Improving Your Child's Well Being
How do I know if my child needs help?
How do I know if my child needs help?
We use a variety of approaches and theoretical models, such as R&R, Floortime, Pivotal Response Treatment, ABA, cognitive behavioural therapy, mindfulness, and Circle of Security. The approach used is tailored to each client's individual needs.
Do you accept direct billing?
Not at this time. You will have to submit your claim to your insurance company to be reimbursed. You are sent a detailed receipt after each appointment and most clients receive reimbursement 24-48 hours after they submit their receipt to their provider.
Do I need a credit or debit card to book an appointment?
We require a credit card or Visa debit card to be kept on file in order to book an appointment. If you do not have one, or prefer not to keep one on file we will require a deposit equivalent to a 1 hour session fee to be kept on file in the form of etransfer or cash in order to book an appointment.. This will stay as a credit on your account.
Parents often struggle to know what is "normal" kid behaviour and what requires some extra help. If any characteristic, or combination of characteristics, is impacting your child's day-to-day functioning in one or more area of his or her life, you may want to consider reaching out.
What can I expect at my initial appointment?
At your first appointment, we will have you complete information forms about your child while we play with them. You will then discuss the information on these forms thoroughly, review some initial strategies, and be given some homework, as well as a laid out plan for treatment going forward.
How long does each therapy session take and how many sessions are required?
Therapy sessions typically last 50 minutes,although there is a 30 minute option as well. How many therapy sessions may be needed is dependent upon presenting concerns. A clear plan for treatment is developed together with the child (where applicable) and family.
