Our Services

☻

Art & Play Therapy

Art and play therapy can help people to address their emotional needs. Art and play in a therapeutic setting encourages the people to learn more about their nervous system, thinking/ behaviour patterns and gain the ability to self-regulate and self-advocate.

❋

Parent Coaching

Parent coaching can help you to gain insight into your approaches and reactions to your child.  Learn to shift your lens and gain skills to support your child where they're at.

✦

Supervision

Support for other counsellors/ therapists looking for insight, guidance, and supervision around using art and play therapy to best assist those with complex disabilities.  Offering clinical supervision for those seeking to become an RCAT, CCC, or RCC.
