Jessica Foran, MSW, RSW

$0.00

Therapist specializing in children (4-16)  and play therapy

"Your child doesn't have to struggle alone, and neither do you."

Your child is struggling, and it breaks your heart. The big emotions, the behavioral challenges, the anxiety that seems to come out of nowhere, you want to help, but you don't know how.

Children experience the world differently than adults, and sometimes they don't have the words to express what's wrong. Whether your child is dealing with anxiety, having trouble at school, adjusting to family changes, or feeling overwhelmed, they shouldn't have to navigate this alone. And neither should you.

Jessica specializes in helping children ages 4-12 through mental health challenges, behavioral difficulties, developmental disabilities, trauma, grief, and relationship concerns. With training in Child and Youth Work, psychology, and social work, plus expertise in play therapy, CBT, and solution-focused therapy, she speaks your child's language.

Jessica's approach is strengths-based, collaborative, and adapted to each child's unique needs. She creates a safe, inclusive environment where children feel heard, validated, and free to express themselves. Her family-centered approach means she works alongside you, equipping you with knowledge and tools to support your child's progress.

Your child arrives at therapy with existing strengths and resources. Jessica draws upon these while developing new ways of navigating challenges, always working collaboratively with your family.

Ready to help your child feel heard and develop resilience? InnerWorks offers services in person in our Lambeth (London, Ontario) office, and online for clients across Ontario.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

  • Consider therapy if your child is experiencing persistent big emotions, behavioral changes, difficulty at school, trouble with friendships, anxiety that interferes with daily activities, or struggling to cope with a family change. If you're concerned, a consultation can help determine if therapy would be beneficial.

  • Play therapy uses play, a child's natural language, to help them express feelings, process experiences, and develop coping skills. Children often can't articulate complex emotions verbally, but through play, they can show what they're experiencing. It's highly effective because it meets children where they are developmentally.

  • Yes! Jessica uses a family-centered approach. While some sessions will be one-on-one with your child, she'll regularly meet with you to share progress, provide strategies to use at home, and ensure you're equipped to support your child between sessions. Your involvement is crucial to your child's progress.

  • Every child is different. Some children benefit from short-term focused work (8-12 sessions), while others need longer-term support. Jessica will work with you to set goals and regularly reassess progress to ensure therapy remains helpful and appropriate.
