Hi I’m Fal Desai and I help children and families who are facing challenging life experiences and/or having difficulty adjusting to a significant change. I provide a safe, engaging and accepting space for children and families to explore their thoughts and feelings and improve coping skills.
I am a Registered Social Worker with the Ontario College of Social Workers and Social Service Workers (OCSWSSW). I specialize in working with children, adolescents and families. I have a Master of Social Work degree along with extensive training in Play Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Family Therapy, and Supportive Parenting for Anxious Childhood Emotions.
For over a decade, I have been working with children and families in clinical, community-based, and educational settings. Since many children have difficulty expressing themselves verbally, I provide therapeutic support by combining cognitive and behavioural theories within a play therapy model. I truly believe that children and youth can achieve their full potential through child-centered, collaborative, and engaging support.
I have extensive experience and training that qualify me to work with issues:
Anxiety
Divorce
Grief
Loss
Trauma
Anger
Bullying
Self-esteem
Social Difficulties
ADHD
