Dr. Patrick McGrath
Psychologist, O.C., C. Psychologist
Growing up comes with a unique set of emotional, social, and academic pressures, and when children or teens struggle, it impacts the entire family system. Whether your child is navigating overwhelming anxiety, behavioral challenges, big life transitions, or difficulties with self-esteem, I provide a safe, engaging, and non-judgmental space where they can feel truly heard. Working collaboratively with both youth and their families, we use evidence-based cognitive behavioural strategies to build emotional resilience, strengthen coping tools, and foster healthier communication so everyone can thrive.

Haimove Amir
Registered Psychotherapist, psychotherapist
I provide individualized therapy and support for children and adolescents experiencing emotional, behavioural, social, developmental, and school-related challenges. Children and teens may struggle with anxiety, self-esteem, emotional regulation, friendships, communication, family changes, attention difficulties, or feeling overwhelmed by everyday expectations. My approach is developmentally appropriate and relationship-based, using play, creativity, conversation, and practical therapeutic strategies to help young people express themselves and build confidence. I also work with parents and caregivers when appropriate, helping families better understand their child's needs and develop supportive strategies at home. My goal is to create a safe environment where children and teens feel heard, respected, and supported.

Viewpoint Calgary Psychological Services
Psychologist, RPsych
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.
