Vanessa Charvin Counselling for Children and Youth

Description

Children develop in their own unique time and way, and are naturally resilient. Sometimes, this resiliency needs to be nurtured in order for a child to heal from difficult experiences, cope with everyday life, and gain new ways of being. If your child is struggling with anxiety, self/emotional regulation, or behaviour, you as a parent/caregiver can feel at a loss for what to do. Therapy can help any child, regardless of age or ability. I strive to tap into each young person's innate coping skills and creativity, by providing an accepting place for self-expression and growth.
I will carefully choose therapy approaches for your child/youth based on their development, interests, comfort-level, and most pressing needs or symptoms. Treatment may include play-therapy, expressive activities such as art, social-skill development, and learning and practicing new ways of thinking and behaving (Cognitive-Behavioural Therapy). Over 20 years as an educator, consultant, and counsellor for children, including those with challenges such as ASD, ADHD, and behaviour difficulties, I have refined my skills in adapting treatment for any child. I look forward to working with you, the parent/caregiver as a partner in your special young person's healing. Contact me today for more information or to book an appointment.
