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.
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).
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.
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.
Adoption Assessment
In international adoptions, many countries require a psychological assessment as part of the process to ensure that children are going to healthy and well-adjusted homes.
Autism Assessment
An autism assessment provides the psychological component of a multidisciplinary assessment to determine whether a child meets the diagnostic criteria for an Autism Spectrum Disorder.
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 Assessments
When a family is going through separation or divorce, many parents have a difficult time agreeing on how to manage parenting time. A Section 211 Assessment or a Views of the Child Report can help inform families to resolve disputes.
