Parenting is hard.
You don't have to navigate it alone.
Does it feel like you’re walking on eggshells at home? Maybe you’re worried about your child’s anxiety, struggling with a new ADHD diagnosis, or feeling like communication has completely broken down. At Strong River Counselling, we provide a safe, non-judgmental space for your family to heal. We help you decode your child’s behaviour and build a toolkit for a more peaceful home life.
Our Services
We offer a range of counselling services specialized for children and families. We provide support and guidance to help families navigate challenges and strengthen relationships.
Specialized Support for Every Family
While our core services include Child Therapy and Family Support, we specialize in helping families navigate the most common (and most difficult) challenges:
Build "brave muscles" for easier school drop-offs and calmer nights with attachment-based play therapy
for Coquitlam children.
Provide a secure landing for children navigating the "new normal" of divorce or family shifts with specialized transitional support.
Replace the cycle of outbursts with neuro-affirming co-regulation tools that move your family from survival mode back into connection.
Distinguish between needs and ritualized behaviours with expert clinical care for children struggling with intrusive thoughts.
Stop the power struggles by using clinical strategies that honor your child’s unique brain and nervous system over traditional compliance.
Heal relationship ruptures and reduce chronic conflict using EFFT strategies that empower you as the primary agent of healing.
Meet Destinee Kreil, RCC
As a Registered Clinical Counsellor and the Clinical Director of Strong River Counselling, I specialize in attachment-based care and trauma-informed support. Based in the heart of Coquitlam, our clinic is dedicated to the unique needs of Tri-Cities families. We believe in the power of play, the importance of regulation, and the resilience of the family bond.
Much like a river flows with fortitude, the bond of family can be equally resilient, providing nurturing support as we navigate the twists and turns of life.
