Who We Serve
Our assessment work encompasses the diagnosis of learning disabilities, ADHD, giftedness, anxiety, behavioural challenges, autism, executive functioning and other mental health/behavioural issues. We provide child and parent counselling to address issues such as behaviour management, self-regulation, parent/child relationships, anxiety, self-esteem, motivation, managing screen time, school functioning and other areas.
Our educational work with older teens involves helping them prepare for post-secondary schooling, and conducting assessments required by colleges/universities to access accommodations. We also help older teens and young adults with issues related to ADHD, anxiety, mental health, motivation, self-esteem, relationships, behaviour, and executive functioning to help them meet their goals and experience success. We also work with families when they feel they need help with a certain issue., i.e. managing screen time, and motivation. Together, we can uncover long-standing patterns and start to embark on a better path.
A glimpse of our help:
“We are seeking counselling for our teenager to help with self-esteem and anxiety.”
“We are seeking an ADHD assessment and counselling for our teen. They have been using weed regularly and their grades are slipping..”
“We would like to learn how to support our 7 year old son who experiences big emotions. He does not deal well with disappointment and he seems to anger easily. He also has difficulty getting along with his younger sibling.”
“Our teenage daughter is very bright, but she needs help with executive functioning skills. She will be starting school soon and would like to be more organized, to focus better on her studies.”
