We use play therapy and other specialized child counselling techniques to help Calgary kids grow and thrive in fun, gentle, playful ways.
Hi! It’s great to meet you.
We are a team of specialized child psychologists, play therapists, and child counsellors. Collaborating as a team makes us stronger and more adaptable to support the unique needs of each child. Joining forces, we help Calgary children, adolescents, parents, and families to grow, sparkle, and shine their Superhero strengths (their spark-tacular Superpowers!)
