Maybe you want to turn a hobby into something more. Or maybe you have a creative project to share with the world. Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. Don’t worry about sounding professional. Sound like you. There are over 1.5 billion websites out there, but your story is what’s going to separate this one from the rest.

Issues become less overwhelming when children are included in the process of finding proactive solutions. Your child is invited to paint, draw, sculpt, create a story, act it out, bang on a drum, or choose toys or puppets that can depict their situation or emotions. Externalizing the problem through the expressive arts can convey powerful feelings - sometimes better than words - and enables a safe process of playful exploration. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60a12f1e7377244618e36fa6/14a862c5-8064-467d-88a7-8e6f2c2f6356/IMG_0366.jpg Home - Families Through collaborative forms of art and play, families are encouraged to find creative solutions to family problems. Whether it is working through grief and loss, illness, developing healthier ways of communicating or trying to tame reactive behaviour dragons, Creative Therapy Montréal can help you connect, laugh, and work towards a common goal. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60a12f1e7377244618e36fa6/1621217710260-HI4MCFGZMEH1J4E8BI5O/Buddha%2Bw%2Bcell.jpg Home Parent Coaching We could all use some guidance on keeping calm while juggling a million other responsibilities. Creative Therapy Montréal helps you identify your own triggers so that when emotions run hot, you can keep your cool. Whether you are dealing with your child’s behavioural problems, anxiety, sleep or eating issues, or wanting to create a united front with your partner or other caregivers in your child’s life, Kalie can help you learn strategies to work toward a more peaceful home environment. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60a12f1e7377244618e36fa6/675a19c9-9cbb-4109-8f6a-ffa2985b0453/Office+Large.jpg Home - Adults How do the stories you tell about your life shape your identity or influence how you interact with the world? The stories we have been told about ourselves or the beliefs we hold shape our inner narrative. The significance we give to that narrative influences how we receive, perceive, and achieve. Through recounting your stories or unearthing those untold, you are invited to creatively explore whatever problem brings you to therapy. Individual counselling for adults of all ages for issues ranging from job-related problems and burn-out, anxiety, depression, relationship and family troubles, life transitions, illness-related challenges as well as working through past trauma, grief and loss are discussed in a safe environment. Creative arts modalities can be incorporated to externalize the problem when a bit of distance may be helpful. You are also welcome to invite others into the sessions if you need the support or want to address a relational situation or problem. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60a12f1e7377244618e36fa6/fda53748-2808-449d-9045-f691cf172717/2A+splat4.jpg Home - School Workshops Creative Therapy Montréal designs classroom interventions and workshops to address student needs. Developing empathy, emotional literacy and teaching children how to evaluate the size of the problem so it matches the size of their reaction are just a few of the workshops that can be offered at your school. Launch a school-wide kindness campaign or schedule a workshop on nurturing healthy relationships. Anti-bullying presentations have shown students how to talk the talk, but when it comes to everyday interactions, how can we raise their awareness to walk the walk? Investing in social-emotional learning now will positively impact all aspects of a child’s life for years to come. Fostering resilience, self-esteem, a sense of belonging and self-worth can make a world of difference at home and at school. Kalie also facilitates presentations and workshops for teachers and parents; Understanding Behavioural Issues, Collaborative Problem-Solving and The Importance of Play, are just a few. Hour-long group wellness sessions for staff are also available in-person or virtually. Contact Kalie for more details. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60a12f1e7377244618e36fa6/1621202981131-CW3QA8KZYOL1OBXNMRGJ/Puppet+intervention+copy.jpg Home Therapeutic Groups Creative Therapy Montréal offers small groups that address common childhood issues. From developing social skills to managing anxiety, children are encouraged to connect through collaborative art and therapeutic play. Groups can be offered in schools or at the Westmount location. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60a12f1e7377244618e36fa6/83787976-bbb5-45ae-af16-4bd70303363b/Impact+of+my+words.jpg Home - Consultations SCHOOLS Schools may reach out to us for consultations regarding classroom management or student concerns. Classroom or student observations (with parental consent) may be conducted in order to be provided with concrete strategies for classroom behaviour management strategies or workshops designed to meet the social-emotional and developmental needs of your students. PARENTS Parents may contact us to book a session to discuss concerns. We may then schedule an observation of the child in different settings (school, extra-curricular activity, summer camp, etc.) in order to provide a social functioning evaluation with recommendations. https://www.creativetherapymontreal.com/parenting-guidance daily 0.75 2021-05-16 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1589847904871-IJY33BXSJQA0OIFROI1H/image-asset.jpeg Parenting Guidance - Parenting Guidance Maybe you want to launch a business.
