Rubina Gogna
Registered Psychotherapist, B.A., M.A., Registered Psychotherapist
I have worked extensively with kids from age 12-18 helping them with peer relations, maintaining relationships with friends and family, lack of motivation, poor routine, poor sleep, low self-esteem, overthinking patterns, anxiety, depression, panic attacks, constant fear or worries and many more. If you or your child is struggling with these issues look no further as I can help and with great success.
Alicia Panchal
Registered Social Worker, MSW, RSW
Being a young person in today's world is extremely stressful. Children and teens are often going through similar problems that we are as adults (think: shifts in mood, peer pressure, worries of judgement, life transitions, changing hormones and bodies, world events, etc), but with less tools and knowledge on how to cope. Engaging in therapy is a great way for your loved one to gain a better understanding of what they're experiencing, have a safe space to explore all the confusing feelings, and learn longterm, adaptive skills to manage current and future challenges.

I help children and adolescents struggling with emotional dysregulation and behavioural issues. Using Dialectical Behavioural Therapy, we work towards building emotional regulation and distress tolerance skills. I emphasize a collaborative treatment approach focusing on the establishment of individual and/or family goals. Whether you are coming for family therapy, or your child is attending individually, familial support is crucial for children’s health and wellbeing.

Bridges Clinical Hypnotherapy Services
Hypnotherapist
Children and young people today face many challenges such as: bullying; dealing with the "new normal" of COVID-19 restrictions; academic performance and personal success expectations; peer pressure, fears and trauma; the expectation that being happy is something that should just come automatically; adjusting to natural hierarchies that no longer exist;
personal and oral hygiene; underdeveloped emotional skills; and the unhealthy use of technology and influences of social media. Hypnosis can provide a safe and effective solution to all of these challenges.

Emaan Singh
Registered Social Worker, MSW, RSW
During one-on-one sessions, I incorporate fun and interactive ways to connect with children and guide them in understanding their feelings, emotions, and behaviours. Sessions are designed to support their emotional and psychological well-being during this crucial stage of development. My role is to help them build coping strategies, emotional regulation skills, problem-solving techniques, and healthy communication patterns. I strive to ensure that families leave our sessions feeling supported, cared for, and equipped with effective resources that can be implemented into their daily lives, helping them reach their full potential.

Magdalena Karakehayova
Registered Psychotherapist, RP
Children can often exhibit externalizing or internalizing behaviors when they are unable to express themselves or process/cope with their feelings and emotions. Therapy can be a safe space for children to make sense of their feelings through creative and engaging means. Depending on age, working with young children can entail working with parents on how to best support their child in what they are going through and to give parents a space to reflect on the kind of parent they want to be while expressing concerns or personal challenges they may be experiencing.

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.
