Child Therapists in Calgary, AB
I am passionate about working with children, parents, and families and have many years of experience with play-based therapy, which is children's natural way of communicating.
Children experience the world differently. Adults can talk; children prefer to play. Play therapy allows freedom and growth. The play experience takes children's focus off negative self-talk and promotes positive self-awareness. Play therapy helps to explore emotions, work through challenges, and nurtures mastery and resilience. As a Registered Play Therapist with advanced training in play therapy, I can help you find a way to connect with your child. A fully equipped playroom with special toys allows children to fully express their feelings, and supports their growth and changes.

I have worked for several years in educational settings and in private practice with children, teens and adults.
I enjoy working with children, teens and adults. I have experience working with relational issues, parenting, stress, school problems, workplace stress, self-esteem, separation and divorce, grief, life transitions, ADHD, anxiety and depression. My clients and I work together to find creative and practical ideas to help them to reach their therapeutic and personal goals. I typically write down ideas and suggestions that relate to a session, and send them home with each client so that they can continue to focus on their goals and practice concrete strategies.

Along with helping clients with issues such as stress, anxiety, depression, substance use, and other mental health challenges, much of our therapy work falls into 1 of 5 areas: • Child, Adolescent, Teen, and Parenting Support • Adult Issues & Mental Health • Relationship Health • Career transition and work-related counselling • Separation and Divorce.
Let's face it, life can feel unbearable at times and relationships are emotionally stirring. If this is your first time working with a psychologist or not, this is likely not a high moment for you if you're reading this. Rarely do clients start a session with, "I feel really good. My life is great! Things couldn't be better!" The reality is you're struggling, in pain, things are not going well for you or someone you care about, and we have entered the picture somewhere along the way. That you trust us or anyone else enough to connect with you in that struggle is tough to do, and a responsibility we do not take lightly.

Adolescents and children actually look forward to therapy with Nicole in the SMART room and do not miss their devices.
In SMART therapy clients are directed to REGULATE through MOVEMENT and as a result START TALKING so problem solving and healing can happen. Therapy is provided in a specially designed room with specialized equipment, such as arial swings, spinning, weighted blankets, balance beams, fitness balls, person sized pea-pod, body socks, dolphin pillows, and safe cubby holes, and tents. Movement, rest and safety is used to support natural ways of regulating bodies and emotions, facilitate parent- child attachment-building and allow for embodied processing of hurtful and traumatic experiences. It is not at all like traditional play therapy.

It can feel very isolating and hopeless dealing with your child's struggles.
Mental, emotional, social and behavioural disorders in childhood/adolescence can cause long-term problems that may affect the health and well-being of young people and families. Treating mental health problems as soon as possible can help children reduce problems at home, in school and in forming friendships. "When it comes to your kids, you are aiming a lot higher than mere survival…your ultimate goal is to raise kids in a way that lets them thrive. You want them to enjoy meaningful relationships, be caring and compassionate, do well in school, work hard and be responsible, and to feel good about who they are." - Daniel J.

Professional and effective in treatment of the Child and Family problems.
As a registered psychologist, I have extensive training in treatment of family/ children's mental or emotional health issues with a focus on the brain neurology. My work has been really effective in the field of child's Neurodevelopmental disorders such as ADHD, ASD, OCD, learning disorders, as well as developmental trauma and process addiction. I am genuinely sensitive to cultural/individual differences, therefore, I integrate a variety of techniques to help each individual to discover their internal healing elements that have been underestimated for different reasons.

I work with children ages 5 - 9 to cope with big feelings using a 5 session approach with follow up sessions as required; tweens 10 - 13 looking at areas of anxiety, self-esteem, self-worth, or anger; and teens 14-19 in all areas.
I work with young people who struggle with anxiety, self-worth, self-confidence, self-expression, and coping skills. My sessions are not the traditional 50-minute in-office talk therapy. Sessions are up to 1.5 hours, using relational therapeutic experiences (art, play, experiential, and talk too), based on the interests of the young person. I work with young people in experiencing the tools that will help them to resolve their concerns, giving them the opportunity to practice in their life-space. Appointments are available for evenings and weekends. I prefer to come to you for young children as they are more comfortable at home.
