Child-Centred Psychology in Calgary
A Different Kind of Children's Psychology Practice.
Creative Sky Psychology is a Calgary child psychology clinic for children, teens, and families. Our child psychologists bring advanced training in child therapy for anxiety, ADHD, autism, trauma, EMDR, and neurodiversity—matched with a warmth that helps kids actually open up.
We believe every child has the capacity to rise above their challenges. We're here to help them find their wings—and help families soar alongside them.
The Process
Four Simple Steps to Getting Started.
There's nothing complicated about it, and nothing you have to figure out on your own. Here's exactly how it works, from your first message to your first session.
Reach Out
Book online or send us a message and tell us a little about your child. No detail is too small, and there's no obligation to go further.
We Match You
We pair your child with the Calgary psychologist whose expertise and style fit best — because the right match makes all the difference.
Your First Session
A relaxed, no-pressure conversation to understand your child and what you're hoping for. Nothing is decided or committed to on the spot.
Ongoing Support
Together we shape a plan that fits your child and your family, and begin — at a pace that feels right for everyone involved.

Our Therapy Approaches
Evidence-Based Therapy Approaches at Creative Sky
Our child psychologists draw from a range of evidence-based therapy approaches, tailoring treatment to your child's strengths, goals, developmental stage, and unique way of experiencing the world.
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)
Helps children see how thoughts, feelings, and behaviours connect, then build practical coping strategies they can use to manage worry, stress, and hard moments.
Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT)
Builds core skills in emotion regulation, distress tolerance, mindfulness, and relationships, helping children and teens stay grounded when feelings run high.
Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT)
Encourages psychological flexibility, helping children make room for hard emotions while taking small, values-guided steps toward what matters most to them.
Exposure & Response Prevention (ERP)
The gold-standard treatment for OCD and many anxiety disorders, gradually and collaboratively helping children face fears and ease out of anxious cycles.
Eye Movement Desensitization & Reprocessing (EMDR)
Helps children and teens gently process distressing memories and reduce the emotional charge of trauma, so painful experiences feel less overwhelming over time.
Parent-Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT)
Real-time coaching for parents that strengthens the parent-child bond and builds practical tools to manage challenging behaviour in young children with warmth.
Play Therapy
Uses play as a child's natural language, giving them a safe way to express feelings, process experiences, and build coping and problem-solving skills.
Art Therapy
Gives children a creative, non-verbal way to explore emotions, tell their story, and make sense of difficult experiences when words feel hard to find.
Narrative Therapy
Helps children separate themselves from their problems, notice their strengths, and author new stories about who they are that reflect resilience and hope.
Emotion Coaching
Teaches children practical ways to notice and name emotions, calm their bodies, and respond to big feelings, building lasting regulation skills and confidence.
