Child/Teen
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.

Anxiety, depression, school difficulties, peer relationships, emotional regulation, family conflict, low self-esteem, and behavioural concerns can all impact a young person’s well-being.
