Sessions may address:

• Giving psycho-education (information about the psychological issue your child is dealing with)

• Consulting about ways you can connect with your child to enhance your parent-child relationship. We believe that having a healthy relationship with your child will go miles to help them adjust to current and future challenges.

• Assigning homework-typically activities to support your child, track behaviour, or for parenting development

• Parent coaching, sharing tips, giving referrals, progress summaries and resource suggestions

• Targeted EMDR services for “parenting triggers”. Often times your child will trigger you and you might find yourself overreacting, or acting in a way you aren’t proud of. Doing this starts a negative back and forth between you and your child. That’s when EMDR for parenting triggers can be helpful. As you desensitize these triggers you will begin to react differently toward your child and start re-patterning the interaction you have when they are dysregulated. You will begin to role model self-regulation and play the co-regulator role competently. 

• Bring up the parenting issues you'd like support with
