Parenting Support, Child/Youth & Family Therapy

You don’t have to do it alone…Parenting Support (some call it parent coaching or parenting therapy), Child/Youth & Family Therapy, practitioner consultation, supervision and Workshops by a Registered Social Worker with over 15 years experience in child, youth, and family mental health. Services are offered virtually, in office (West Toronto), schools, family homes, and the community. Not sure what your family needs? We’re here to help you figure that out, just tap the button below and send a quick note sharing a bit about your family to get started.

Parenting is hard, and with so much information out there it’s hard to know which direction is best for your family. WellNest believes each child, parent and family is unique and therefore needs personalized support.
