Children & Youth Therapy and Parent Support

About Children & Youth Therapy and Parent Support

When it comes to the challenges and obstacles found in a child’s development journey, a one-size-fits-all approach is the least helpful kind to offer. This is especially true in the diverse and vibrant communities that require personalized and comprehensive services. At Sparkling Seeds, we understand that each child and family brings their own unique set of needs, challenges, and aspirations, which is why we offer children and youth therapy as well as support services to their parents.

Child and Youth Therapy Services

Psychological distress affects a child’s behaviour and relationships with peers, family members, or parents. It will also cause disruption in the classroom, and affect your child’s educational achievements and overall health. Whether your child is experiencing mood and behaviour issues, being socially withdrawn, having changes to their sleep and eating habits, wanting an extra support system and external person to listen, or other issues, your child will benefit from receiving professional therapy services to address the root cause of these issues. At Sparking Seeds, we have a team of experienced therapists specializing in various treatment modalities such as:

  • Art therapy
  • Play therapy
  • Narrative therapy
  • Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT)
  • Trauma-focused CBT
  • Dialectical behavioural therapy (DBT)
  • Emotionally focused therapy (EFT)
  • Acceptance Commitment Therapy (ACT)
  • Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR)

Ways to Support You

It does not matter what race, gender, or upbringing the child or youth has. The sooner therapy for children and youth is provided to them, the sooner they can learn how to best apply real-life skills, healthy coping mechanisms, and the abilities to better live their lives. At Sparkling Seeds, we provide assessments, counselling and treatments to children and teens facing developmental challenges or distress due to immigration/culture shock, family conflicts, bullying, peer pressure, attention disorders, and learning disabilities, etc. Our comprehensive services can help children and teens overcome their mental health challenges, allowing them to prosper and grow in a healthy and supportive environment. Additionally, we provide assistance to support parents navigating through related family difficulties.

Parent Training

A secure parent-child relationship lays the foundation for a child’s emotional well-being, reducing the risk of mental and behavioral issues. Although parenting is one of life’s most rewarding roles, it can also be filled with challenges, stress, and moments of self-doubt. Counselling and parenting groups are available at Sparkling Seeds to help parents navigate these complexities. Our skilled therapists can help parents manage their emotional health, build better parent-child attachment, and foster harmonious family relationships.

Social Skills Training Groups

Social skills groups are designed for children who need more opportunities for social interaction. Through targeted role-playing, interactive games, and group discussions, we help children learn how to build healthy and positive relationships with others. These group sessions not only improve their social skills but also boost their confidence in group settings.
