Sarah Boo - Registered Psychotherapist

Supporting children as young as 6 years to adulthood.

My name is Sarah and I am a Registered Psychotherapist and a Certified Music Therapist. For over 5 years I’ve had the privilege to walk alongside people’s lives, explore and process challenging emotions together, and provide support through life’s storms. 

Many people seek my services for individual counselling on issues such as depression and anxiety, parental separation, family changes, anger and aggression, and Neuro-Divergence (ADHD, ASD, learning disabilities). My approach focuses on being person/child centered, strengths based, and meeting you at where you are at. I may often draw from modalities such as Cognitive Behaviour Therapy, Music Therapy, Play, Art, and Sand Tray. 

I also have an extensive background in music, a Masters in Music Therapy and having played the flute for 2 decades, we can incorporate music into our sessions to provide further opportunities for self-expression – if this interests you. 

“Where words fail, music speaks.” – Hans Christian Andersen

My personal journey of being in therapy over the years, immigrating to Canada at the age of 8 from Seoul, having to adapt to a new culture and language, and growing up in a large family has shaped me to become the therapist I am today.
 

On my off time I enjoy reading and playing music. I firmly believe that I am a lifelong learner and am continuing to engage in training such as:

· CBT Level I: Fundamentals of Cognitive Behaviour Therapy

· CBT Level II: Cognitive Behaviour Therapy for Anxiety Disorders and Depression

· Non-directive Play Therapy interventions

· Creative interventions for children with ADHD

· Sensory processing training

· SafeTALK training in suicide alertness
