Child Therapy

Art therapy can be a powerful tool for treating children experiencing difficult life experiences or emotions that are too complex to express in words alone. Let our experts support your children no matter what they’re facing.

Livewise children learn how to think in symbols and images before they can express themselves verbally. This is why art therapy can be such a powerful tool for treating children experiencing difficult life experiences or emotions that are too complex to express in words alone.

Raising children is also more stressful than it once was. Parents today have so many more pressures put upon them. You may understandably feel unsure when it comes to your child’s mental health.

Some of the struggles our parents report include:
  • Feeling overwhelmed by their child’s difficulties
  • Uncertainty about how to help them
  • Triggering of their own childhood traumas
  • Feeling impatient or frustrated at the situation
  • Overall parental stress and fatigue

That's why we're here. We work with children who are struggling, as well as their parents and families. Our goal is to help you and your child experience more peace, joy, and positivity.

Would you like to learn more about how we can help? Get in touch today and we’ll get back to you within 24 hours. We’ll get your child booked quickly and offer flexible appointment times, with no waiting list.

What We Treat

  • Sadness and depression
  • Overwhelming emotions
  • High anxiety or worry
  • Past trauma or abuse
  • Social struggles
  • Transitioning through parental divorce or other changes
  • Behavioural issues or defiance

Our specialists can offer guidance as your child learns to heal or cope. Schedule a consultation to learn more.

Art Therapy Option

We also offer art therapy, an approach that uses creativity to help your child learn how to express themselves, while healing from issues like trauma and depression. Children naturally learn and grow through play, and this is a fun and effective way that takes advantage of that trait.

Art therapy, combined with traditional counselling techniques, can help your child learn to:

  • Express themselves in a healthier way
  • Communicate needs and ideas more clearly
  • Interact with others in a more positive way
  • Calm and soothe emotions and outbursts
  • Build lifelong skills to manage stress

You can schedule your art therapy appointment right away.

A Safe Environment

Our specialists offer your child a safe and neutral relationship. Through an accepting and secure environment, children can better understand their feelings and the overwhelming experiences of the world.

Children who participate in sessions with our coaches often experience the following benefits:

  • Increased self-confidence
  • Healing from the effects of trauma
  • More effective communication
  • New ways to cope with emotions
  • Improved social skills
  • Relief from depression
  • Lower anxiety

Regardless of what your child sees us for, our mission is to help them feel calmer, happier, and more confident in the world.
