For School Aged Children

We support school-aged children with big feelings, behaviour changes, anxiety, or challenges at school, and we typically work closely with the whole family. This allows us to strengthen patterns of connection, communication, and co-regulation, rather than placing the “problem” on the child alone.

Get Started

For Adolescents

With adolescents, we offer a space that balances age-appropriate privacy with caregiver involvement, so teens can talk openly while still feeling supported by their families. We focus on identity, relationships, stress, and mental health concerns, collaborating with caregivers in ways that respect the teen’s growing independence.

Get Started

For Families of all ages

We also work with families of all ages, including parents and adult children who want to repair or deepen their relationship. Whether you are navigating long-standing patterns, estrangement, or life transitions, we help you build new ways of relating that are safer, more honest, and more connected.

Get Started

Thoughtful, Compassionate Support When You Need It Most

We welcome and affirm families of all configurations, including solo parents, blended families, queer and trans families, multi-generational households, and chosen families. Our focus is on the relationships that matter to you, and we work to create a space where every caregiver, youth, and family member feels respected, included, and reflected in the therapy room.

TESTIMONIALS

What Our Clients Say

“Emily Bushell has a very distinct and innate gift for helping others on their healing journey. After many, many years of therapy, conventional and nonconventional, I have yet to find a therapist as gentle, accepting, loving, compassionate and professional toward her clients as Emily is. She is deeply committed to and skilled in EMDR and her sessions have helped me immensely. Not only is she a great guide, who's helped me explore some of the most painful and terrifying parts of my life, she's empowered me to let my own body and intuition guide me in our EMDR sessions, which has been both healing and liberating. She is a gift to this world and I highly recommend her to anyone seeking support on their healing journey. " AB
