ABOUT
Bright Star Counselling
If you're a new client or visitor reading this, let us be the first to say welcome to Bright Star Counselling! Since 2018, our specialized team of child and family therapists have supported children, youth, and their families at our pediatric therapy clinic based in Port Moody BC. Not only do we provide evidence-based assessments and treatment for children and youth mental health at our clinic in person, but also we provide services virtually (i.e. online) across British Columbia.
About Our Approach to Child & Youth Counselling
Our approach primarily focuses on building up your child's strengths. We develop thorough treatment plans to support common childhood mental health struggles such as anxiety, depression, and emotional regulation struggles. We support children and their families to learn coping skills and build resilience.
Sessions are held at the pace in which your child feels ready to be open to our therapy services, rather than applying a one-size-fits-all number of therapy sessions to each family's treatment plan.
Not only do we provide support and therapy to children between ages 2-12, but also we provide therapy and support for their family members including parents, siblings, grandparents, and even caregivers and educators. This aligns with one of our many values at Bright Star Counselling, which you can read more about below.
Our Top Beliefs at
Bright Star Counselling
-
We believe in every child's potential and build on their unique strengths to form the resilience and tools they need to navigate life.
-
We believe that the family as a whole is key to a child's overall mental wellness. This is why when you're a client at our pediatric therapy clinic, we treat your entire family, not just your child.
-
We believe it truly does take a village to raise a child. That's why we offer services to caregivers, educators, and communities in addition to families. These people matter to us as well because they are all part of a child's circle of care.
-
We believe in the power of evidence-based therapy techniques and that staying in touch with current research in the pediatric mental health field is key to providing the services families need. That's why our team consists only of clinicians and students who specifically specialize in pediatric mental health. We are not generalists–we make sure families feel they're getting treatment and support at a first class clinic, as we have the most current training and our finger on the pulse of new, evidence-based child therapy. We don't hire just anyone to work at our clinic–we only hire the very best.
