Calm Guidance Counselling offers both individual and group therapy support for children, teens and adults. We have specialized Social Workers and Psychotherapists who offer evidence based, confidential support in a compassionate and non-judgemental way. We know that everyone struggles at times in their lives, and we strive to work with clients in a realistic way to help them to work towards their goals and learn strategies to help them navigate through challenging times.
At Calm Guidance, we specialize in working with children and teens who are experiencing challenges related to a neurodivergent or mental health diagnosis, and work to help families navigate relationship challenges and learn to help support their loved one in an intentional way.
As parents ourselves, we know that raising kids can be overwhelming at times, and we strive to support parents on their journey to raising great kids.
We also offer group skill building/ social groups for children and teens with a neurodivergent and/or mental heath diagnosis or challenges consistent with a diagnosis (executive functioning challenges, focus concerns etc.). These groups have proven to be an effective way of learning many of the skills that are normally learned in a more traditional Counselling setting.
