Child therapists in Lively, Ontario ON, Canada CA
Michelle Iacobucci
Registered Psychotherapist, RP
My approach when working with children under 12 years old is to ensure that they are provided with a positive and safe experience of therapy. I prefer to tailor therapy to their developmental stage by creating a fun environment that may involve play, art, and activities during sessions. Discussions about their interests, skills, and special talents and abilities are at the forefront of our therapeutic conversations to help build confidence and feelings of positivity. My background in relational therapy may invite parents or siblings into sessions as well. Please contact me for a free consultation if you are interested in determining if I would be a good fit for your child/children.

Registered Psychotherapist, Registered Psychotherapist
Counselling kids is not the same thing as counselling adults! I am an experienced child therapist with practice and training in working specifically with children and their parents. I use a warm, play-integrated, and CBT-centered approach with kids struggling with issues such as anger, anxiety, behavioural concerns, and ADHD. I offer a free initial consult call.

Kelly O'Hearn, Space to Pause Psychotherapy
Registered Psychotherapist, RP (Qualifying), CYW
With a background as a Child and Youth Worker, I support youth with a variety of complex concerns, including managing social relationships, balancing school needs, and managing symptoms of worry and fear. Using creativity and creating a safe space where youth can feel like themselves, I support each youth in feeling more confident, secure, and in building more supportive connections with those around them.

Melanie Wuytenburg
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, MSW, RSW
I enjoy working with children and youth to help them unfold the complexities of the world around them.
My child-centred framework utilizes creative activities to establish healthy ways of coping that allows your child to understand their emotions, thoughts and the the world around them.
Over the course of my career, I have worked with children and youth experiencing various issues including: anxiety, depression, self-esteem, grief, anger management, trauma, transitions from birth home to foster/adoptive or kin home, self-injury behaviours, substance and alcohol abuse, difficulty with school transitions, caregivers separating or divorced, exposure to intimate partner violence, and navigating challenges at school.
