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 spark kids’ joy of play 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

EmPOWERland is a group of specialized child psychologists serving kids, youth, and families in Calgary, Alberta.

At KidsReConnect, we understand that each child is unique, and so are their challenges. Whether you’re looking for guidance with everyday struggles or need support for more complex concerns like anxiety, autism, ADD/ADHD, depression, OCD, learning disabilities, social skills development, we are here to help.

Our team of experienced child psychologists works with families in Calgary, offering evidence-based, personalized therapy plans tailored to your child’s individual needs. We use a variety of child-focused approaches, including play therapy, cognitive-behavioural therapy (CBT), and family systems therapy, to ensure that your child feels supported and empowered every step of the way. Let’s spark the joy of play in your Superhero child to help them grow and thrive.

EmPOWERland is a land of discovery, fun, and adventure.

Your child’s counselling adventure begins in EmPOWERland

In the imaginary realm of EmPOWERland, you might see unicorns, flying puppies, dragons, balloons, cupcakes, and maybe a rocket or two at the gate. (Hang on — did you spot that little blue mouse right here at the bottom of this page?) It’s a special place for a rainbow lion, a zebra, a lovely llama, and 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 therapists from the KR team with whom to play and all your successes celebrate.

Come visit EmPOWERland and meet the KR team of child psychologists and social workers. Explore a land of imagination, adventure, challenges, and Superpowers. A land where art, stories, and play star the super special Superhero that’s YOU.
