Child or Adolescent Issues
Miranda Arellano
Registered Psychotherapist, B.A. (Psych), MC, RP
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy can be effective for children and youth who have experienced trauma or distressing events. This evidence-based approach is adapted to suit the developmental needs of young individuals, making it a valuable tool for addressing issues such as post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), anxiety, and emotional difficulties in this age group.
In EMDR therapy for children and youth, therapists use age-appropriate techniques to help them process traumatic memories or challenging experiences. This can include storytelling, drawing, or using toys and games to make the process more engaging and understandable for young minds. EMDR can help children and adolescents reduce the emotional intensity and distress associated with traumatic events, ultimately promoting emotional healing and improved mental well-being. It is important for parents or caregivers to seek guidance from a trained and experienced EMDR therapist who specializes in working with children and youth to ensure the best outcomes for their young ones.

Alicia Panchal
Registered Social Worker, MSW, RSW
Being a young person in today's world is extremely stressful. Children and teens are often going through similar problems that we are as adults (think: shifts in mood, peer pressure, worries of judgement, life transitions, changing hormones and bodies, world events, etc), but with less tools and knowledge on how to cope. Engaging in therapy is a great way for your loved one to gain a better understanding of what they're experiencing, have a safe space to explore all the confusing feelings, and learn longterm, adaptive skills to manage current and future challenges.
