Melissa Haddad, Registered Psychotherapist
Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy Services for Children, Adolescents, Young Adults, and Parents
I provide assessments and psychotherapy treatment for children, adolescents, young adults, and parents with a relational and attachment based focus.
Psychoanalytic child and adolescent therapists provide assessments and psychotherapy for children, adolescents, and families who have challenges in thinking, feeling, or behaviour that interferes with healthy development.
Some of the most common concerns parents and teachers have are disturbances manifested as:
anxiety
behavioural difficulties (aggression, defiance, delinquent behaviour)
depression
eating disorders
learning difficulties
somatic complaints (headaches or stomach aches not caused by illness)
Psychoanalytic child therapists also work with children, adolescents experiencing disorders relating to:
attachment
adoption
bereavement
divorce and custody issues
physical and sexual abuse
