Helping children, youth and families with anxiety
We specialize in supporting children and youth who are struggling to manage anxiety in day to day life. This may look like panic attacks, social anxiety, separation anxiety, phobias or obsessive-compulsive disorder - and without adequate support, may have escalated to substance misuse, self-harm or suicide ideation.
Neurodivergent-Affirming Practice for Autistic / ADHD children and youth
As a neurodivergent-affirming practice, we bring extensive experience in supporting children and youth to understand how the world is designed for neurotypical individuals - and as a result, anxiety may be a safety response for an autistic or ADHD brain. As clients explore their own identity and specific needs, they are able to understand why anxiety may occur and can learn how to proactively reduce triggers, calm the sympathetic system response and navigate episodes of anxiety.
