Peaceful Kids has started at OLA!
The 'Peaceful Kids' program is a Mindfulness and Positive Psychology based program to lessen anxiety and stress and increase resilience in children. This program helps children to build their emotional resilience so they are better equipped to deal with the day to day stresses that life brings them. Teachers identify students who would benefit from this program and we then work with parents to ensure consistent home practices.

AP is a newly established private practice, that aims to improve the quality of life for individuals and families. Even though our psychologists have years of experience, as we are a new practice, we have immediate availability for referrals for therapy and assessments, available both face-to-face and via Telehealth.
AP provides assessments for Specific Learning Disorder (such as Dyslexia, Dysgraphia, and Dyscalculia), Autism, and ADHD for clients of all ages. We offer therapeutic services for a range of mental health conditions commonly present in children, adolescents, and adults, such as emotional dysregulation, anxiety, depression, stress, sleep issues, inattentiveness, and challenging behaviour. We work closely with individuals as well as the whole family to develop healthy and sustainable long-term coping mechanisms in order for them to thrive in all areas of their lives.
