Learn how to harness your Parenting Powers with the help of our skilled therapists and evidence-based strategies! Modern families are complex, and new roles can be confusing. Maybe your family needs help developing healthy boundaries, or maybe there are communication issues that need to be resolved. Our child and family therapy experts can identify dysfunctional interactions while helping to improve problem-solving abilities and coping skills for both you and your child.
If left unaddressed, child and family issues can fester which is why it’s important to tackle them head-on. Our goal is to help mend the bond between parent and child, and amongst siblings, allowing the family to heal. By combining Child & Teen Counselling with Parent Coaching, our GTA-based therapists will help your family see transformative results after just a few sessions!
Benefits
- Reduce problem behaviours (e.g., talking-back, whining, property destruction, etc.)
- Enhance your child’s independence so they can complete their homework and chores without you having to keep asking them
- Improve your child's communication and social skills, allowing them to enrich their lives both in and out of the home
- Learn effective ways to change your child's behaviours, so you can spend more time doing the things you enjoy
- Most importantly, you can improve your relationship with your kiddo(s)
This service starts with one of our experts in behaviour science conducting an interview in order to assess your family’s needs. You and your therapist will then discuss if it’s most beneficial to focus on Child & Teen Counselling, Parent Coaching, or both.
Child & Teen Counselling will involve the therapist building genuine rapport with your child by establishing a caring environment that allows your child to express themselves freely. The therapist will guide your child through any issues they may be facing, and allow them to de-stress by incorporating mindfulness within the session.
Parent Coaching involves training you with a wide range of evidence-based strategies that help change your child’s behaviour (and not your child). We use Behaviour Skills Training so that these fundamental skills (e.g., how and when to use reinforcement) will stick with you for the long haul!
