Child or Adolescent Issues
Shasha Weir
Counsellor/Therapist, RSSW
Developmental stages can be challenging for both the young person and their caregivers. During this time, young people are navigating significant physical, emotional, and social changes while also trying to establish their own identities and find their place in the world.
I aim to create a warm, compassionate, and non-judgmental space where young people feel heard and understood. By empowering young people to build resilience, develop self-esteem, and cultivate healthy relationships, I believe that we can help them to overcome challenges and reach their full potential.

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!

Melanie Wuytenburg
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, MSW, RSW
I enjoy working with children and youth to help them unfold the complexities of the world around them.
My child-centred framework utilizes creative activities to establish healthy ways of coping that allows your child to understand their emotions, thoughts and the the world around them.
Over the course of my career, I have worked with children and youth experiencing various issues including: anxiety, depression, self-esteem, grief, anger management, trauma, transitions from birth home to foster/adoptive or kin home, self-injury behaviours, substance and alcohol abuse, difficulty with school transitions, caregivers separating or divorced, exposure to intimate partner violence, and navigating challenges at school.
