Common Concerns We Support in Children & Teens
Parenting often feels like detective work. A child’s worries, outbursts, or struggles at school are never random — they’re clues. At Creative Sky Psychology, our Calgary child psychologists specialize in helping families make sense of those signals. We turn behaviours into understanding, and understanding into a plan for growth.
Anxiety in Children and Teens
Worries can show up as tears at bedtime, stomachaches before school, or fears that don’t make sense to anyone else. Left unchecked, anxiety can take over friendships, learning, and joy.
How we help: Our child psychologists in Calgary use play, CBT, mindfulness, and gentle exposure to help kids face fears step by step. Learn more about anxiety therapy for children →
Depression & Low Mood
If your child has lost their spark, avoids activities they once loved, or seems weighed down by sadness, depression may be the cause.
How we help: We create safe, hopeful spaces to talk, play, and rebuild confidence. See depression support for children and teens →
ADHD & Executive Functioning
If every morning feels like a battle — forgotten homework, lost shoes, meltdowns over routines — ADHD or executive functioning challenges may be at play.
How we help: We combine play-based strategies, skill coaching, and parent support to build focus, organization, and calm. Explore ADHD & executive function support →
Emotional Regulation & Big Feelings
Tantrums, outbursts, or emotional shutdowns often signal a child overwhelmed by feelings too big to manage.
How we help: Through play, art, CBT, and parent coaching, we give kids the tools to calm their storms — and parents the tools to respond with confidence. Learn about emotion regulation therapy →
Autism & Social Differences
Some kids thrive in their own unique rhythm but struggle with social cues, flexibility, or sensory overload.
How we help: We offer neurodiversity-affirming therapy — play, narrative, art, and social skills support — that honors your child’s strengths while building comfort with challenges. Discover autism therapy →
OCD & Repetitive Behaviours
When worries turn into rituals — handwashing, checking, or repeating things “just right” — OCD can begin to rule a child’s day.
How we help: Our Calgary psychologists use child-friendly CBT and ERP strategies, alongside creative therapies, to help kids take back control. Read more about OCD therapy →
Making friends, keeping them, or navigating conflict can feel like a mountain for some kids.
How we help: We use role play, modeling, and creative strategies to help kids build confidence and connection. See our social skills support →
Social Skills & Friendship Challenges
Growth, Resiliency & Beyond
Sometimes families come to us not with a “problem” but a hope: to help a child build resilience, adapt to change, or thrive in new environments.
How we help: We provide coaching, play-based sessions, and therapy focused on growth. Read about growth & resiliency therapy →
Eating & Sensory Challenges
From picky eating and food fears to sensory sensitivities that make daily life overwhelming, these challenges affect both kids and families.
How we help: We offer supportive, gentle therapy that addresses the emotional side of eating and sensory struggles. View eating disorder therapy → | Explore sensory processing support →
