Kids ReconnectReconnect
Welcome to Calgary’s spark-tacular child psychology clinic for Superhero kids and families!
We believe that every child is a Superhero. Every child has a special Superpower and stars in their own Superhero story. Kids don’t have to wait until they grow up to become Superheroes.
Our child psychologists and child counsellors specialize in using a myriad of play therapy techniques to help Calgary kids grow and thrive as unique, emPOWERed, joyful Superheroes.
We use play therapy because play is how kids communicate — an ideal way to connect with kids at their (fun and amazing!) level. Play therapy is much more than ordinary play; it is a structured, systematic, evidence-based, specialized therapeutic approach. Play therapy shows our child therapists where your child is in their development. Using play therapy, we can track play themes to discover how your child views themselves, others, and their place in the world. We use insights gleaned through play therapy to connect with your unique Superhero child, emPOWER them to overcome challenges, grow their Superpowers, and thrive.
Your child’s Superhero story begins at EmPOWERland

At Kids Reconnect, we understand that each child is unique, and so are their challenges. Whether you’re looking for child psychology support with everyday struggles, emotional and relational skills development, or need support for complex concerns (like anxiety, autism, ADD/ADHD, depression, OCD, learning disabilities, trauma) we are here to help.
Our team of experienced child psychologists and child counsellors work with kids, teens, parents, and families in Calgary, offering evidence-based, personalized child and adolescent therapy plans tailored to each kid’s needs. We use a variety of specialized child-focused approaches, including play therapy, sand tray therapy, narrative therapy, art therapy, cognitive-behavioural therapy (CBT), and family systems therapy, to ensure that your child feels supported and empowered every step of the way.
Instead of a list of problems, issues, and mental health diagnoses,
at Kids Reconnect we focus on developing your child’s strengths to overcome and soar through adversity.
Let’s spark the joy of play in your Superhero child to help them grow and thrive.
In EmPOWERland, kids' imagination sparkles!sparkles!
EmPOWERland is a land of discovery, fun, and adventure.
A land of emPOWERment, play, creativity, and possibilities, where kids at all stages of development explore their own Superpowers, grow their personal Superhero skills, overcome challenges through child counselling adventures, and have fun along the way.
Your child’s counselling adventure begins in EmPOWERland
In the imaginary realm of EmPOWERland at Kids Reconnect, you might see unicorns, flying puppies, dragons, balloons, cupcakes, and maybe a rocket or two at the gate. (Hang on — did you spot a playful blue mouse right here at the bottom of this page?) It’s a special place for kids, where you might meet a rainbow lion, a zebra, a lovely llama, or a giraffe that can make you laugh. They hang out with rollicking rabbits, mischievous monkeys, mini mermaids, and a tiger who can skate, enjoying snacks, stories, and art, plus child psychologists, play therapists, and child counsellors with whom to play and all your successes celebrate.
Come visit EmPOWERland and meet our team of specialized child psychologists and Registered Social Workers who specialize in working with kids. Explore a land of imagination, adventure, challenges, and Superpowers. A land where art, stories, and play star the super special Superhero star that is YOU.
