Dr. Anna Polotskaia Clinical & School Psychologist

Empowering Youth

My services are focused on supporting children and adolescents, as well as their families facing overwhelming and intense emotions, extreme fluctuations in mood, difficult transitions and interpersonal conflicts. Cognitive Behaviour Therapy and Acceptance Therapy are known to be effective for treatment of  anxiety, excessive worrying, low mood, impulsivity, anger outbursts and social difficulties.

Parents and caregivers often find it helpful to consult with a psychologist to gain knowledge in child development, to better understand their child’s needs and to explore ways to support their child’s well-being at home and in the community.

Depending on the needs of your family, frequency of the sessions and duration of treatment can vary. Sometimes just a couple of sessions can make a notable difference, providing youth with skills to take a different look at the situation or to apply strategies we explore and practice in sessions.
