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!

EMDR and Trauma Therapy Centre
Registered Social Worker, Registered Social Worker, MSW, RSW
Child and adolescent issues reveal the profound impact of early experiences on emotional development and behaviour. From the tender moments of infancy, the foundation of attachment is laid, shaping the blueprint for future relationships and self-perception. Trauma, whether overt or subtle, can disrupt this delicate balance, casting shadows that linger into adolescence and beyond. Child and adolescent issues emerge as a reflection of unmet needs and relational ruptures. From anxiety and depression to behavioural challenges and self-esteem issues, each struggle speaks volumes about the depth of emotional wounds and the longing for connection. Therapy offers a sanctuary for healing, providing a space to explore the complexities of attachment dynamics and process the echoes of trauma.
By nurturing secure attachments and fostering resilience, children and adolescents can rewrite their narratives, reclaiming a sense of agency and self-worth. Through supportive interventions and empathetic care, they can navigate the rocky terrain of adolescence with greater confidence and emotional regulation. In this journey of growth and discovery, the bonds of attachment become a guiding light, illuminating the path toward healing and wholeness.

Beyond Talk Psychotherapy
Licensed Psychoanalyst, RP, CAT, CCC, ATPQ, ACNN
Child or Adolescent issues can affect a persons development. A CBT approach would help focus on the emotions and thoughts that client is going through. A Narrative approach would help focus on their lived experience. The psychosocial development from birth to adulthood is important. As such. the clients narrative for their lived experience could help understand their behaviour and needs.
