Comprehensive Care for Children and Adolescents

At Emerald Psychology, we provide compassionate and evidence based care for children and adolescents, struggling with a wide range of emotional, behavioural and psychological challenges. Our goal is to provide parents and children with the tools they need to lead confident, functional, and successful lives.

Individual Therapy for Children

Dr. Yosipovich provides personalized child therapy designed to meet your child's needs and strengths. Her primary goal is to ensure your child feels comfortable to talk about anything and everything. Once your child is comfortable, Dr. Yosipovich helps them gain self awareness of their struggles, and works with them to develop strategies that they feel confident in.

Dr. Yosipovich ensures that parents are very involved in the therapeutic process, working to support the child with their skills while also supporting the parents as their child's partner in overcoming their struggles. Dr, Yosipovich employs elements of Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT), Dialectic Behaviour Therapy (DBT), and Emotional Focused Therapy (EFT), and Play Therapy in her work with children.

Individual Therapy for Adolescents

Adolescence can be a time filled with struggles relating to many factors; including hormonal changes, academic expectations, social pressure, and growth.

Dr. Yosipovich provides tailored adolescent therapy to meet the adolescent at their level. She ensures your teenager feels comfortable and supported, validating their concerns and feelings. Her goal is to provide your teenager with the skills they need to manage their challenges independently, and have the self awareness to ask for help when they begin to feel overwhelmed. Dr. Yosipovich works alongside parents while their teen is in therapy; working to promote collaboration and harmony in the parent-child relationship. Dr. Yosipovich employs elements of Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT), Dialectic Behaviour Therapy (DBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Emotional Focused Therapy (EFT) in her work with adolescents.

School Consultation

Given how much time a child spends at school in their formative years, it is essential that they feel supported, confident, and successful within their school environment. Dr. Yosipovich has years of experience working at the Toronto District School Board, specifically having provided consultation to multiple members of students' support teams, including teachers, administration members, and multi-disciplinary support figures.

Whether your child struggles behaviourally in the classroom, has trouble focusing, has challenges in their social relationships, displays school avoidance, or feels anxious throughout the school day, Dr. Yosipovich works alongside the school support team to develop a plan to promote your child's success.

Parent Coaching

As the saying goes, parenting is the hardest job in the world; yet it is one of the few that comes without a training manual. Dr. Yosipovich has years of experience working with parents; helping them develop skills to support their child's struggles, and empowering them to be their child's main source of emotional support and a strong partner in their self regulation.

As a parent, Dr. Yosipovich understands that strategies that may work well for one child may not be working for another. Dr Yosipovich will work with you to find parenting strategies that are realistic, evidence based, and doable, with the main goals being to promote your child's success, and develop a stronger parent-child relationship.
