Adrienne Sharma-Richardson PhD MEd RP OCT
Registered Psychotherapist, Registered Gestalt Psychotherapist Somatic Experiencing Practitioner Gottman Trained Couples Therapist
With my many years in education I am able and skilled at working with and relating to children and adolescents.
However what I believe makes me truly effective is that I am approachable.
What can I say kids like my smile!
It's also probably because I am still a kid at heart, and because I know what its like for kids to suffer trauma.
My father died when I was 10, he was an alcoholic and was abusive.
I grew up with prejudice, as I am half East Indian.
I moved out when I was 15 because I couldn't stand my step-father.
I started using drugs when I was 13 stopped at 26.
I believe kids need structure and discipline to keep them safe.
My students always said Miss Richardson is really tough.
She is firm but fair, and we have fun!

Magdalena Karakehayova
Registered Psychotherapist, RP
Children can often exhibit externalizing or internalizing behaviors when they are unable to express themselves or process/cope with their feelings and emotions. Therapy can be a safe space for children to make sense of their feelings through creative and engaging means. Depending on age, working with young children can entail working with parents on how to best support their child in what they are going through and to give parents a space to reflect on the kind of parent they want to be while expressing concerns or personal challenges they may be experiencing. Schedule a free 15-minute consultation to ensure we are a good fit.

Simerpreet Ahuja, Soul Immersion Psychotherapy
Registered Psychotherapist, PhD in Psychology
I work with children and adolescents facing a range of challenges such as anxiety, depression, behavioural issues, self-esteem issues and relationship issues. My approach integrates evidence-based techniques such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Humanistic, Attachment-Based and Psychodynamic approaches to address these issues effectively. I believe that fostering self-esteem is crucial in empowering young individuals to thrive. Through collaborative therapy sessions, I empower my clients to recognize their strengths, cultivate resilience, and overcome obstacles with confidence. Furthermore, I place great emphasis on establishing healthy boundaries as a cornerstone of mental well-being. By fostering clear communication and self-advocacy skills, I guide my clients in establishing boundaries that promote healthy relationships and emotional well-being. In my work, I integrate principles of secure attachment to nurture healthy connections and support emotional resilience. Through nurturing and supportive interventions, I help children and adolescents build secure attachments, fostering trust, empathy, and emotional regulation. Additionally, I use inner child work, which involves exploring and healing past wounds to promote inner healing and growth. In summary, my therapeutic approach is grounded in compassion and evidence-based practices. I believe in creating a nurturing and affirming therapeutic environment where children and adolescents can explore their emotions, develop coping strategies, and embark on a journey toward holistic well-being.
