Birgit Schreiber Dr
Psychologist, PhD and MA in Psychology
If left untreated, issues from and in childhood and adolescence can stay with us into adulthood, often we need to re-visit these and see how we can work with them to resolve them. This is also for parents and siblings of the 'child' or 'adolescent' who is showing the behaviours difficulties but might well be part of a more challenging system, often a family system.

Watching your child or teenager struggle with big emotions, school pressure, behavioral shifts, or low self-esteem is one of the hardest parts of parenting. When stress takes over, home life can quickly feel like a cycle of conflict, worry, or withdrawal.
You don't have to figure it out alone, and your child doesn't have to navigate these growing pains without support. We recognize that kids and teens process their world differently than adults. Our therapists meet young people right where they are, using creative, evidence-based approaches—like play-based therapy, expressive arts, Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT), and family-centered care—to help them make sense of what they're feeling.
Together, we help children and teens:
- Build Emotional Literacy: Learn to identify and express complex feelings in healthy ways, moving away from meltdowns, outbursts, or shutting down.
- Strengthen Resilience & Coping Skills: Master practical tools to handle anxiety, bounce back from setbacks, and navigate school and social pressure with confidence.
- Foster Genuine Self-Esteem: Develop a grounded, positive sense of self, build healthy friendships, and stand strong against peer pressure or bullying.
- Support the Entire Family: Partner with parents and caregivers to improve communication at home, providing you with actionable strategies to support your child with clarity and ease.
You can help your child move from feeling overwhelmed to feeling confident and resilient. Let’s partner together to bring peace back to your home and give your young person the foundation they need to thrive.

Samira Gholami
Counsellor/Therapist, Registered Therapeutic Counsellor
Being a teenager today comes with unique pressures. Between academic expectations, friendships, social media, family relationships, and figuring out who you are, adolescence can sometimes feel overwhelming. You may struggle with anxiety, low self-esteem, emotional ups and downs, peer pressure, or feeling misunderstood by the adults around you. As a parent, you might notice your teenager withdrawing, becoming increasingly frustrated, or having difficulty expressing what they're experiencing.
As a Registered Therapeutic Counsellor (RTC), I offer compassionate, affordable counselling specifically for adolescents and teens navigating the emotional, social, and developmental challenges of growing up. My experience in educational settings, community mental health, and youth support has given me an appreciation for the importance of building trust, respecting individuality, and creating environments where young people feel safe expressing themselves.
My approach combines person-centred counselling, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), and trauma-informed principles to help teenagers better understand their emotions, develop healthier coping strategies, strengthen self-confidence, and navigate relationships with greater awareness and resilience.
I also recognize that adolescence often involves balancing growing independence with family expectations, cultural values, and the desire to belong. As a culturally responsive counsellor offering services in English and Farsi, I strive to create a supportive space where teenagers can explore their identities, express their concerns, and feel respected without fear of judgment.
Whether you're a teenager looking for someone who will genuinely listen or a parent concerned about your adolescent's emotional well-being, I would welcome the opportunity to help. Together, we can work toward building confidence, improving communication, and developing the skills needed to navigate adolescence with greater emotional balance and self-understanding.
