Child/Youth Counselling
Building rapport with your youth is the important first step to addressing concerns or challenges they may be facing. Sessions may include art therapeutic interventions, psycho-education, and building a toolbox of skills to address future challenges.
Sessions may also include collaborative problem-solving with parents and the youth, as well as looking at adjustments that could be made to the youth’s environment to best suit their individual needs ( for example: incorporating more sensory input/activities, developing family rhythms, adjusting daily routines, sleep hygiene improvements)
