How it works

Child Counselling and Play Therapy in Newmarket for Ages 5 to 12

When a child is struggling, the whole family feels it. Worries, frustration or grief can appear as clinginess, aggression, stomach aches or trouble at school. Our Newmarket child therapists use play therapy and child-friendly activities to help kids understand their feelings and learn healthy ways to cope, while coaching parents with strategies that work at home.

We support families from Newmarket, Aurora, East Gwillimbury, Bradford West Gwillimbury, Georgina and King. No waitlist.

Your roadmap

The Family TLC Method: Your Path to Success

1

Intake Phase

Getting started

The therapist makes sure parents are fully informed about child counselling, what to expect and their involvement in the process, with an opportunity to ask questions and share their insights and concerns.

2

Discovery Phase

Understanding your child

The therapist gets to know your child, understands what they are experiencing and hears the concerns and goals that brought your family to counselling. From that understanding, they develop a Care Plan with clear goals.

3

Working Phase

Working toward your child’s goals

The therapist and your child work directly on the goals in the Care Plan, adapting how they work to your child’s age, development and way of communicating, and adjusting when something is not helping.

4

Check-In Phase

Building on progress

As your child becomes more able to use what they have been working on outside counselling, appointments become less frequent. The therapist keeps checking how things are going and whether anything needs attention.

5

Follow-Up Phase

Staying connected

When regular counselling is no longer needed, active counselling ends. Your child remains connected to Family TLC and can return if counselling is needed again in the future.

A story like yours

How One Newmarket Child Faced Her Worries

This story is about a girl from Newmarket, a composite of many children we see. She worried about everything, from tests to sleepovers, and mornings often ended in tears before school. Her parents felt stuck between pushing her and protecting her.

After a call with our Matching Specialist, she started sessions with a child therapist. Through play and simple exercises, she learned to name her worries and try small brave steps. School mornings still take effort, but she has more tools to get through them.
