Child and Youth Counselling
For children, counselling offers a chance to work through feelings in a natural, engaging way. Madison uses Therapeutic Play to create a comfortable environment where kids and youth can express themselves using toys, art, and games. This approach is especially helpful for clients dealing with anxiety, depression, self-esteem, peer challenges or adjusting to changes.
Therapeutic Play
Using play as a tool for communication, Therapeutic Play gives children a chance to express feelings they may not have words for. Madison’s approach involves art, games, and other creative materials. Madison works with children ages 4+. This method is especially helpful for addressing anxiety, self-esteem, trauma, and emotional regulation in younger clients.
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR)
EMDR is a powerful technique used to lessen the emotional impact of traumatic memories. Madison will guide you in focusing on a difficult memory while using specific eye movements to help your brain process it in a new way. This therapy can be helpful for individuals of all ages dealing with trauma, anxiety or lingering stress.
Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART)
ART is designed to help clients move past difficult experiences more quickly by combining imagery and eye movement.
