Psychologist, Registered Provisional Psychologist, MC
I work with children and adolescents to help them navigate the unique challenges of growing up. Whether it’s managing school stress, family dynamics, or emotional struggles, I use a combination of Behavioural therapies, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Play Therapy, and Family Systems Therapy to create a safe space for expression and growth. My approach is compassionate, engaging, and tailored to their developmental needs, helping them build resilience, emotional regulation, and positive coping strategies.

Licensed Mental Health Counsellor, MA, RCC
When working with child or adolescent issues, I like to start with some mindfulness around the issue to gain a deeper understanding of the experience, from here there are many options, and I rely of the client's wisdom to guide me.

Mia Klassen
Licensed Professional Counsellor, MPCC #3875, CT #2438, LSCC
Children and teens don't heal the same way adults do—they need someone who meets them in their world. As both a trained therapist and an experienced mother and grandmother, I know how to connect across ages: through play with younger children, walks and activities with teens, and deeper conversations when they're ready. Your child won't feel interrogated or judged—they'll feel understood. Together, we'll create safety where past hurts, family struggles, and overwhelming emotions can finally be expressed and processed at their own pace. Whether your child is anxious, acting out, or withdrawn, healing happens when they feel truly seen and accepted.

Registered Psychotherapist, MA, MCP, Registered Psychotherapist
Children and adolescents may experience a wide range of emotional, behavioural, social, and academic challenges as they grow and navigate different stages of development. 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. Therapy provides a safe, supportive, and age-appropriate environment where children and teens can express themselves, develop healthy coping skills, build resilience, and strengthen emotional confidence while receiving guidance and support tailored to their unique needs.
