When your child is struggling with worrying thoughts to major panic attacks, and when it’s getting harder for them to manage anxious racing thoughts. Let's work together on implementing supports to help your child thrive at home, school, and elsewhere.
You moved to Canada and continue to find it difficult to adjust to your new life, with a constant juggling of cultural values and beliefs. Sure, getting used to things is alright, but sometimes more guidance is needed. As an immigrant himself Chris understands and can help.
We are ready to help you reach your goals when you feel ready to begin. If you aren’t sure if you are quite “ready” just yet, feel free to reach out for a short phone consultation to ask some questions to help you make the decision that best fits your or your child’s needs.
