Child Therapy

Sometimes children find it hard to put into words what they are feeling inside. They may act out, shut down, or seem lost in ways that are difficult to understand. Whether your child is experiencing the effects of trauma or attachment injury, neurodiversity, or other challenges, OCATT therapists provide a gentle, supportive space where children are met exactly as they are and help them to feel seen and heard.

Our therapists work with children who are carrying big emotions, processing difficult experiences, or simply struggling to feel settled at home or at school. Through play, movement, and creative expression, we help children feel safe enough to open up and begin to heal in ways that feel natural to them.

How Child Therapy in Ottawa Supports Growth and Connection at Home and Beyond

Healing that happens in the therapy room finds its way into everyday life. Child therapy at OCATT is a relational process that helps children and families build stronger connections. Over time, this relational approach helps children feel more secure, manage big feelings, and connect more easily at home and school.

Change happens at the pace of trust building. As bonds of attachment strengthen, conversations at home feel calmer and hard things start to feel a little easier. Love and trust take time to build, so we work closely with parents and children as partners in growth, healing, and connection.

FAQs

Child therapy in Ottawa at OCATT supports children dealing with anxiety, trauma, emotional regulation, attachment difficulties, neurodiversity, grief, low self-esteem, or difficulty coping at home and school.

If your child is withdrawing, struggling emotionally, or finding it hard to connect with others, therapy can help build trust and connection, helping children to thrive in a supportive family environment.

Sessions are designed around your child’s comfort. Depending on what works best for them, a session may involve play, art, movement, or gentle conversation. There is no pressure. We create a safe space where your child feels at ease and open to connection.

It is our goal to work together as a team to support you in understanding your child’s emotional world and provide practical tools to use at home because when parents feel supported, children thrive.

Every child is different. Some feel more settled within a few sessions, while others benefit from longer support. We talk openly with you about timelines and expectations from your very first session.
