The new signage is officially up at Family Tree Therapy 🌿✨

Every time we walk up to the building, we’re reminded of the heart behind this space and the families we’re here to support.

Huge shoutout to 2Xtreme Signs & Apparel for bringing our vision to life so beautifully. We couldn’t be happier with how it turned out!

So many kids feel overwhelmed by screens, but the answer isn’t just turning devices off, it’s about how we use them 💡
This article breaks down a “digital diet”. Which is not about saying no to screens, but about noticing which screen time helps you feel good and which leaves you drained.

A great read if you want to help your children having a happier and healthier relationship with screens.✨

Seriously though, please check it out because my whole heart (and a couple of tears) went into creating this digital space and I’d love to hear what you think!

Family Tree.

Sneak Peek 👀✨

Something special is growing… 🌿
�We’re creating three intentional play therapy spaces, each designed to feel safe, engaging, and grounded — where children can express, process, and heal through play.

We can’t wait to open these doors and welcome families in soon. 🤍

New toy added to our collection!

Every item we choose is thoughtfully selected through research and care. Representation in the play therapy space truly matters. We include toys and figures that reflect diverse cultures, races, family structures, and abilities. For example, one of our newest dolls includes a cochlear implant.

When children see themselves and their loved ones reflected in play, it creates powerful moments of connection: “That looks like me” or “That reminds me of my grandma.” These moments support a child’s sense of belonging and being seen in the world.Representation in play also helps gently introduce diversity, empathy, and understanding through a child’s natural language, play.

Kids notice change quickly, and even positive changes, like moving into a brighter, bigger space, can stir up big feelings. 🌈
�Some of our little ones shared how they feel about our upcoming move: excited, nervous, curious… and everything in between.

At Family Tree Therapy, we honour all of those feelings.�Change can feel overwhelming for kids, especially when routines shift or familiar spaces look different. This is why we take time to prepare them, create predictability, and welcome every emotion with care.

As we get ready to settle into our new home, we’ll continue to make therapy feel safe, playful, and fun, no matter the address. 🏡💛

It’s Friday, which means it’s time to shout out to our furry therapist, Winston! 🐾

He loves cuddles, tug-of-war, and even being a ‘puppy patient’ in a game of doctor during sessions. The office is brighter with this little guy around! 💛

🌈Big feelings can build up in little bodies.�This exercise helps kids take deep breaths, feel their emotions, and then rip the paper to let it all out.�It’s a fun, safe way to show that it’s okay to feel mad, sad, or frustrated, and that there are healthy ways to let those feelings go. 💛
