Psychologist, PhD, C.Psych.
Our team has developed particular expertise in assisting parents who are dealing with Child and Adolescent development and parenting Issues. We understand that parenting, while rewarding, can often present a multitude of challenges, and these challenges can intensify during a child's adolescence. These issues can affect all aspects of your family life, leading to stress, frustration, and sometimes feelings of helplessness.
We provide specialized support for parents of children and teenagers, aged 6-16, navigating various issues such as behavioral problems, academic difficulties, peer relationship issues, emotional regulation challenges, and more. Our services play a pivotal role in improving parent-child relationships and fostering a healthier, happier family dynamic.
Our approach to these issues involves offering practical strategies and evidence-based interventions tailored to your family's unique needs. This includes parent coaching, family therapy, and cognitive-behavioral techniques. We aim to equip you with the tools you need to navigate difficult situations, improve communication with your child, and foster positive behavioral changes.
We also recognize the importance of providing a supportive environment for parents. Our services extend to providing resources, support groups, and education to help parents navigate the complexities of raising children and adolescents.
Our aim is to help you and your child navigate these critical years, fostering a deeper understanding, improved communication, and stronger bonds. We believe that every family deserves to thrive, and we're committed to helping you overcome parenting challenges and enhancing your family's wellbeing.
We look forward to the opportunity to work with you and your child. Remember, you're not alone in this journey; we're here to guide you every step of the way.

I enjoy working with children and youth to help them unfold the complexities of the world around them.
My child-centred framework utilizes creative activities to establish healthy ways of coping that allows your child to understand their emotions, thoughts and the the world around them.
Over the course of my career, I have worked with children and youth experiencing various issues including: anxiety, depression, self-esteem, grief, anger management, trauma, transitions from birth home to foster/adoptive or kin home, self-injury behaviours, substance and alcohol abuse, difficulty with school transitions, caregivers separating or divorced, exposure to intimate partner violence, and navigating challenges at school.

Registered Psychotherapist, M.A., Registered Psychotherapist
It is very common for adolescents to experience mental health problems leading into adulthood.
Though it is not often clear that there are mental health issues happening, adolescents with low motivation, poor grades, ADHD, parent-child conflicts, who are engaging in drug use and abuse, with video game addiction, or hostility may be struggling.
It is important in these situations to consider the idea that adolescent therapy might be helpful.

Lia Khalili
Registered Psychotherapist, Registered Psychotherapist (RP)
At Bright Start Bright Future, I specialize in providing therapy services for children and adolescents, supporting them through the unique challenges they face during their formative years. With over fifteen years of experience in child and youth psychotherapy, I'm dedicated to helping young individuals overcome obstacles and build the skills they need for a brighter future.
Child Therapy / Counselling for Children:
Every child is unique, and their strengths and needs are different. With my extensive experience in child psychotherapy, I can accompany you to understand your child and enter his/her world. By appreciating the impact of experiences in children’s early years, I help children overcome challenges and develop new skills to be equipped for making a brighter future. Play-based methods readily put children at ease, resulting in greater cooperation, which supports them in meeting treatment goals. I have the skills to assess your child from different perspectives to better determine how best to support them.
Youth Therapy:
In youth therapy sessions, I work collaboratively with teenagers to address a wide range of issues, including depression, anxiety, family conflict, social isolation, trauma, and more. My approach is tailored to meet the specific needs and goals of each individual, empowering them to take control of their lives and navigate challenges with confidence.
My goal is to create a safe and supportive environment where young individuals can explore their thoughts and emotions, develop healthy coping mechanisms, and build strong, positive relationships.
Whether your child is struggling with academic stress, peer pressure, family conflict, or mental health issues, I'm here to provide the support and guidance they need to thrive. Contact me today to learn more about how I can help your child or teenager navigate the challenges of growing up with confidence and resilience.
