Children don’t always have the words to explain their pain, but through play therapy, they find a way to heal, grow, and be heard.

AERCS offers a dynamic interpersonal relationship between a child (or person of any age) a therapist and an RECE in the therapeutic space with the aim of helping the child (or person of any age) develop emotional awareness, safety in fully expressing and exploring self (feelings, thoughts, experiences, and behaviors) through play, the child’s natural medium of communication, for optimal growth an development.

Social skills training teaches mindfulness, positive thinking, and emotional reflection to help children build their resilience. AERCs specializes in helping children find their passions, and focus on their strengths to build self-confidence. We ensure that each child’s fundamental needs are being seen-to and they’re being heard and their expectations are being met. We practice self-regulation together; we identify feelings and utilize breathing strategies.

Our centre is designed to feel like home. We provide tools and a safe place to process and understand complex emotions. We’re committed to helping as many children as we can because studies show that seventy percent of mental health problems have their onset during childhood or adolescence. We have a tendency to think our children are doing just fine, even when they may be suffering.

While there’s no perfect way to parent, there are ways AERCS can help mitigate the risk of mental health problems in our children and adolescents. Book an appointment today and we’ll design your child’s play-based therapy session based on their individual needs. When we play together, children are in their most comfortable element, and they feel like they’re safe and can trust us. This gives them the confidence to be vulnerable and express themselves more completely.

Each session will be with a Therapist (MSW, CRPO) and assisted by Registered Early Childhood Educator (RECE) to help your child to feel as safe and comfortable as possible.
