Psychoeducational Assessment
A Psychoeducational Assessment is a detailed assessment of a child/teen/adult's psychological and academic skills. These assessments are typically completed when students are feeling overly challenged in an academic area.
Family Law Services
Sand Story Psychology Services specializes in offering a wide range of support for families going through separation and divorce. We offer services from initial support and talking to your children about separation and divorce, to full bi-lateral parental assessments in high conflict divorce. All our services are offered with a focus on parent-child attachment and healing for families.
Counselling
We offer counselling across the developmental span for children, adolescents, adults, and families. We utilize evidence-based approaches, such as CBT, narrative, & play, to support a wide range of challenges, including: parent consultation; divorce; behaviour challenges; anxiety; depression; trauma; eating disorders; and support for veterans.
Infant Mental Health
Infant Mental Health is a highly specialized area of therapy which provides support for parents for a variety of concerns that they may have for their infant ages 0-5 years. This unique, evidence-based intervention utilizes the parent as the key facilitator of change for their infant utilizing videos of parent-child interactions. It deepens parent-child relationships and strengthens confidence.
Play Therapy
Play therapy provides the opportunity for children to work through challenges and negative experiences utilizing their natural language of learning—play. This approach naturally follows the child’s developmental age and stage. The professionals at Sand Story are then able to harness the child’s natural developmental trajectory to tailor the therapy to each child’s needs.
Children
Children are each unique in their personalities, their way of expressing themselves and their view of the world. The child-focused and specially trained team at Sand Story pride ourselves on meeting each child at their level.
Teenagers
At times, parents may find that their adolescent is experiencing roadblocks in one or more of the following areas: depression, anxiety, mood-swings, past trauma, behaviour problems, parent-teen conflict and major life changes (e.g., death of a loved one or divorce).
Adults
Support for adults is provided from a belief in the importance of relationship and the natural healing potential that we all have within us. A variety of evidence based therapeutic modalities are offered for a wide variety of presenting concerns.
Couples
Couples often find themselves stuck in patterns which leave may partners feeling deeply misunderstood, leading to feelings of anger, loneliness, and rejection.
