Sabrina Ragan
Psychologist, CCC., CPT, R.Psych
Growing up can be hard—for kids and for parents. Whether your child is struggling with big emotions, behavior challenges, peer relationships, school stress, or identity concerns, I offer a safe and supportive space to help them work through what they’re facing. Through developmentally appropriate play and talk-based therapy, I help children and teens build emotional awareness, regulation skills, and healthy coping strategies. I also guide parents in understanding their child’s needs, responding with connection, and creating a home environment that fosters growth and resilience. Every child deserves to feel seen, heard, and supported—and I’m here to help your family get there.

Psychologist, RPsych
Watching your child or teenager struggle with big emotions, school pressure, behavioral shifts, or low self-esteem is one of the hardest parts of parenting. When stress takes over, home life can quickly feel like a cycle of conflict, worry, or withdrawal.
You don't have to figure it out alone, and your child doesn't have to navigate these growing pains without support. We recognize that kids and teens process their world differently than adults. Our therapists meet young people right where they are, using creative, evidence-based approaches—like play-based therapy, expressive arts, Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT), and family-centered care—to help them make sense of what they're feeling.
Together, we help children and teens:
- Build Emotional Literacy: Learn to identify and express complex feelings in healthy ways, moving away from meltdowns, outbursts, or shutting down.
- Strengthen Resilience & Coping Skills: Master practical tools to handle anxiety, bounce back from setbacks, and navigate school and social pressure with confidence.
- Foster Genuine Self-Esteem: Develop a grounded, positive sense of self, build healthy friendships, and stand strong against peer pressure or bullying.
- Support the Entire Family: Partner with parents and caregivers to improve communication at home, providing you with actionable strategies to support your child with clarity and ease.
You can help your child move from feeling overwhelmed to feeling confident and resilient. Let’s partner together to bring peace back to your home and give your young person the foundation they need to thrive.
