Birgit Schreiber Dr
Psychologist, PhD and MA in Psychology
If left untreated, issues from and in childhood and adolescence can stay with us into adulthood, often we need to re-visit these and see how we can work with them to resolve them. This is also for parents and siblings of the 'child' or 'adolescent' who is showing the behaviours difficulties but might well be part of a more challenging system, often a family system.

I work with children and adolescents to help them navigate the unique challenges of growing up. Whether it’s managing school stress, family dynamics, or emotional struggles, I use a combination of Behavioural therapies, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Play Therapy, and Family Systems Therapy to create a safe space for expression and growth. My approach is compassionate, engaging, and tailored to their developmental needs, helping them build resilience, emotional regulation, and positive coping strategies.

Julie Taylor Counselling
Counsellor/Therapist, MTC, RCS
I particularly understand what it is to be a parent: I have 4 sons, now grown and 8 grandchildren. I have also learned a lot through my clients and from professional development courses. Parents must address all of their children's' needs, in addition to their own and teach their children to address every single one of those needs when they become adults. Growing up is not easy and adolescence can be a particularly tough time. Please reach out and let your community help.

Kirsty Matthews

The formative years of a person's life are critical to ensuring sound mental health in adulthood. I provide a compassionate, non-judgemental space for clients, and their families to freely express themselves and to explore their issues openly. Together we can learn how to confront challenges, heal trauma and develop self-compassion to enhance your life and move closer toward your goals.

Halifax is Atlantic Canada's largest city and a hub for universities, the military, and ocean-tech industries, creating a therapy community serving students, naval personnel, and knowledge workers navigating the pressures of high-achieving careers in a smaller city. Dalhousie University and Canadian Forces Base Halifax generate distinct demand for therapists who specialize in academic stress, military trauma, and the particular challenges of military family life. Nova Scotia Health provides public mental health services, with a private therapy community serving the South End, Bedford, and Dartmouth. Halifax's relatively small size means specialist therapist availability can be limited in some areas, and telehealth has become especially important for accessing care across Atlantic Canada.
