Meet Ranece

 

Ranece Gordon is a Registered Social Worker with over 6 years experience providing support to children and families in home and school-based settings.

Most recently, Ranece has worked supporting children with Autism and their families in meeting social, behavioural, emotion regulation and academic goals, while attending closely to their mental health needs.

While working in behaviour therapy, Ranece recognized the link between parent-child interactions and child accomplishment and now focuses more on family relationships and encourages parents to be involved in making changes to support their children’s progress.

Ranece creates a fun, collaborative environment where transparency, trust and confidence are fostered to improve family relationships through a flexible therapeutic model.

Ranece is interested in supporting clients to manage behavioural, emotional and social issues, having difficulty coping with a new (disability) diagnosis, navigating familial and close relationships and looking to establish better communication.

The first step is a phone call with our Client Care Coordinator Anne-Marie to ensure that we get you set up with right support for your family’s unique needs.
