Meet Shelby

Shelby McLaughlin, MC, RP-Q

As a dedicated child and adolescent therapist, I am passionate about creating a safe and supportive space for young minds to flourish. With specialties in ADHD, managing big emotions, and coping with anxiety, my therapeutic approach is informed by years of experience and a deep understanding of these unique challenges. I've dedicated my practice to helping children and adolescents build resilience, develop coping skills, and foster a sense of emotional well-being.

Approach

Expertise

Expertise

My approach is centred in the belief that kids do well when they can (or have the skills to!). Through this lens, I prioritize building the skills my clients need to be successful at life while maintaining a trusting and safe therapeutic relationship. I use a mix of evidence-based therapeutic interventions including those based in cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), emotion-focused therapy (EFT), and client-centred (i.e., play therapy, art therapy, etc.) approaches and work collaboratively with clients and their families.


I also believe that the influence of a loving and healthy relationship between caregivers and their child cannot be overstated. I use Emotion-Focused Family Therapy techniques in my practice to strengthen the parental bonds and support systems in my clients' lives.

Experience

I have over 15 years experience working with children and youth. 7 of those years were spent working with students with emotional and/or behavioural struggles in schools. Most recently, along with my private practice, I am part of a mental health team in a school board assisting students and staff to make schools a mentally health place.
