Children (6 to 10) Therapists in Hanover, ON

Hello! My name is Shaelyn Busby and I am a fully registered psychotherapist. Are you looking for a therapist to support your child or your family in making changes? Change can be scary, difficult, and intimidating even when we know change is for the better. Family relationships are hard - especially as a child. I strive to meet my clients where they are at and empower them to have the courage to change their lives. In my practice, I use a number of different modalities to best suit the client. Every client is different so I believe every treatment plan should be tailored to the individual.

I am a Registered Social Worker (MSW) with expertise in working with children (6 to 10), preteens (11 to 13), youth (14 to 19), and individuals who are experiencing social, emotional, and/or behavioural challenges. I support clients and their family members in managing challenging emotions and relationships more effectively. My work focuses on providing clients with the skills and tools they need to effectively manage their daily lives and make positive changes.

Navigating relationships is never easy; relationships with your partner, friends, children and yourself can often lead you to question yourself and challenge your confidence and happiness. Working from a strengths-based perspective, I aim to guide a conversation so that you can develop the skills needed to navigate the relationships in your life. I utilize my training in Cognitive Behaviour Therapy, Solutions Focused Therapy and Mindfulness theory to help work through the issues you are facing. I do not see myself as the expert, but one who can ask some questions and work with you to find solutions and relief.

Are you grappling with the weight of your emotions, unsure of how to break free from the patterns that seem to be holding you back? Do you find yourself wrestling with anxiety that tightens its grip on you day by day? Is depression casting a shadow over your life, making even the simplest tasks feel insurmountable? Are you grieving the loss of a loved one and struggling to find solace? Or perhaps you're in the midst of a significant life transition, feeling lost and overwhelmed? As a compassionate and highly skilled therapist, I understand that these challenges can be all-consuming, leaving you feeling isolated and in pain.

I believe we all dream to live lives of more and lives of less. More: happiness, peace, achieving meaningful goals, and joy in relationships. The opposite is also true, we seek lives with less. Less: stress, negative coping, anger, and disconnection. Are you one of millions of new Canadians trapped between 2 worlds? Is it time to create your own life? Do you experience anxiety, depression, or relationship issues that never seem to change; growing up "fine but feeling empty", or loveless parenting, do you want to change how you parent your own child--all of which can hold you back or instill panic. Small steps can feel overwhelming.

I offer a secure, therapeutic relationship in which you can explore and make sense of your experience. For adults struggling with depression, anxiety, relationship difficulties or other conflict in your life, I will help you understand the origins of your difficulties and let go of issues from your past so that you can feel good about yourself now and improve your relationships with others. I also specialize in attachment-based therapy for children birth to six who are adopted, have behaviour problems, social anxiety or other special needs. I support both parent and child to achieve a strong healthy relationship.

Experiencing sadness, worry, or distress? Are past traumas impacting your present? Feeling "different"? Is it hard to navigate the world socially? These are some of the mental health, identity, and social concerns that can impact individuals and their families, impeding wellbeing. I provide psychotherapy and assessments to assist with a range of issues including mood and anxiety disorders, trauma, abuse, attachment concerns, anger, autism spectrum disorder, learning/attention issues, addictions, family functioning problems/transitions (e.g., divorce, adoption) etc. I also have unique training and experience supporting gender/sexual identity-related exploration, coming out, and/or transition/surgery readiness assessments.
