Nature has a way of meeting kids exactly where they are. 🌿

When children are given the freedom to explore, climb, dig, create, and follow their own curiosity, they’re building so much more than memories.

Time in nature can support:

🎢 Emotional regulation through movement and sensory experiences

😎 Confidence by taking on manageable risks and solving problems independently

🧑‍🤝‍🧑 Social connection through shared adventures and cooperative play

👌 Motor skills, coordination, and body awareness in a naturally motivating environment

🎨 Creativity, flexibility, and resilience through child-led exploration!

For many neurodivergent kids, nature provides an environment with fewer expectations and more opportunities to engage in ways that feel authentic to them. That’s why Nature OT is at the heart of what we do at Larchwood.

🍂 Our Nature OT Groups return this October! Register today on our website (link in bio) and come experience the benefits of nature-based OT alongside us this fall 💚

Hi I’m Kez 👋🏼

About me:
I just completed the five year psychotherapy training program at the Gestalt Institute of Toronto, and will graduate at the end of this year.

I work with adults (18+) and am usually at the clinic on Tuesday, Thursday and Fridays.

My approach to therapy is relational, direct, creative and kind.
I enjoy supporting my clients to integrate conflicting feelings, and find harmony in the chaos.

Working with me:

I work in the Gestalt modality, which in short, means our work will be relational and focused on building self awareness, from moment to moment.We may explore thoughts, feelings, sensations and behaviours patterns using creative frameworks such as images, art, or embodiment.

My work is informed by my degree in gender and sexuality studies, and 5 year training at the Gestalt Institute of Toronto.

I have a special interest in working with clients who identify as trans, q***r or questioning, and am also interested in supporting issues related to burnout, estrangement, grief and loss, relationship dynamics, life transitions, anxiety and depression.

Let’s meet!

I offer complimentary 15 minute consultations via phone to explore the possibility of working together, and find out if we are a good fit. I offer in person and virtual sessions. Please note, as a student therapist, my services are not covered by insurance.

I look forward to connecting with you!

Meet Alex!

A message from Alex:

As a Registered Social Worker and Child & Youth Care Practitioner, I support children, teens, young adults, and parents who are navigating emotional, behavioural, and mental health challenges. I provide a warm, supportive, and non-judgmental space where young people can feel understood, build coping skills, and develop confidence in themselves.

Therapy with me is collaborative, approachable, and tailored to your child or teen’s individual needs. I use evidence-based approaches including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), strengths-based therapy, emotional regulation strategies, solution-focused therapy, and mindfulness-based techniques to help children and teens better understand their emotions.
