"𝐈𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐫𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐩𝐢𝐬𝐭 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐦𝐲 𝐜𝐡𝐢𝐥𝐝?"

If you've been searching for support, you've probably asked yourself that question more than once. 🤍

A good place to start is with credentials. Look for a Registered Clinical Counsellor or Registered Social Worker with appropriate training and experience working with children. Children's needs are different from adults', and specialized training can make a meaningful difference.

It's also important to consider your child's age, personality, and challenges. Younger children often communicate through play, creativity, and behaviour rather than words alone. That's why many child therapists incorporate approaches such as art, play, or other expressive therapies alongside traditional talk therapy.

One of the strongest predictors of a positive counselling experience is the therapeutic relationship. When children feel safe, understood, and comfortable with their therapist, they're often more willing to engage in the process and practice new skills. If your child doesn't seem to connect with a therapist, it's okay to explore other options.

Before booking, don't hesitate to ask questions. What does the first session look like? How are parents involved? What experience does the therapist have working with children facing similar challenges? A good therapist should be able to answer clearly and help you understand what to expect.

Still not sure where to start? You don't have to figure it out alone.

At The Therapy Place, we offer Play Therapy, Art Therapy, and traditional Talk Therapy for children ages 6+. Our team includes clinicians with experience working with children, youth, and families. Our Get Matched form can help connect you with a therapist who may be a good fit for your child's unique needs.

🤍 Because finding the right support shouldn't feel overwhelming.

Reaching out for support isn't always easy, and if you've ever wondered what counselling with us looks like, we'd love to share a little more.

At Therapy Place, we support individuals, couples, children, teens, and families through life's challenges. Our team uses evidence-based approaches to help with anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship concerns, grief, stress, and more.

For some, healing happens through conversation. For others, especially those processing trauma, approaches like EMDR, art therapy, or sand tray therapy can offer a different path forward.

A few things to know:
✅ No doctor's referral required
✅ Direct billing with most major insurance providers
✅ Four convenient locations: Downtown Nanaimo, North Nanaimo, Ladysmith, and Campbell River
✅ Virtual counselling available throughout BC
✅ Low-Cost Counselling Program, because everyone deserves access to support

Since 2017, we've been helping people across Vancouver Island find the support, tools, and guidance they need to move forward with confidence.

Not sure where to start? Complete our Get Matched form, and we'll help connect you with the therapist who's the best fit for your needs.

Anxiety and depression love to tell us stories that aren't true—like "I'm going to fail" or "Nothing will get better." 😩

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) gives you practical tools to break those spirals. Instead of accepting every negative thought as fact, CBT teaches you to pause, challenge the story, and reframe it with grounded, supportive truths. 🌿

Small shifts in your thinking lead to huge changes in how you feel.

Ready to build practical coping tools that work? Get matched with a CBT therapist today at www.therapyplace.ca or call 250-616-3579. 🤍

You don't have to put your hardest moments into words to start healing. 🤍

For many people, especially those dealing with trauma, neurodivergence, or cognitive overwhelm, traditional talk therapy can feel daunting. Non-verbal and somatic approaches like EMDR, art therapy, and play therapy allow your nervous system to process and resolve deep wounds without requiring you to relive them out loud.

If talking through what happened has kept you from seeking support, know that other paths exist. 🌿

Take the first step at your own pace. Reach out at www.therapyplace.ca/contact or call 250-616-3579 to get matched with the right therapist.
