Thank you to Teddy Freeze from Arcadia Health for educating our team on intensive therapy opportunities across the country. It’s nice to know that there are people out there who can help advocate when families are in crisis and need more intensive care than we offer at the outpatient clinic. We work with consultants who have personal experience visiting these facilities and know the type of care your family member will receive! Teddy is easy to talk to and very supportive!

We know times are tough, and doing your best is all you can do. We’d love to be a safe place to process when things get hard

For now, if all you can do is wake up and face the day the best you can, that’s enough. You don’t have to force motivation or pretend you’re okay.

Many people have asked why we have OT in the clinic and the reason is multifaceted. OTs have exercises and training in working with parts of our brain that are more instinctive or body based than talk therapy. And those parts “prime the pump” for the brain to regulate itself. Without mid brain work, clients often say “I tried it and it doesn’t work”. OT is also valuable for our staff as mental health providers do not get much education is these parts of the brain. Together we work as a team to find more effective mood regulating practices!

We love partnering with Sensory MVP! We just wish we could clone her.

Before a child can manage their emotions, they first need to notice them.
That begins with interoception — the hidden sense that helps the brain read the body’s signals.

A racing heart, a heavy chest, butterflies, a tight tummy — these are the body’s early messages.
When a child can’t interpret them, emotions can appear “sudden” or “out of nowhere.”
They’re not ignoring how they feel — their brain simply isn’t getting a clear signal yet.

Understanding interoception helps us respond with patience, not punishment — and teach children how to recognise what their body is trying to say.

Sounds like a great program. At our clinic, high structure/high nurture parenting is our first go to for most kids. In some cases, modifications need to be made. If you want resources on how to parent with evidence based success, we are happy to connect you. Sometimes therapy helps implementation of great books or podcasts.
