Olga Lacroix
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, RSW, PCC
Parenting can be deeply rewarding and equally overwhelming, especially for those who hold high standards for themselves. I work with parents who feel stretched, reactive, or unsure how to balance their own needs with those of their children. Therapy supports emotional regulation, boundary-setting, and self-awareness—helping parents show up with greater calm, confidence, and presence.

Barbara Freedman
Counsellor/Therapist, M.Ed., OAMHP(Ontario Association of Mental Health Professionals)
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.

Whether facing issues with communication or managing a child’s emotional or behavioural difficulties, parenting therapy offers guidance and strategies tailored to a family's unique needs. As a therapist, my role is to help parents develop effective, compassionate approaches to parenting while fostering healthy relationships within the family.

Whether you're managing meltdowns, advocating in schools, or just trying to connect more deeply, I’m here to support both you and your child.

Laura Farberman
Registered Social Worker, RSW, MSW
Parenting Support is support where and when you need it. Change with our children begins with us as parents. A big part of parenting is tolerating and sitting with a child when they are having big, overwhelming feelings. If you didn't get this when you were young, a big part of Re-parenting yourself is tolerating and staying with yourself while you are having big, overwhelming feelings. Support is based on positive, respectful, compassionate, gentle and connection based parenting techniques that are effective and meaningful. It begins with building a relationship to get to know your families history, strengths, and challenges to bring about change through empowerment and self awareness. Practical, attainable strategies will start to be discussed from your first session.

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.
