Sessions can be done individually or in groups, while always involving you, the parent or caregiver. We offer counselling for children and youth, couples, and families.

Therapies

Treatments we can provide include Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Dialectical Behavioural Therapy, Speech-language therapy, play therapy, and even dog/pet therapy.

Home and Community Visits

Our team works closely with local school staff, family doctors, and other mental health practices in the community to evaluate how your child is doing and provide support when it’s needed.

Workshops

Would you like to help your child thrive outside our clinic’s regular hours? We provide workshops for children, youth, and families as well as a social skills group.

School Visits

Children may need a little extra support when it comes to school. We’re proud to serve the schools in our community of Port Moody BC and beyond by visiting and training the teachers.
