At Nova Mental Health Children, Youth, and adults Gain Skills & Strategies to Help Them Lead Fulfilling Lives
At Nova Mental Health our focus is on providing therapy to help children, youth, adults, and their families manage the mental health issues interfering with the quality of their lives.
We provide a warm, collaborative, and engaging atmosphere while incorporating the latest research evidence and best-practice guidelines. We apply techniques and approaches from Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behavioural Therapy (DBT), Narrative Therapy, Emotion Focused Family Therapy (EFFT), and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy. Therapy is individualized to meet each client's unique needs. When working with children, we use playful approaches and age appropriate language to engage children of all ages. We also provide evidence-based parenting based on the Supportive Parenting for Childhood Emotions (SPACE). When using this approach, we provide parents with effective strategies to reduce childhood anxiety and often only work with the parents. This approach can be combined with direct sessions with the child, but can be used alone. This can be especially helpful for situations in which young children are experiencing anxiety (and may not be able to engage in virtual therapy), when parents are being drawn into anxiety related behaviours, or when children or youth refuse to engage in treatment. If you require financial assistance for mental health treatment for your child, please review our financial assistance page. |
