Virtual Kids Therapy

Engaging, Effective Therapy for Kids — From Anywhere in Ontario

Why Virtual Therapy Works

Engaging therapy for kids online

Kids shouldn’t miss out on quality therapy because of distance, scheduling, or accessibility. Our Virtual Kids Therapy Program is designed to make care easy, effective, and kid-friendly, no matter where you live.

Led by Maddie Chenier, MSW, RSW—our Kids & Virtual Therapy Program Lead—we combine creativity, play, and evidence-based approaches to make virtual therapy truly work for children.

Virtual therapy isn’t just talking on a screen. When therapy is playful and interactive, it can be just as effective as in-person care.

We use:

Hands-on activities

Digital EMDR tools

Storytelling, art, and movement

Play-based strategies

Simple home objects to keep sessions engaging

Kids stay involved, curious, and supported throughout.

What Makes Our Program Different

Specialized Leadership

Maddie leads the program with a passion for innovation, designing sessions that feel fun, safe, and responsive. As an EMDR therapist and mother of two, she understands how to connect with kids and keep therapy meaningful online.

Created for How Kids Learn

Sessions include art, drawing, movement, expressive activities, and digital tools that help kids process emotions in ways that feel natural—not forced.

Flexible, Adaptive Sessions

We adjust activities in real time to match a child’s attention, energy, and needs that day.

Parent Involvement

For younger children, parents can join sessions to:

Support comfort and engagement

Assist with hands-on activities

Learn tools to use at home

Older kids may include parents only for brief check-ins or collaboratively planning.

Sometimes Talking is Not Enough

We provide therapy that heals the root cause of your distress, offering more than just temporary relief. Our commitment is to long-term, sustainable change, and we will never push you in a direction you do not want to go. We recognize that your system responds the way it does for important reasons, and by working with it, true and harmonious change is possible. We believe therapy is about more than managing day-to-day stress. It is about reconnecting you with yourself and the world around you. While learning coping skills is valuable, our priority is lasting transformation through addressing the root causes of your pain. If you are feeling stuck, we are here to help.
