Parenting shouldn't feel like survival.
If you're raising a child or teen with trauma, anxiety, big emotions, or complex needs, you may feel like you've tried everything.
You love your child deeply.
But overtime you have become exhausted. You're second-guessing every decision. Home feels unpredictable. And somewhere along the way, you've started losing yourself.
You don't have to figure it out alone.
I'm Renae Regehr, a Registered Clinical Counsellor who specializes in complex trauma, child and adolescent development, and helping parents and children move from surviving to thriving.
Whether we're working together through counselling, consultation, or education, my goal is to help you understand what's happening beneath the behaviour so you can respond with greater confidence, connection, and hope.
Our brains and nervous systems are remarkably adaptable. Healing is possible. Relationships can be repaired. Change happens when we understand both the science of the brain and the power of human connection.
“You can’t go back and change the beginning, but you can start where you are and change the ending.”
