Therapy, Counselling and Career Guidance

Avery’s therapeutic counselling team supports children and teens with Adolescent Identity Development, neurodiversities, learning disabilities/differences, mental health disorders and other struggles. By developing strategies around social communication, emotional regulation, self-awareness, self-esteem, and resilience, Lawrence and Carmen help students turn barriers into superpowers.

Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART)

Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART) helps people deal with tough feelings and memories, especially those related to trauma, anxiety, or depression. ART combines regular talk therapy with different methods like guided imagery and quick eye movements. Individuals often process and manage memories and emotions with ART in less time than with other types of therapy.

Career Guidance

We discuss tools and strategies for managing the demands of school life with a neurodivergent brain, and explore career aspirations that align with their strengths and aspirations.

Counselling

These sessions utilize a variety of therapeutic frameworks to help with personal obstacles outside of school, such as identity development and emotional imbalances that interfere with daily routines.

Using a neurodivergent-affirming framework, Play Therapy recognizes and values each child’s unique strengths, needs, and ways of experiencing the world. Avery’s Play Therapy approaches include Neurorelational Child-Centered and Synergetic Play Therapy, creating a safe, accepting, and responsive environment for children.
