Ruth-Ellen Baker, Registered Psychotherapist, has graduate and post-graduate training in Family Therapy and Play Therapy and, about ten years ago, shifted from a general practice to a focus on children, youth and their families. She strongly believes that, wherever possible, caregivers need to be consistently involved in their child's therapy, in order to make long-term change possible outside of sessions. She is also committed to strengthening attachments in family relationships, as another important factor in creating positive change.
