’s can’t yet verbalize, while sandtray work helps them visualize and reorganize experiences in a way that feels safe and empowering.

Our approach is compassionate, evidence-based, and collaborative. We work closely with parents/caregivers to ensure your child’s needs are supported both in therapy and at home. If additional support is needed, we have strong partnerships across Edmonton for services such as speech-language therapy, occupational therapy, and other child-focused resources.

At Solace, we believe every child has the ability to grow, heal, and thrive when given the right tools, guidance, and emotional space. Together, we can help your child build resilience, express themselves confidently, and navigate life’s challenges with courage and hope.
