Phyllis Wai Ng
Registered Psychotherapist, MA, RP, CCC
Every family deserves to have harmony and respect. When one person is struggling with some issues, it is possible that the whole family suffers as well. Family therapy helps the family address their underlying emotions, ineffective communication patterns and maladaptive behaviors in order to improve their communication skills and resolve their conflicts.

Barbara Freedman
Pre-Licensed Professional, M.Ed., OAMHP(Ontario Association of Mental Health Professionals-2704-G)
As the owner, and director of The Growing Tree Preschool for seven years, I enjoyed being a mentor to parents, who would often seek me out to discuss challenges, pertaining to their children. I have worked together with them to modify their children’s behavior and help their youngsters develop many new values and skills. As part of my work as a counsellor for those who qualified for Victim Services I worked with many children employing such tools as art and play therapy to impart healthy expression as well as emotional intelligence skills. My experience in this area includes delivering workshops for Parents, Educators & Childcare Professionals at the YMYWCA in the Ottawa Region, in addition to the Childcare Information Speakers’ Bureau at Ontario Early Years Centers. My responsibilities as a counsellor for Life Span Services of Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania USA, Adoption and Foster Care included delivering my skills to foster parents. Through teaching for the Ottawa Board of Education, in addition to tutoring, I instructed a variety of children with special needs. This includes those with social, behavioral , as well as a variety of learning challenges. I would be pleased to consult with parents on any topic which interests them from separation anxiety to issues involving ADHD.

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.

Michelle Directo
Registered Psychotherapist, MDiv, RP, ExA
Parenting is one of the hardest jobs in life. There is no manual for how to raise children/teens and we are bound to make mistakes. However, you can learn skills to help you attune to your child's feelings to help them feel safe. Children/teenagers can often feel confused about their emotions, which can lead to unhealthy thoughts and behaviours. Let us work together through play or expressive arts in understanding your child's/teen's needs for love and security.

Marriage and Family Therapist, Marriage, Couples, LMFT. Psy.D. Trauma-Focused CBT
Parents are not always able to guess their children need. A major reason why children and adolescents often experience difficulty with developing individuality in their emotional growth, is the need for self-validation, self-expression and boundaries in discovering the difference in right & wrong.

Sierra Goldfinger
Registered Psychotherapist, RP
Parenting can be one of the toughest and most rewarding experiences. There is so much that can get in the way of parenting in the ways that we hoped for. A busy schedule, finances, burn-out, and so many other factors are just a few obstacles that may get in the way. As a therapist, I am here to work with you to understand and develop the ways in which you wish to parent. I do not impose my own parenting ideas on you, but rather I seek to support you in figuring out who your most authentic and meaningful parent self is. This will allow us to support you in developing your own unique parenting tools and styles best suited for you and your family. Connect with me today for a free consult to see if we are a good fit.

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.
