Child or Adolescent Issues
Veronique Rioux
Licensed Professional Counsellor, Registered Transpersonal Counsellor (RTC number 3047)
I specialize in supporting children and adolescents as they navigate the unique challenges of growing up. From social pressures and academic stress to emotional regulation and self-identity, young people today face a wide range of issues that can impact their mental health and well-being. My approach is tailored to meet the developmental needs of each child or adolescent, providing a safe, supportive environment where they can express their feelings and explore solutions.
Using a combination of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Person-Centered Therapy, and Experiential Family Systems Therapy, I work with children, teens, and their families to address concerns such as anxiety, depression, peer relationships, self-esteem, and behavioral issues. I focus on helping young people build resilience, develop healthy coping strategies, and foster a strong sense of self-worth. My goal is to empower them to navigate their challenges with confidence while supporting parents and families in creating a nurturing and understanding environment.

Child or Adolescent Issues
Nina Hopmeier
Licensed Professional Counsellor, Registered Clinical Counsellor (RCC)
Have you been feeling worthless lately or "not good enough?" Do you sometimes feel like no matter how hard you try, you can't seem to live up to your and other people's standards? If so, you are not alone. Child and adolescent struggles often involve issues around self-esteem due to feeling inadequate or "not good enough". Individuals with low self-esteem often have an intense fear of being judged. Their thoughts typically involve beliefs around incompetence or inadequacy, and some may even believe that they are defective. These harsh self-judgments often interfere with the ability to live a fulfilling life largely due to avoiding new behaviours that may re-affirm feelings of incompetence or inadequacy. In therapy, I help clients gain insight into some of the thoughts and emotions that prevent the establishment of self-worth and self-love. Through various therapeutic approaches, including cognitive restructuring and a focus on values-oriented work, we work collaboratively to help move away from self-defeating behaviours, such as avoidance, and closer toward experiences that promote healing.

Child or Adolescent Issues
EMDR and Trauma Therapy Centre
Registered Social Worker, Registered Social Worker, MSW, RSW
Child and adolescent issues reveal the profound impact of early experiences on emotional development and behaviour. From the tender moments of infancy, the foundation of attachment is laid, shaping the blueprint for future relationships and self-perception. Trauma, whether overt or subtle, can disrupt this delicate balance, casting shadows that linger into adolescence and beyond. Child and adolescent issues emerge as a reflection of unmet needs and relational ruptures. From anxiety and depression to behavioural challenges and self-esteem issues, each struggle speaks volumes about the depth of emotional wounds and the longing for connection. Therapy offers a sanctuary for healing, providing a space to explore the complexities of attachment dynamics and process the echoes of trauma.
By nurturing secure attachments and fostering resilience, children and adolescents can rewrite their narratives, reclaiming a sense of agency and self-worth. Through supportive interventions and empathetic care, they can navigate the rocky terrain of adolescence with greater confidence and emotional regulation. In this journey of growth and discovery, the bonds of attachment become a guiding light, illuminating the path toward healing and wholeness.
