Child or Adolescent Issues
Caitlin Marchand
Registered Psychotherapist, RP
Childhood and adolescence are times of immense social, biological, and psychological learning and change; which can be difficult for children and youth to navigate at the best of times. Therapy can provide a safe, non-judgmental space to support children, youth, and caregivers, as they explore their thoughts, feelings, and experiences using a mix of creativity, play and experiential activities, as well as talk therapy. Depending on the age of the client, I work collaboratively with children, youth, and their support systems to dig deeper into the your experiences, understanding of the world around you, and preferred ways of being. Book a free consultation to learn more about my approach and explore if we are a good fit.

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!

Child or Adolescent Issues
Sharron Carson
Registered Psychotherapist, RP
Growing up can be challenging and sometimes leave youth feeling confused, frustrated, or misunderstood. I strive to make them feel accepted for who they are and feel heard and validated. Promoting a safe and judgment free environment is a priority and necessary for youth to be able to let their guard down and communicate openly. Together we look at areas of life that are challenging for them and identify the factors that are contributing to the difficulties they are experiencing. We then work on managing those areas more effectively by developing positive coping strategies and emotions management skills. I have a passion working with youth and encourage you to book a free consultation.

Ryta Marie Peschka
Registered Psychotherapist, RP
While I do not work with youth under the age of 16, our clinic has many child and family therapists who are availability to schedule a free consultation. Since children are often impacted by family dynamics, we often find the most effective way to work with children, ages 6-11, is within the context of family therapy.
