🌿 Now Accepting New Counselling Clients 🌿
We are pleased to share that Psychotherapist Andre Stam, MACP, RP, is now accepting clients for in-person and remote counselling.
Andre brings experience supporting children, teens, adults, and couples through:
✨ Anxiety, stress, and emotional regulation
✨ Relationship challenges
✨ Insomnia and Sleep Disorders
✨ Self-esteem, confidence, and identity work
✨ Behavioural concerns in children and youth
✨ Trauma-informed support
✨ ADHD, neurodivergence, and executive functioning skills
✨ Conflict resolution and boundary setting
✨ Grief, loss, and life transitions
✨ Coping strategies for daily overwhelm
His approach is grounded in the belief that people are not broken, and therefore do not need to be fixed—only supported, understood, and empowered to thrive. Andre combines cognitive-behavioural strategies, developmental understanding, and compassionate therapeutic guidance tailored to each client’s unique needs.
If you or your child are seeking support, guidance, or a safe space to grow, Andre is here to help.

Thanks Kids Zen Inc. for these helpful tips this holiday season:

With the holidays upon us, family gatherings can be exciting… and a lot for some kids. New faces, loud rooms, changed routines, and social expectations can stir up big feelings; especially for children who are shy, anxious, or highly sensitive!

Here are a few gentle ways to help your child navigate large family groups with confidence:

1. Prepare Ahead Together → Talk about what to expect: who will be there, what the environment might feel like, and what your child can do if they start feeling overwhelmed. Predictability helps reduce anxiety.

2. Create a Safe Start → Instead of pushing for big hellos, allow your child to warm up at their own pace. A wave, a smile, or simply staying close to you at first is perfectly okay.

3. Pack Comfort Tools → Bring along items that help soothe: headphones, a fidget toy, a book, or anything familiar that helps them feel grounded.

4. Honour Their Temperament → Every child is wired differently. Sensitive, cautious, and observant kids are not “too much” or “not enough,” they simply need gentle pacing and understanding.

5. Celebrate Small Wins → Did your child say Hi? Join a game? Stay in the room a few minutes longer? That’s fantastic! These steps matter ❤️
