Separation and divorce is a life-changing event that can be difficult for everyone. It’s important that parents understand what to expect when seeking support for their child. Learn the myths from the facts and the benefits of therapy with Boreal Therapy Collective.

Boreal Therapy Collective offers therapy for co-parenting during high-conflict separation and divorces. This transition can be tumultuous and seeking support can be one of the best decisions you make. Learn how to establish your communication boundaries, let go of ideals, avoid badmouthing the other parent, learn your own parenting style, and more with Boreal Therapy Collective.

Boreal Therapy Collective offers eight guidelines to consider when looking for a therapist. We suggest considering your personal preferences, the therapist’s approach, training, registration, credentials, whether they have a protected title, and their affiliation with the Health Professions Act, your personal finances, the hours of operation, and goodness of fit.

Boreal Therapy Collective explains how parents can better manage power struggles with their teens. We suggest conveying empathy and support, setting your non-negotiable boundaries, picking your battles wisely, staying respectful and calm, being clear with consequences, and praising and validating your teen. If more support is needed, consider family therapy. If you notice your teen is struggling with their mental health, consider cognitive behavioural therapy.

At Boreal Therapy Collective, we are passionate about delivering mental health care that is socially inclusive. To be more socially inclusive, we recommend using respectful and inclusive language, recognizing your biasses, challenging discrimination when you face it, continuing to educate yourself, honouring your growth process, and being mindful of your privilege.
