As a parent, you need to meet and feel comfortable with the person who will be working with your child. Your child’s therapist also needs to understand the important people in your child’s life, so in this session we listen to parents’ perspectives. The perspective of each parent is valuable and must be considered. In this special parents-only session we also plan your child’s first session together, before we introduce your child to their therapist.
Your child’s first session
When you are ready to proceed and feel comfortable, we will invite your child to visit our child counselling office in Calgary.
We design a special adventure experience for your child, based on what they like and need to feel warmly welcomed. For example, the therapist might write a story for your child, or dress up as their favourite character. The therapist will share information with your child about why we are meeting, what a “Feelings Helper” or “Feelings detective” (child therapist, child psychologist, or play therapist) does, and will obtain their assent (permission) to work together.
Our playful approach to child counselling
PLAY is the best (and most fun!) way for child therapists and parents to connect with kids.
We focus on EmPOWERment
At Kids Reconnect we focus on emPOWERment: exploring and developing kids‘ strengths and resilience to overcome the issues that ”bug” kids — and we go about it in fun, playful ways.
Instead of a checklist of troubles, at Kids Reconnect, kids experience child counselling adventures, quests, and cheerful challenges on which to embark. Strengthening our Superpowers can be the most fun part of growing up.
Play x (Growth + Health + Connection) = EmPOWERment
Within a safe, supportive, beautiful EmPOWERland playrooms, our child psychologists and child therapists help kids grow in their emPOWERment to approach, reframe, and navigate through the challenges they currently face, and develop their resilience for future ones. Together, we launch their Superhero journey. Your child’s “spark-tacular” growing adventure awaits!
Let’s spark the joy of play to grow and thrive!
See what specialized child counselling at Kids Reconnect in Calgary would look like remotely for your child..
The most effective counselling comes from supporting not just a child’s needs, but also the needs of their parents and family.
Parents and siblings represent the main relationship in kids’ lives; they need specialized support, too. That is why we offer various types of sessions to support kids, teenagers, parents, and families comprehensively. For example, exhausted parents often come to us with concerns about not getting enough sleep, and we offer pediatric sleep support that helps everyone in the family get the sleep they need.
Child, adolescent, and parenting sessions are 50 minutes in duration. Other types of sessions (family, couples) are usually 90 minutes.
Joining forces, we’re in your corner
Our specialized child psychologists, play therapists, and Registered Social Workers work collaboratively to adapt to the unique needs of each child, teen, and family setting.
Being a team gives us flexibility and bench strength in a range of services and strategies, combining various therapists and child counselling services.
Parents who need additional support in their relationship can access specialized couples counselling through our Couples Reconnect branch.
