Therapy We provide empirically supported intervention for children, adolescents, young adults, and parents experiencing challenges in the following areas: Anxiety, including separation anxiety, selective mutism, phobias, social anxiety, generalized anxiety, panic disorder, perfectionism, school-related anxiety, sleep, and more OCD Hair-pulling, skin-picking, and other body-focused repetitive behaviours (BFRB) School and relationship difficulties (e.g., school attendance, IEPs, friendships, bullying) Parenting skills More One of our foremost priorities is to help young people improve their relationships with their thoughts and feelings to guide their actions toward living a healthy and fulfilling life. Our approach is engaging, straightforward, practical, and effective, and we intend to give our clients lifelong tools to use whenever needed. Based on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) techniques, among other strategies, we use graded exposure to help youth manage anxiety and OCD along with exposure and response prevention (ERP). We also use Dialectical Behavioural Therapy (DBT) to help individuals manage intense emotions that can result in impulsive and problematic behaviours. We provide a parent-based treatment program for children and adolescents with anxiety, OCD, and related problems called SPACE (Supportive Parenting for Anxious Childhood Emotions) . SPACE focuses on changes parents can make to their own behaviour rather than making their children change. In addition, we assist schools in developing Individual Education Plans (IEPs) and interventions to best support students experiencing a range of school difficulties.
