Kids ReconnectReconnect
Welcome to Calgary’s spark-tacular child counselling 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 counsellors 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 whimsical land at Kids Reconnect, where we specialize in helping kids grow and thrive
Our team of child therapists has joined forces to offer Calgary kids and families support in a range of situations, from healthy families looking for a gentle nudge in the right direction, to cases of complex childhood trauma. We collaborate to apply our areas of specialty in a variety of child psychology interventions, strategies, and approaches.
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 Superpower, grow their personal Superhero, and have fun along the way.
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 therapists. Explore a land of imagination, adventure, challenges, and Superpowers. A land where art, stories, and play star the super special Superhero that’s YOU.
