Monika Georgieva
Registered Psychotherapist, RP
Parenting brings both joy and hardship. Parents face many expectations and are required to balance a multitude of demands. Therapy can provide a supportive space in which you can slow down amidst all that you are navigating and develop greater awareness of your needs and the needs of your child(ren) and family. Therapy can also be an opportunity to generate possible solutions to ongoing and emergent challenges within your parenting journey. As a therapist, my aim is to work with you in a way that respects your parenting values and upholds the best interests of your and your child(ren)’s well-being. Contact me or book a free consultation if you wish to learn more.

Sarah Glinski
Registered Psychotherapist, RP (Qualifying)
Raising a child may be one of the most rewarding experiences one can have but it is also one of the most challenging and confusing. It is normal for parents to disagree (with their children and their co-parent), to feel overwhelmed, to feel shame or regret, to have anxiety or to just be at a loss. Seeking professional counselling to help you through parenting challenges can alleviate stress, bring clarity to the “big picture”, and secure you with the tools to communicate more effectively, build respectful, healthy family dynamics, and understand your children better. I provide free consultation phone calls to determine whether I am the right fit to help you through these challenges.

North Star Therapy-- Cleo Haber
Registered Social Worker, BSW, MSW, RSW
Relationships with family members can be particularly complex. With family, we often fall into old roles that may no longer serve us. You may be grieving the loss of a relationship you wished you had with a family member, or struggling with conflict and hurt feelings that keep getting re-triggered in each encounter. You may be facing challenges with parenting or trying to figure out the best ways to support your children. Relationship counselling can help you sort through the complexities of family dynamics, understand old roles and how you get pulled into them while working towards setting healthy boundaries in order to create more harmonious family dynamics.

It takes a Village to Raise a Child: Parent Coaching at MindFit
“The thing about parenting rules is there aren’t any.” That’s what makes it so difficult.” – Ewan McGregor
From emotion regulation challenges to ADHD to social media use, there are no shortage of parenting challenges. MindFit Parent Coaching aims to help make your job a little easier.
Workouts (sessions) are designed to improve children’s emotional, cognitive, behavioural and health-related outcomes by fostering parenting skills and improving the quality of parent-child relationships.
Techniques:
Collaborative Problem Solving
• Developed by Dr. Ross Greene at Harvard Medical School, CPS is an extremely effective technique for helping youth learn lagging skills in the areas of flexibility, frustration tolerance, and adaptability.
• CPS is based on the premise that children do well if they can (not if they want to) and your explanation of why a child is behaving poorly guides the intervention. More specifically, CPS sees challenging behaviours as resulting from skill deficits and not motivation deficits.
• Consequently, the goal is to help parents learn to solve common problems/challenges (e.g., screen time, homework, routine difficulties) with their youth collaboratively and proactive, while teaching youth new skills along the way.
Emotion Coaching/Emotion-Focused Parenting
• Parents and caregivers learn to recognize and attend to their and their child’s emotions and use emotions as moments for teaching. Parents are also taught to listen with empathy, validate their child’s feelings, and meet their child’s needs (e.g., offering a hug if a child is sad).. When a child calms down, parents learn to help their child label their feelings with words and then discuss practical coping strategies to deal with triggers and improve self-regulation skills
Positive Parenting Interventions/Strength-Based Parenting
• Strength-based parenting helps parents to acknowledge and encourage a child’s unique abilities, talents, and skills (i.e., strengths).
• Practical advice and interventions (e.g., ways to identify parent strengths and children’s strengths, how to have conversations for connection) is provided to help set children up for success, maximize potential, and nurture and foster children’s talents and strengths.
At MindFit, we only provide programs and workouts that are backed by science and based on real data. You can expect to work with skilled clinicians who aim to create a safe, non-judgemental, de-stigmatizing, compassionate and welcoming environment. Sessions are aimed to at being short term and time limited, handouts and resources are provided to help you implement your new toolbox of strategies and skills, and questionnaires/check-ins are used to measure/track change.
