When we approach a child’s behaviour as communication, we can open the door to gentle curiosity to explore what needs, feelings, or experiences might be underlying their behaviour. Tuning in with empathy and a sense of adventure instead of judgement, we create a safe space for kids to explore their Superpowers, grow and thrive.

Using your Superpowers makes a world of difference for yourself and others ✨

Play therapists are trained to help kids understand and express their emotions, process experiences, and develop coping skills through play. In our playrooms, we use toys, art, sand trays, and storytelling to create a safe space where kids can work through challenges (like anxiety, trauma, behavioural issues, or family changes) and grow their emotional, communication, and relational skills to overcome them.

Our team of experienced Registered Psychologists, Registered Social Workers, and Registered Provisional Psychologists have comprehensive play therapy training, including child development, therapeutic play techniques, and strategies to support children and adolescents’ emotional and social growth in a way that’s natural and comfortable for kids.

Anxiety can knock on anyone’s door.

When we experience anxious feelings (which our child therapists often call “ugly ugh feelings”, “tricky feelings”, or “worried feelings” when talking to kids), our mind might respond by dwelling on and fixating on worst case scenarios.

Overestimating the likelihood of a worst case scenario is called “catastrophising”. “De-catastrophising” flips that approach.

To tackle the challenges of anxious feelings, we can use our curiosity, pausing, and courage (Superpower!) strengths to explore new patterns. Imagining the possibility of best-case —or even “okay” scenarios— helps us spring back from overwhelming, racing, worried, fearful, anxious thoughts, back into our calm, present, empowered (Superhero!) self.

This beautiful quote is from Canadian author David A. Robertson’s book “All The Little Monsters” where he courageously shares his personal experiences with chronic anxiety and depression, and offers insights and coping strategies that he has found helpful.
