Childhood is often a time of playing, exploring, and learning about the world in a carefree and safe manner. However, if a child experiences events that psychologically affect them adversely, they may struggle to understand and cope positively. A child struggling with behavioral issues, developmental setbacks, or other psychological concerns can lead to distress, fatigue, and hopelessness for parents. Children and youth require various supports to positively cope with and overcome adverse life experiences.

The cognitive, emotional, social, relational, interpersonal, and behavioral impacts of such experiences can significantly influence a child's ability to overcome them healthily. At Shelly Quatieri & Associates, our excellent child psychologists in Calgary offer specialized child therapy and counseling to help children navigate these challenges.
