Julie Taylor Counselling
Counsellor/Therapist, MTC, RCS
I particularly understand what it is to be a parent: I have 4 sons, now grown and 8 grandchildren. I have also learned a lot through my clients and from professional development courses. Parents must address all of their children's' needs, in addition to their own and teach their children to address every single one of those needs when they become adults. Growing up is not easy and adolescence can be a particularly tough time. Please reach out and let your community help.

Kirsty Matthews
Counsellor/Therapist, MA CCC
The formative years of a person's life are critical to ensuring sound mental health in adulthood. I provide a compassionate, non-judgemental space for clients, and their families to freely express themselves and to explore their issues openly. Together we can learn how to confront challenges, heal trauma and develop self-compassion to enhance your life and move closer toward your goals.

David McAlinden
Pre-Licensed Professional, MACP Candidate, Yorkville University
Growing up can feel overwhelming, especially with the pressure from school, friendships, family expectations, identity, and social media. Many children and adolescents carry more stress, anxiety, and self-doubt than the adults around them may realize, often struggling quietly while trying to fit in, meet expectations, or figure out who they are becoming.
I aim to create a calm, supportive, and approachable space where young people feel comfortable expressing themselves openly without fear of judgment or pressure. Whether they are struggling with confidence, emotional regulation, stress, relationships, or feeling disconnected from themselves or others, my goal is to help them feel heard, understood, and supported as they work through challenges at a pace that feels manageable for them.
