Team Tuesday with Anne!

Meet Anne outside the office.

Bonjour! Outside of work, Anne has a love of French language and culture. She does an amazing job teaching children the French language.

From learning French to enjoying delicious French food (yes... that baguette looked too good to resist! 🥖), she enjoys exploring everything France has to offer. I wonder what other languages Anne also speaks? You can ask her when you next come for your appointment.

🇫🇷 If you could visit one country tomorrow, where would you choose?

A huge thank you to Jen!

Today was Jen’s last day at the practice. We are sad that Jen is leaving us, but so excited for new possibilities. Jen is working with different clients in her new clinic to complete her final requirements for her Clinical Masters program.

Being a parent can sometimes feel like being lost in a maze. So many decisions and concerns to address.

Do you sometimes feel lost about what to do? Wondering if something you are concerned about is really a concern? Not sure who to ask or which therapy or professional might help?

Psychology is not only just about therapy. We also help parents navigate decisions about their children's development. We can help by providing guidance to parents who feel lost about which professional can help.

We can help you step out of the maze and feel like you have clarity and a plan. We can see you by Telehealth or in-person.

THERAPY THURSDAY: Children communicating while drawing

Some children communicate better while drawing.

For some children, sitting face-to-face and talking can feel overwhelming. Drawing alongside a therapist can reduce pressure and help thoughts and feelings flow more naturally.

Often, children begin sharing important experiences while their hands are busy creating. Sometimes their drawings are also important to express what it's like for them.

If you would like to find out more about how we can help your child or adolescent, please make contact. There are so many ways we can help.
