My Child is Struggling, and I Feel Helpless
You’ve tried everything you can think of — extra patience, new routines, talking it through, maybe even consequences — but nothing seems to make a lasting difference. Maybe your child is acting out, shutting down, or overwhelmed by big emotions they can’t explain. Or maybe it just feels like something is “off,” and you can’t quite reach them the way you used to.
It’s heartbreaking to watch your child in pain and not know how to help. You might be questioning your parenting, feeling burnt out, or wondering if this is just a phase — or something more.
At Foothills Integrative, we understand that every child is unique — and so are the challenges they face. Whether your child is struggling with anxiety, behaviour concerns, or big life changes, we’re here to help them feel safe, heard, and supported.
How Child Therapy Can Help
Child therapy offers a safe, welcoming space where your child can explore their thoughts, emotions, and experiences at their own pace.
We support children dealing with:
- Anxiety, fears, and worries
- Anger and emotional regulation
- Behavioural challenges
- Attention and focus difficulties
- Family changes (divorce, separation, relocation)
- Grief or trauma
- School and peer-related stress
Through evidence-based and developmentally appropriate approaches, therapy helps children better understand themselves, build emotional resilience, and improve their relationships with family and peers.
Our Approach to Working with Children
We use a gentle, relationship-based approach rooted in empathy, play, and connection. Our child therapists are trained in a variety of modalities.
Because children express themselves differently than adults, we meet them on their level — often through play, storytelling, creative activities, and emotional exploration. We also involve parents and caregivers in the process, ensuring that healing extends beyond the therapy room and into everyday life.
