Hi. Our 12-year-old son is having some troubling thoughts. We are trying to teach him that thoughts aren't facts. We are wondering if anyone can recommend a good psychologist or therapist to help our son.

Thanks

Gord...

Hi Gord- We dealt with Dr Charles Pierce in Waterloo for a different reason but he was very good. If you have Employee Assistance Program coverage from work you can seek counselling free of charge at Mozaic or other local counselling services if you son is in 'distress' and/or it is causing you (as the employee)  'concern'.

Jan Yordy at the Intergrated Centre for Optimal Learning also has a program where she teaches the "Emotional Freedom Technique". She wrote a book called "Be the Boss of Your Feelings" she is a wonderful lady who sees clients in Waterloo, she is also covered as a therapist. Click here for her website.

Anyone have a therapist who is good with ASD clients?
