The Ripple Effect
Counselling and Psychotherapy for Children and Youth 

Fostering an environment where we trust children

to guide us toward their fullest potential.

Neuroscience-informed counselling provides children and youth the tools to understand and create the conditions to be their best selves. With Ripple Effect Services, your child can learn how to enhance their feelings of safety and connection in order to navigate life’s choices.

Our Model

Our revolutionary model integrates polyvagal, IFS, and relational approaches. We believe this information forms the basis of essential life skills from which anyone can benefit.

Safe & Sound Protocol

This protocol is a subtle yet powerful intervention to regulate the nervous system. It is administered through 5 hours of listening to music. Delivered remotely to your child’s device, they can access the intervention with the clinical support of one of our Ripple clinicians and/or a parent or guardian.

Ripple Effect Services offers in-person counselling support in the Bloor West area of Toronto, Ontario. We also offer online therapy and counselling across Ontario.
