Assertiveness Training for Children & Youth
Virtual or in-person sessions to build confidence, communication skills, and self-expression.
Confidence Starts with Communication
Helping Children Speak Up with Clarity & Respect
Our psychotherapists work with children to improve communication skills, self-confidence, and the ability to express themselves effectively. We help children develop a belief in their ability to express themselves confidently and respectfully. Children learn to challenge beliefs that hinder assertiveness, such as fear of rejection or conflict. Through role-playing, social skills training, and positive reinforcement, they learn to assert their needs and boundaries while respecting others and to develop a mindset of self-assertion which recognizes their right to voice their needs and opinions.

Our dedicated psychotherapists and holistic practitioners are passionate about supporting individuals in attaining a more balanced and fulfilling life. Our therapists can provide service in-person or online and offer individual or couples, groups and workshops.
