Children/Youth Therapy
Children/Youth Therapy provides a safe, nurturing environment where children can express and process their emotions and experiences. We use age-appropriate techniques to address emotional, behavioural, or developmental challenges.

Family involvement often complements therapy to support the child’s progress and overall well-being.

The goal is to strengthen relationships and help your family grow closer, even during difficult times.

Nature Walk Therapy
At Branches of Life Therapy, we offer Nature Walk Sessions as a unique and restorative alternative to traditional in-office therapy. These sessions combine the therapeutic benefits of walking outdoors with supportive, confidential conversations guided by a registered therapist.
Nature Walk Sessions are ideal for individuals who feel more at ease outside, enjoy movement, or are looking for a more grounded and holistic approach to mental health. Being in nature can reduce stress, elevate mood, and help clients feel more open and connected, to themselves and their surroundings.
Pricing: $160 per session.

SERVICES
For Your First Appointment
The first appointment in therapy is an important step where we get to know each other and begin to understand your reasons for seeking therapy. This session is designed to create a safe and welcoming space for you to share what brought you here, whether it’s specific challenges, feelings, or situations that you want support with.
During this meeting, we can discuss why you came to therapy including your concerns, difficulties, or areas of your life you want to explore or improve. We can discuss your expectations and what you hope to gain from therapy, how the process works, and any questions or doubts you may have. Together we will identify clear, realistic goals for your therapy journey based on your needs and priorities. We can discuss how sessions typically proceed, confidentiality, your role in the process, and what you can expect from me as your therapist.

CHILDREN/YOUTH THERAPY
The first appointment in children’s therapy usually involves meeting with the child and, often, their parents or caregivers. This session focuses on understanding what brought the child to therapy, such as emotional or behavioural concerns, difficulties at school, or family changes.
We’ll discuss what therapy might look like for your child, explaining the process in a way that feels comfortable and supportive. Parents and caregivers will have the chance to share their observations and hopes, while the child will be encouraged to express themselves in ways that feel natural.
Together, we’ll set goals tailored to the child’s needs, aiming to help them develop coping skills, improve emotional regulation, and build resilience. The first session is about ensuring everyone feels comfortable and understood as we begin this journey.
